Just returned from an epic trekking experience: did the 'circuito grande' of the Torres del Paine national park in Patagonia, Chile. Walked about 180km over 8 days starting at Refugio Laguna Amarga and ending at the waterfalls at Pudeto (map below). The park itself has a variety of areas of outstanding natural beauty and levels of tourist infiltration, from more upscale country-hotel lodgings to

Just went to see the Broadwater Farm exhibition, portraying the story of a massive council estate complex in Tottenham made infamous after it's 1985 riots. Held at Bruce Castle Museum, an interesting site in itself, a strange piece of history nestled in one of the more socioeconomically challenged areas of London. The power of the exhibit was in it's honour of the local people who

I have been really interested in Antony Gormley's piece happening at Trafalgar Square because it encompassed all the good things and bad things about working within a community context.

Had a fantastic trip to visit Hastings, the first stop on the tour of the Museum of British Folklore, and witness the unleashing of Jack in the Green who gets slaughtered to release the spirit of summer. Legend says Jack began as a sweep garland that gradually grew to cover an entire man. Accompanied by Black Sal, the Bogies and the Giants check out the images of this great spring awakening!Click

Attended the launch of the first museum proposed to house a collection of artifacts regarding folklore throughout Britain. Conceptualised and created by Simon Costin, the museum is currently touring festivals in Britain this summer as a concept encased in a retro camper. Jenna Rossi-Camus designed Simon's costume for the tour and thus my opportunity to get to know the project first-hand. Spread

SLEAFORD.- A youth mob composed of thousands of teenagers is due to descend upon the rural Lincolnshire town of Sleaford as part of a new art work by artist Kelly Large. Kelly Large has been working on this project entitled 'Our Name is Legion' since she was commissioned in 2008 by Beacon Art Project to work as artist in residence at Kesteven and Sleaford High School. The initial idea came about

This is a biographical series from the New York Times about everyday people in the Big Apple. Its absolutely poetic and reinforces the notion that the true makers of culture and society are the unsung heroes that join us in the machine. 1-in-8-Million

A circle of rats with tails intertwined pulling out to form a circle... There is a certainly metaphor here for our own interrelated condition and how inevitably we are all inexorably inextricable no matter what direction we may be pulling....

I'm currently researching micro-stories and place-making for the Beirut project this summer. I think this poem is a great metaphor for using those important elements in-between the everyday that may actually be holding us together:The Picket FenceOne time there was a picket fencewith space to gaze from hence to thence.An architect who saw this sightapproached it suddenly one night,removed the

It was really odd to attend the inauguration. I wanted to write about the extreme joy and passion and love and life but actually I can't say thats what I saw. The TV seems to portray that really well, throngs of people cheering and crying, but I think the reality was much more subtle than that. In many ways much more intense. The journey really began waiting at Penn Station at 5am in a freezing

Wandering around Beirut, got lost and found an internet place so thought I would drop in a do a quick travelogue... Have only been in the city 48 hours and leaving in another 48, but am really looking forward to coming back and doing a project. This is a place moving as quickly as possible away from its past. The streets are busy and feel very safe, there are cafe's, bars, restaurants both trendy

Have been invited to develop and teach a new course at Buckinghamsphire New University entitled "Events and Audiences". The course will invite students to think outside the box, utilising the social sphere as a place of engagement and encounter, taking into consideration who is the potential audience and what may be the message to communicate.Also teaching "Devising Practice" at Royal Holloway.
