Minus Plato? Stages 'Such Despotism' Outside Hunterian Art Gallery on July 4, 2026

On July 4, 2026, the collective known as minus plato? showcased 'Such Despotism (Final Version, 4th of July, 2026)' outside the Hunterian Art Gallery in Glasgow, Scotland. This performance engages with Frederic Rzewski's 1970 piece 'Jefferson,' which was composed in reaction to the Kent State shootings, while also critiquing the United States' 250th anniversary and its history of settler colonialism. Additionally, it responds to Naeem Mohaiemen's film 'Through a Mirror, Darkly,' which was exhibited at both the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, and the Hunterian Gallery. The project incorporates the LibreCaslon typeface, inspired by the original Caslon used in the Declaration of Independence, and Pueblo, designed by VIER5 for documenta 14 in Athens, 2017.
