During each exhibition Fabrica explores ways of interacting, considering and contextualising the work through associated events, like most galleries. Obviously there is huge scope for creativity in this process, being artist led, Fabrica always programs a surprisingly diverse range of […]
One remembered moment from the Installation. At times the sounds of the work bordered upon obscene, even with ear defenders on, making conversation virtually impossible – During a natural lull in the noise, a passer-by popped their head around the […]
At some point the sculpture was complete – it was just prior to the doors opening for the first non-build viewers. One of the best things about this particular work was that it’s degree of completeness was measurable only in […]
Semantics is a fine thing. Sorting out those who are attending a ‘private view’, from those who are coming to a ‘preview’ from amongst the majority interested enough to make it to the ‘opening’ of an exhibition, is one of […]
Wednesday the 9th of July was my first active day as Animateur in residence, and although the role wasn’t exactly sprung on me, I spent most of the day considering how close the word Animateur is to Amateur and feeling […]

I have just been scanning the small book that I carry and realise that the various threads to do with this project are romping away with me. Too much intriguing stuff keeps emerging, and although I am sure that they […]
Playing with a filter of metaphor, we considered the sculpture as a forest. This is OK because it may well resemble one when we see it, and if it doesn’t, the exercise will produce some lively misunderstandings.I ran through many […]
