For a few years Freakley performs by speaking in “quotations” with “reference” as her normal mode of speech, in everyday public life. She will be launching the second phase of her performance (speaking in quotation from people she has heard in the flesh) with a set of videos of the completed first phase and database of the second phase to come. From the launch onwards for the next year she will be speaking in quotes. At the launch for Performa, she will be wandering around attempting to converse for the first time in second phase quotes with audience members.There will be a quote generated speech to launch the new chapter. The Quote Generator is absorption of unoriginality. Language is already stolen; we already quote all the time. The Quote Generator is a foreigner fumbling desperately, constantly trying to learn the new mode of speech. The Quote Generator is vomit until you are what you eat, the books you read, the music you listen to, the films you watch, the people you talk to. See www.thequotegenerator.com for more information.
