All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

A very fitting title given how busy things have been – this is a mini residency at Burlington Arts Club taking place this week. Invited by Andrew Bracey and working alongside Kevin Hunt, Frances Disley and Dave Evans, we are spending the week making, playing, experimenting and talking. Yesterday we watched The Shining. There will be a private viewing event on Thursday 28th from 6 – 8pm.

Lost email

If I met you at the Manchester Artists Book Fair and promised to send you an email about artists books and things, please get in touch. You think I would learn not to write email addresses on scraps of paper wouldn’t you?

BUILT

I am in an exhibition at Rogue Project Space in Manchester, which opens this Thursday.

Exhibition details:

BUILT
1st to 8th April 2010. Opening the 1st of April from 6-8pm

Kristy Campbell, Lisa Gorton, Catherine Pudner, Emily Speed, Anna Sikorska

BUILT brings together 5 Female artists from across the UK whose practises deal with specific aspects of the built environment. Through the use of Sculpture, Installation, Animation and Performance the selected artists respond to the structures which surround our daily activity; be that personal shelters and social networks, or our more public man made surroundings that are compounded in the cities we live in. They search for a space in the parameters between art and these constructed locations, subtly commenting; “Women build stuff too”.

Built is curated by Elizabeth Murphy.
Rogue Artists’ Studios & Project Space
66-72 Chapeltown St, Manchester, M1 2WH

Recent events

I did a couple of talks during April. The first as part of a panel discussing Artists’ Books at IMT Gallery in London, and the second at an AIR Open Dialogues event at Castlefield Gallery in Manchester. Both really interesting events and opportunities to meet some great people and exchange ideas.
