a day at Norwich Castle - working within the
build your own exhibition (alongside Turner Prize winners Assemble!)- developing
an 'alternative' way of engaging with the permanent museum displays. I have
'chosen' 3 objects and am attempting to unfold from a very cluttered brain
(looking forward to Christmas) a range of connections and questions between and
to them. Exploring the idea of creating a range of entry points to
understanding an object within a collection and then being able to navigate
through a collection are key concerns of the 'mini residency'.
Sword in the Stone - this year's 'rock and
roll' panto at The Wolsey in Ipswich is a truly great night out - shed your
inhabitations before you enter and it will be good - very good - men dressed as women,
behind you, evil combated by good, fire, smoke, illusion, oh no it isn't,
dancing - rude jokes - its all there - every year I marvel at the performers ability to
sing, dance, act and play a wide range of musical instruments - fantastic, who needs irony?http://www.wolseytheatre.co.uk/shows/the-sword-in-the-stone/
love and mercy - the Brian Wilson biopic is
stunning in its portrayal of where songs come from - the moment it 'arrives' as
the essence of a fragment, building its development, the combining of sounds
and words, the weaving of layering towards a final piece. brilliant. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0903657/
