thinkingturningrethinking

Turn the page in Norwich is coming up this weekend - http://www.turnthepage.org.uk/index.htm a must see for seeing interesting books and book related objects – they have an exhibition by Brian Dettmer which will be full of obsessive cutting and the mining of alternative narratives within books http://briandettmer.com/  while thinking about Norwich check out the Relux project which is part of the festival http://dedomenici.com/redux richard has been remaking various films – most awesomely bizarre. The Thursday lecture at NUA was by Celia Pym http://celiapym.com/ really wonderful journey – the focus was on connecting, finding out who to work with and how to sustain a practice. titled Is this a thing? I started to think about the students experience of Listening – why come to a lecture that’s not what I do....she made me rethink ...make a link with the Yoko Ono – cut piece – thinking about the real violence of the act, the fact that in archives all clothes are catalogued as a personal item and also it made me think about the role of a tutor – talking and listening professionally. Beautiful.
