A CONSTRUCTED WORLD
June For The Memory
17 Mar 2017—01 Apr 2017
I’m Nobody! Who are you?
Are you —Nobody —too?
Then there’s a pair of us!
Don’t tell! they’d banish us —you know!
How dreary —to be —Somebody!
How public —like a Frog—
To tell your name —the livelong June— To an admiring Bog!
Emily Dickinson
It was on a skype call (without picture) that Lisa Radford said ‘ it’s time to do something’ ‘we gotta do something’. We think the same. We been away such a long time, lost our youth and our minds. Had every gain, bar raised and undermined. Under mine and yours we can still almost be together. Lisa Radford’s book amazing. TCB. We are going to reprise Callum Morton’s tree costume from 1998. he turned up uninvited to be in a video in the Whipstick forest and it changed our way of working and reckoning: anyone-can-be-in-it, NO NEED TO BE GREAT. Jarrod, Lena Douglas, Ry, Jon were all invited again. We invited a go-go dancer we met in Prato and then Paris. It’s the opposite of crowd funding it’s the opposite of quantifying what you have to give, it remains entre nous and You.
