Robert Pratt is an artist who lives and works in London. Pratt spends a lot of time looking at things. He has an extensive collection of objects found on walks, a polaroid archive and a big record collection. The time spent looking often gives way to an absurd reading of an object’s internal logic. What is it? What is it trying to do? Has it failed? Why did I pick it up? Have I failed? Should I just quit? Is there any time for this? 

Are we failing?

Pratt is one half of the D.I.Y record label Rat Run Records and performs under several aliases, the psychedelic improvised sound artist Entschuldigung, he’s the drummer and vocalist in punk band Business Dudes, a founding member of Right Idea Wrong Machine and most recently recorded and mixed an album under the moniker SLOPS.
