Hal Silver: Day & Night
Images 1-2; Day & Night was held by Hal Silver* at The Photography's Gallery, London, on 9 Oct 2014. The popular party game of Mafia is used in a participatory workshop to explore group dynamics and behavioural patterns.
Image 3: Day & Night was held for the first time on 8 Nov 2013 at a warehouse in South London as part of a curatorial residency by ccthenr. Around 20 people attended and shared conspiratorial accusations, soda bread and whiskey.
*Through exhibitions, workshops and broadcasts Hal Silver explored how collective thought is formed and the relationship of the individual to the group.
Hal Silver first stopped working together in 2013 and experienced a period of inactivity. Following a resurgence throughout 2014 brought about by invitation and opportunity Hal Silver once again stopped working together in Sweden, Denmark, France and the UK. Following a number of years during which no direct signals from Hal were detected, a familiar communication channel appeared to open in early 2019. Hal Silver is yet to be confirmed.
