Projects include; Free Ice Water, Free Hot Supper, Free Hot Coffee and the Free Naloxone Bike. Fifty/Fifty is a traveling series of interdisciplinary, social practice art projects fostering dialogue on addiction and recovery. John Freyer wants to speak to you… over a kilner jar of ice water, a free hot cup of Recovery Roast coffee or a leisurely London Sunday Roast. Fifty/Fifty projects activated the Tate Exchange with interdisciplinary, social practice art projects that fostered dialogue on addiction and recovery. Fifty/Fifty comprises Free Ice Water, Free Hot Coffee, and Free Hot Supper, each creating a space for solitude and self reflection, outreach and conversation, and community dialogue with diverse and unexpected audiences. Fifty/Fifty seeks to engage populations affected by addiction, from persons in long-term recovery, to a parent or loved one who is grieving the loss of a son, daughter or friend, to a stakeholder in local government. Freyer will also premiered a new choral work composed by Pete Wyer and performed by the All UK Recovery Choir led by Lee-ann Gardner. John Freyer is the first US based Associate from the the newest Exchange partner, the School of the Arts at Virginia Commonwealth University in the United States.
