LISTEN AGAIN to the Goldsmiths MFA show 2007

I have now recovered from the Goldsmiths final show. All the free booze has been drunk and the knives and the chainsaw have been packed away. I still can’t get the blood stains out of that suit.

I decided it was an appropriate time to move on.

I set out on a great journey in search of wisdom which took my across Europe. I have now returned and I will be typing up a journal of my adventures on this blog very soon.

In the meantime I have uploaded the radio show that went out as part of the Goldsmiths show for you to download and listen again. The program is compilation of audio works by graduating students on the Masters of Fine Art program at Goldsmiths College. The show opens with a radio drama called “A Play About” by Sarah Santos who helped me to produce the show. There is chance to hear my post-apocalyptic sci-fi audio drama “Anti-Frieze”. Ron Lapid contributed a recording of a telephone conversation in which he tries to make friends with a lady from a call centre in India. Alex Staiger contributed a recording of an art school tutorial which has been remixed by musician Darren Callow. Maryilyn Michele Kunkle contributed a story about herding cows. DiDi Lin has been asking people to tell her their most embarrassing stories and has re-recording them using actors so we can all hear them. The show also features a selections of live recording from an event I organised called Frogstock Festival in a Art Gallery with Victor Mount, Leigh Clarke, Martin White and The Man from The Woods. There is also plenty of other great stuff. The show was hosted by artist Robin Kirsten.

The end is nigh


The last few weeks have been a little intense. My art work for the Goldsmiths College Masters of Fine Art final examinations has to be ready for Monday.

There are a lot of students finishing this year. There are a lot of students with a lot of artwork to fit into the studio for the final show. Space is at a premium. I ended up with a lecture theatre rather than a studio space. Though it wasn’t what I had expected and I had to make a few last minute changes to my plan, I think it will work much better for me.

I have made the space into my own theatre. The only question is, what will I do in it?

It’s my final show so I decided to pull out all the stops and go for a big blow out grand finale spectacular that people won’t foget.

Yesterday I saw the health and safety inspector. The knives, the chainsaw and the booze are ok, but I am not allowed to block any fire exits.
