'RAGE PEN' is an interactive photobook developed from a relational piece of the same name held at Chisenhale Studios 2017/18. Challenging the fetishisation of consumer culture & art objects 'RAGE PEN' requires users to slit open its interior pages, in the process desecrating its initial form to view a complete narrative.
Originally devised by David Blackmore as a series of shuttered performances at Chisenhale Studios, London E3, in which anonymous members of the public, or ‘ventees’ –after being interviewed by the Artist about the sources of frustration were invited to destroy objects representing sources of frustration in their lives. These violent staged attacks were photographed and filmed live by Blackmore, and the visual material became the basis for 'RAGE PEN', a photobook, as well as a set of giclée prints. Each book has been personally cut by David with a mitre saw during the launch event. These imperfections are intentional and integral to the work itself, making each copy unique. Additional textual material has been provided by Michael Hampton in the form of a critical essay examining the rage room phenomenon, plus an online conversation piece between Blackmore and Hampton.
