On my last day of office observation, Iris and I had arranged to meet up to discuss plans. (Iris is a dancer who has agreed to work with me on this project and who also, very conveniently for me, works […]
Tours of Room 1 of the Museum of Space Exploration’s 800th anniversary exhibition of artefacts have been running – with appreciation of the performance art required to sustain suspension of disbelief. One colleague has suggested that we might show together […]
It is still hosing it down out there. I am beginning to think I should be building an ark instead of sorting out my exhibition signage. I may be fiddling while Rome burns – so to speak. Spent yesterday with […]

It’s been way too long since I’ve written a post here on Blending Primaries, but it has been with good reason and lots of hard work as culprit. I was in London recently curating an exhibition called ‘What’s time got […]
Saw an amazing and on the edge piece of live theatre on Saturday at Northern Stage, the Belarus Free Theatre in ‘Minsk 2011’, most members of the company have either been arrested, some tortured and/or lost their jobs or places […]
