Working on SZC is a joy – the
bookwork/catalogue for the show is coming along, choosing images and designing
the layout is informative, giving me a moment to reflect on the past year –
planning the next stage of work in schools to generate imagery to cover fences,
at the same time focusing on the achievements around power in this part of the
world. Went to Parrs model shop in Lowestoft and found myself coming out with
models of men in construction, a lick of burning ore (colour) and they are all
PPE’d up. Editioned a give-away. Going to a club night at Snape was a thing, I
started my clubbing experience on disco and grew up on funk and ska and reggae,
interspersed with psychobilly! I missed house music as a formative experience
so.....spending a whole night subjected to what began to realise is effectively
nazi marching music for the clueless was depressing. Each to their own but to
enjoy the 'dancing' means that you have to bring your own soul and creativity
to the occasion.........dull dull dull. Hang on it sounded a bit like that.....
for 3 hours and I sound like an old man! But watching the mirror ball and
thinking about Sizewell domes………Going into London to celebrate Synthetic
Anatomy’s win with lunch was lovely, it was great to see everybody after the
wonderful summer and to plan the next iteration. I popped into see to Do Ho
Suh show at the Tate - quite beautiful and ethereal, although it was very full.
The Turbine Hall had Goavve-Geabbil" by Máret Ánne Sara. It is let down by
the fixings into grey painted wood on the base. It would look great planted
directly into dirt. Onto screens – The Hack is devastating for
so many reasons, mainly watching lives being torn apart, catching those
responsible to watch everybody concerned get away with it (with bonuses).
