theendistheend

the end is underway at Camberwell - we've started the planning process for the final show for this cohort's MA Book Art students - this year it's in Wilson's road annex as the major re-development takes over the main site. Got to see Tina C on the Southbank last night - if you like your men dressed up as female patriotic, Christian right wing country and western singers this is for you. The latest show is full of comments on the referendum and Donald Trump - go see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UTli2s_QaEA The Felix Gonzalez Torres show at Hauser and Wirth is beautiful - favourites include the blue mirror piece which is starkly blunt whilst the light bulb piece hangs poignantly within the huge space. http://www.hauserwirth.com/exhibitions/2784/felix-gonzalez-torres-curated-by-julie-ault-and-roni-horn/view/ The mentoring at Kings is going well - John Grayson is doing a great job with the maker space and the work is going well - it will look excellent within the bookcase - its final resting place. The discussion/presentations today were illuminating, with lots to build on in the future. The issue of inter disciplinarian collaborative activity - its benefits, from the feel good factor, embedding fun and ways to talk about monetising activity.
