spillisover

so a woman leaves the space via a giant vagina after performing labiaplasty on herself with bacon, a man uses rubber gloves to talk about care and loneliness, I stand in a room but through technology am in a wood the first time and then on the beach the second - surrounded by birds, watch the question chicken or egg performed by a woman 'black faced' with electrical tape, understand our culture through repetitive action, a flower emerges, a doll emerges both from within body orifices, people in costumes created from the DIY store explore alienation, mirrors are used to present ideas and a vagina, a whisper takes my breath away and so much more - yes I have emerged from Spill a little bit wiser and a little more open. I was struck by the respect spill audiences have for the space of performing especially as I walked late through Ipswich. check out tweets - @BicknellLes  some photographs of the aftermath from the performances.

twitterKennethGoldsmithvKennethGoldsmithconversation


a mixed week, in terms of types of activity rather than quality! of interesting teaching, especially running a workshop around reflective thinking at nua http://www.slideshare.net/l.bicknell/001-09-10-14-reflective-thinking-pdp - its quite a concept to ‘get your head round’ and it was a joy to watch individual students ‘get it’ in front of me. in the studio I spent most of the week folding for http://de-reform.blogspot.co.uk/


meanwhile over at twitter it’s been interesting to watch from the sidelines the collaborative meta conversation that is Kenneth Goldsmith - Kenneth Goldsmith https://twitter.com/OnBeingKennyG - its important to know that Kenneth Goldsmith is a founder of ubuweb http://www.ubuweb.com/ and a little background on his practice http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Goldsmith to ‘get’ it.
