Work and a new zine from Project After S will feature in an event at Verkstad, Norrköping, Sweden on the evening of 03.09.2010. The event is organised by Susanne Ewerlöf
I will also be reading from Project After S as part of a two day Vision Forum event at Universität Linköping, Sweden happening between 03.09-04.09.2010
In Winter 2009 I was invited to participate in the Vision Forum Programme hosted by KSM at Linköpings Universitet in Sweden. The award will allow me to develop a new body of visual research titled ‘Project After S’. The project investigates the possible application of Utopian imagination and archeological method to research an ancient history of Shenzhen, a city that is in fact only 25 years old.
Extract: …On returning from China I tell you about: buildings, century eggs, the lack of history, the impossible length of history.
I have seen that: Shenzhen presents to us a field of history that is (was actually) flattened, compacted, developed (at great speed), and somehow made miniature.
Old eggs: alike to finds from archaeological digs. (Do you know the process? By which they’re gathered, wrapped in rice and tea and buried in the earth – practically archaeology in reverse)…
‘Project After S’ began whilst working on Inheritance-Shenzhen in China during Winter 2009 and is kindly supported by Inheritance Projects and Vision Forum. The work will be presented at Linköpings Universitet, Sweden in Autumn 2010.
Images from A Study In Grey were featured in the University of Westminster’s Alumni Exhibition Biografica, which opened at the Piramal Gallery in the The National Centre for Performing Arts in South Bombay, India on the 14th of September 2009. All the work can now be seen here featured on the University of Westminster website.
