weekendleaningtothemonday


A full Saturday – first off For Folks Sake private view at The Cut. A great crowd in a place transformed by wonderfully bloody-minded lighting - glorious. Its always a pleasure to turn out to see Eastern Angles, usually at a village hall somewhere in Suffolk. The Town Council building at Orford was the venue for their latest show - The Deep https://easternangles.co.uk/event/the-deep Monday at Norwich University of the Arts I dopped into a fashion lecture by Jeremy Hutchinson - having access to thinking reminded me why I work in an academic context. A really thoughtful take on the object and its role in the capitalist project we are caught in. Making an object - making meaning - object making - object meaning - the language of the image - the ritual of exorcism - creating something that hovers between object and subject - a person and a thing - shamanifacture - black Friday as a carnival of death - most excellent. Onto screens - The Instigators - slow start but a funning second half.

livinghistorymorewithless


Just finished reading Stuffication - living more with less by James Wallman – the book has some excellent strategies to cope with the capitalist industrial complex! Issues around objects has been a thing for a while. My rethinking started with clothes and has moved into the kitchen. Onto screens – Nobody wants this – kooky and sweet. This time next year – sweet and kooky.
