BAD IDEA

STATIC STATE presents BAD IDEA

Adamastor Studios, Lisbon

Remember that craze when people would jump from a high balcony to a lower one? You could watch videos of the jumpers, shouting for joy as they leapt. Some landed safely, but others never got to the platform they were aiming for.

An impulse can last a very long time – even after you count to ten, you can still want to do it. And why don’t you do it? Who told you it was a bad idea anyway?

STATIC STATE: Alex Allan, Matt Barnes, Cornelius Dupre, Kevin Harman, Joel Kaplan, Liam Richardson and Norrie Harman.
