i have mainly been working on the Moulsham street project this week – there have been some interesting developments around material use and creative possibilities. i spent a really interesting morning meeting with some past pupils from Moulsham School. they had many wonderful stories that i am sure will in some way find themselves into the project. in general i also found out about British restaurants – set up during the war to provide a meal – i will follow this up after the project. meanwhile we on the BA Textile Course at NUCA are working on migrating the course to another framework, building systems for learning, i had a day of feedback sessions for the MATC students and on Saturday went to faster than sound at Snape Maltings and watched FM Einheit ex of Einsturzender Neubauten (who I saw set fire to a curtain at North London Poly in 1983ish) smash breeze blocks on a metal tray miked up while being accompanied by Susan Stenger on lap top and Steve Tyler on Hurdy Gurdy – all accompanied by a film from Iain Sinclair – fantastic.
