Mildred's Lane

This month I was invited by artists J. Morgan Puett and Mark Dion to come out to their 'living art comlexity' - Mildred's Lane.

Acts of Kindness at Elsewhere

In October I was an artist in residence at ‘Elsewhere‘ in Greensboro, North Carolina, US. Elsewhere is a living museum in a former thrift store on the main street of Greensboro.

31a Bienal De Arte De São Paulo, Brazil. Oct I have just participated in the ‘Perpendicular Bienal’ – a curated performance intervention on the São Paulo 31st Biennale. It was a 4 day event in the Bienal foundation in Ibirapuera Park, and included about 30 artists. The theme was ‘I am present’. We worked together to create a peaceful provocative presence on the biennial pavilion. It had free entry so attracted a diverse audience. The pieces ranged from individual to collabor
