a cracking evening at the New Wolsey on thursday night - I must recommend Antarctica by Chris Dobrowolski http://www.cdobo.com/ the live art piece deconstructs the idea of an art school lecture which focuses on a trip to Antarctic - and explores areas of truth and the real - thoughts after the show swirl around whether the whole piece was an elaborate hoax. If you get a chance I would recommend delving into the meta world of the ladybird book - its a wonderful sequence in the piece.
just finished collaborating/directing the latest film around the folding pieces I'm developing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XCkhpjg8Ms the work uses more sophisticated software to explore layers and time within the pieces. The sound comes from some work I did with for an interactive commission published as a CD-ROM it is part of INSITE, it was a collection of digital artworks commissioned by Suffolk County Council. A link to a film still from the project http://artistbooks.ning.com/profiles/blogs/second-edition-virtual-books.
Looking forward to watching Play at the Dance House in Ipswich on Friday. It’s a 3D-imaging-dance-fest by
the Jasmin Vardimon Company. Teaching at NUA and on the OCA so far this week has
been all about audiences and the makers relationship(s) to making - http://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/context-audience-understanding2014
why do we make the things we do and who are they for?
An excellent morning at what is a great venue - my local arts centre - The Cut in
Halesworth - a read through of the latest play by Robin Brookes – Britten’s got
Talent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_Brooks
It’s both a comedic romp and a clever exploration
of Britten the man whilst gently referencing the research that must of gone into the work. A meditation on what drives creativity, looking at the role
of beauty and challenging a few stereotypes along the way. Simon Butress read
superbly the part of Britten, bringing life to the words on a page! I can’t
wait to see the play when it’s on at The Wolsey in Ipswich late November. http://www.wolseytheatre.co.uk/4859/shows/brittens-got-talent.html
