In 2012 performance trio post are developing a new show, ‘THE THING ABOUT DEATH’-  a presentation of the canon’s death scenes in chronological order. For ‘TTAD’, post will gather death scenes from Aeschylus to Shakespeare, and all the way to Tarantino. These scenes will be catalogued, dismembered, and reassembled to establish new narratives: a collective manifesto on death.  As members of a generation that is largely regarded as apathetic, they find themselves on a borderline - engaging in an avant-garde yet still very much involved in a mass media existence. As such they are committed to making work that exists as a valid contribution to the contemporary art community, and is also accessible and relevant to their peers and the wider community.
