Out & About
Monster Chetwynd, 1973, is a British Turner Prize–nominated artist, known for reworkings of iconic moments from cultural history in improvised performances. Monster is Bottled mayhem, unbridled enthusiasm, passionate and romantic about local history, excited about nonsense, tenacious, engulfing and positive. Deeply manipulative and thoroughly opportunistic it’s a relief to know Monster is hell bent on fun and things that are funny!
