I’m taking part in Film/Video/Performance – a series of screenings at Wimbledon Space curated by Terry Smith. Click here for more details. My video is on Monday 8th March as part of Four Corners programme.

Bastet will be shown in an exhibition at Arsenal Gallery in Poznan, Poland taking place between 7th May and 6th June 2010 as part of The Pursuit of Happiness project involving 35 international artists.

In the last week of September myself and 3 other artists (aka Continental Breakfast): Amelie Scalercio (Australia), Lynette Bester (South Africa) and Marie Snauwaert (Belgium) were artists-in-residence at Brisons Veor Trust seaside cottage, near St Just on the west coast of Cornwall.

The result of our collaboration was a performative installation involving the public presented as part of This weekend…? – a series temporary site-specific public art events commissioned by BOSarts and curated by Ruth Goodning and Veronica Vickery. More info on the project’s website.

Between 12th-17th of September 2009 I participated in a Creative Laboratory in Skopje, Macedonia – a one-week residency based at CDA-T House cultural centre. The final presentation of works created during the laboratory took place on the 18th of September.

Together with sound artist Martin Clarke I’m participating in two artist residencies in the Caucasus this summer: at Art and Cultural Studies Laboratory in Yerevan, Armenia and Art Villa Garikula in Garikula, Georgia. We will spend over five weeks in the region making collaborative work in response to the locality and researching the local arts scene. The trip is supported by the ‘STEP Beyond’ mobility fund of the European Cultural Foundation and Artquest. Keep updated about our Caucasian adventures on our residency blog.
