between twiceness and thriceness: a conversation on collaborative making

For CAMP’s Online Talks Series, Shelley Hodgson and I will present a performative conversation that examines our work together over the past two years. Resulting in a performance, a radio show and a public conversation, our collaboration has generated material, raised questions, and prompted reflection.

In our zoom conversation for CAMP, from two locations, Shelley and I will focus on questions of collaboration. Talking about how we have found a way to work together, how we make work that is jointly developed. Discussing how we use strategies of scores, timing, and our different skills, to make work that feels properly collaborative. A lot of this depends on trust, on communication, and on being OK with things that don’t ‘work’. We will use flash cards, some recorded sound, a dictaphone, and there will be sonic interruptions and obscure gestures.

The event will be accessible live online on Tuesday 8th April 2025 at 1830hrs via the CAMP Mighty Network.

‘toward an emblem’ presentation video now online

The recording of the zoom live performance of the text and image work ‘toward an emblem’ is now online at the CAMP website. The slide-film with reading was presented as part of the CAMP Huddle event on 8th December. My performance runs to 25:39 on the timeline. It is followed by a short Q&A with the online audience, and then there is a presentation by artist Sarah Trotter. Follow the link to the CAMP website HERE and scroll down to watch the video.

review / response to SLANT Voiceworks on Tentacular

My response to the second event in SLANT’s Voiceworks project is one of three now up on Tentacular magazine at https://www.tentacularmag.com/elsewhere-blog/voiceworks-responses. I write briefly about work by Emma Bennett, Anamaria Barduli, and Kinga Tóth. Originally planned as live events at Iklectik in Lambeth, the works were streamed online in September 2020.

What Time is Art? workshop for CAMP

On 24th and 26th August 2020, I will run a two-part online workshop as part of the PITCH programme of events for CAMP (Contemporary Art Membership Plymouth) .

What Time is Art? is an investigation of time in (y)our art practice. Over two 2-hour sessions we will discuss ideas of time in relation to art practice(s). The sessions will address how a story of making is told, how telling it locates it in time, and how the told story endures or is lost.

Booking is via the CAMP website.
