Notes on a Return
I will be giving a talk as part of the Laing Art Gallery programme ‘ Notes on a Return’, Newcastle, 4th/ 5th September ‘09.
‘Witness Statement’ will discuss the challenges of presenting performance and live work through mediated documentation. Reflecting on the experience as artist and lecturer, I will consider the ‘loss’ of the experiential, and difficulty in communicating that which takes place beyond the frame.

Abramavic presents …
Glad I went but felt patronized! I didn’t feel that I needed to wear a lab coat to become an ‘informed audience’. The work was mixed. Kira O’Reilly and Alastair McLennan were great - moving, paced… but some of the other artists were a lot less inspiring. Amanda Coogan - really poor! Couldn’t understand the inclusion of this work. Stayed with Melati Suryodarmo the longest.
Feral Choir
I performed in the new Feral Choir with Phil Minton, 1st July, 8pm, St. Mary’s Church, Lowgate, Hull.
Amazing, collective, glossolalia!
