Essay - Is that Cocteau’s horse?
Issue 016 of the ADSR Zine edited by Elia Bosshead and James Hazel was cocurated by Cementa22. I was asked to contribute and ended up writing about how I came to make my work for Carnviale Catastrophe, a stand alone exhibition presented by MAPBM as part of Cementa22.. As I was also curating the exhibition and we had an extensive suite of performances and public programes I didn’t get away from the exhibition until the last day of the four day festival. That was when I discovered Ivy Wawn’s choreographed video work. The links between the works were strong and I’m still thinking through the connections.
