'Fart In A Box' (or 'FIAB' for short) is the result of a collaboration between an internationally-acclaimed artist and a well-esteemed art historian. The process of its creation will gradually unfold in the forthcoming blog entries, posted by me, the messenger boy.
Dr Lawrence Tedman, independent Art Historian and Critic.
PhD, MA, BA Hons, C.L.A.I.T, B.A.G.A
In addition to obtaining Grade 5 in the descant recorder, Dr Tedman is also the recipient of a brownie badge for Good Housekeeping. In 1986 he received a gold star for his essay ‘My Lunchbox’, which analysed the formalist qualities of an irregularly shaped Perspex box containing two cheese sandwiches and a portion of fruit. He went on to obtain ‘Essay of the Year’ in the class of 1989, West Lewel First School. In addition to this, he was nominated the principal key holder of the Elizabeth Duke jewellery counter at Argos Ltd for three consecutive years (1997-2000). His most memorable and noteworthy contribution to the post-modern st(r)ain of Art Historical scholarship was his ground-breaking essay ‘If I Can Do It, Why Can’t You?’ (1999). He has since gone on to achieve wide critical acclaim for his theories of repackaging and ‘enactmentivity’ (1999-2009).
