Ayling & Conroy City Gallery

Ayling & Conroy went for a fairly traditional 'gallery minimal' style for their show in Leicester, rather than their immersive installation at Spectacle last year (which suited my own tastes more). Still, there were some really interesting things there, particularly the painting series based on the prints of Katasushika Hokusai but done in the style of teach yourself to paint guru Bob Ross. Mark Hutchinson (seen talking to Hannah) wrote a good text for the handout publication too.



There was an after show party at The Function Room, Ed DJing, and a small group of us dancing wildly to make up for the lack of participation from everyone else

Apparatus Phasmatis II

Stuart did his AudioVisual performance again, at All Saints Church, Highcross Street, Leicester. Flickering ghost images from our old performances jumped around the space, moody organ music and chanting children moved from speaker to speaker.



He'd changed the music so he had more control over it, but was a bit pissed off cos he couldn't get the microphones to work and record live sound.



I was pretty stressed and out of it, apologies to those people I saw that night and just mumbled stuff while giving them a thousand yard stare.
