Project for My House Gallery
Last updated: 24th January 2007
A 2 day part performance and audience participation event in which objects were made with newspaper and packing tape and then put into boxes and are now being stored. Photographs were taken of each item that was made as documentation of its creation. I had a lot of fun with this one.

This Year's Model - Last Year's News
When: 22nd April - 4th June 2006
Where: Q Arts Gallery in Derby.
My work within the show: This is an installation centred around a couple of shelves of archive boxes. Starting with various news sources I created models and videos by manipulating the information either directly or using the ideas from within the source information. On the opposite side of the space is a collection of newspapers and other information that were collected during the research stage of this project. There is also a computer available that

The official blurb: Combining communication, optimism in human nature and a fantastic sense of humour... this group exhibition presents the best in new graduate work from the Midlands region. All of the artists involved examine everyday events and occurrences, which seem at first glance unremarkable. Through their observations of how people smile, how we perceive God, how we examine daily news events and how we communicate with other people and primates, these artists present a sincere and intriguing view of the world over the past year.

Here Come the Serious Quirks
Last updated: 30th November 2006
When: 21st April - 4th June 2006. A small room is made up to look like the inside of a box. Inside, you can "draw" on the walls using UV lights, and through the marvel of the Internet, see through the handle of a box at the Future Focus exhibition. The official blurb: A year on from the successes of Somewheretogo and Stand Assembled, Here Come the Serious Quirks is a group exhibition curated by Andrew Cullen, Dan Keeling, Nick Lupton, Ian Nesbitt and Alexander Stevenson. The team comes from deep within Stand Assembly's collective consciousness and has emerged gnashing
its teeth and baying for art to be made!

Storeroom
Added: 29th November 2006
This project was about all the memories that get 'stored' into archives. I made up a small room with shelves of boxes. Each of the boxes contained models, video or other information of some sort. Photos can be found on the Stand Assembly website here: (Lori Amor)
Dislocate
Last updated: 29th November 2006
An exhibition in Tokyo curated by Emma Lewis of Trampoline in Nottingham, UK. The official information:
We constantly swim through an invisible sea of hidden reality – our environment is not formed only by our physical surroundings but of its multiplicity of insubstantial networks – constantly transmitting and receiving. Physical geography is being transcended, psycho-geography is extended. We are never located in just one space. Here is not just here but also there.
‘Dislocate’ is an exhibition examining the tensions between the local and the global – the elements and identity of one local space which are simultaneously intersected
We constantly swim through an invisible sea of hidden reality – our environment is not formed only by our physical surroundings but of its multiplicity of insubstantial networks – constantly transmitting and receiving. Physical geography is being transcended, psycho-geography is extended. We are never located in just one space. Here is not just here but also there.
‘Dislocate’ is an exhibition examining the tensions between the local and the global – the elements and identity of one local space which are simultaneously intersected
by countless global links and influences.
The exhibition brings together a group of innovative artists based in UK and Japan. All of the works in this exhibition demand participation leading the viewer to question their place amongst these many floating worlds.
The exhibition aims to consider our contribution to the city, our impact on our space and our perception of it. As structures which surround us become not only rooted in their locality but increasingly networked we must consider our integration, awareness and interaction with these networked spaces.
This exhibition is produced in association with Trampoline. Trampoline is a new media art organisation based in Nottingham, UK and Berlin, Germany. This platform for new media is dedicated to promoting new technology art and artists through exhibition, commissioning and educational events.

Going to my sisters house

A short video made while driving in Texas.
29 Seconds
Last updated: 25th November 2006
A video installation project. The plan for this video was to take a journey in my car whilst listening to certain songs in order to spark memories and then use those memories to create a collage or a sort of map to represent them. I took the video of the actual journey and projected 29 seconds of it onto the map that I made.
