a day of building projects and making connections - then
onto 2 sessions of Shakespeare with Forced Entertainment - I managed to see 8 plays
with everyday objects standing in for the characters, all on a table top - storytelling
of the first degree - it really was brilliant. If you ever get the opportunity
to see Forced Entertainment grab it and if they are doing table-top Shakespeare
start lining up.....Although badly hung Electronic Superhighway at the
Whitechapel has some gems - Allan Kaprow's Hello was very funny and of the
moment (in both 1969 and 2016!) another odd historical piece was the very
creepy surveillance shoe by Jill Magi. Of the new work on show JODI's Geogoo
and Jan Robert Leegte's Scrollbar Composition were highlights. The Wellcome
Trust has States of Mind -Tracing the Edges of Consciousness a mixed show of
work created by artists and historical documents from their collection. it's
worth it to see Mary Kelly's Post-Partum Document.
