A Partial Disassembling of an Invention Without a Future: Helter-Skelter and Random Notes in Which the Pulleys and Cogwheels Are Lying Around at Random All Over the Workbench

This amazing exhibition in the Curve Gallery at the Barbican until 8th February is well worth seeing.



















It is made up of over 12,000 cyanotype (a photographic print with a cyan-blue tint) prints.

Everyday for nearly a year Walead Beshty placed objects from his studio on porous surfaces (including cardboard, paper and wood) that was coated with ultra violet sensitive material.

Once exposed to sunlight the object's silhouette appears against a cyan-blue background with stunning results.

Open Mic at Bank Street

This evening as a Guerrilla Writer I read Plato's Republic in the Open Mic as part of Art as Political Expression at Bank Street.

A Monument to the Unread

My last day reading at Bank Street as part of A Monument to the Unread.

A Monument to the Unread

Today I have been down at Bank Street reading Love in the Time of Cholera by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in support of Robert Good's residency.

I also read Sue Townsend's The Secret Diary of Adrain Mole Aged 133/4.

A Monument to the Unread

Another day and another reading down at Bank Street. Today it was George Eliot's Middlemarch.
