hi, i’ve just returned from zurich/switzerland where i went to the opening of the show ‘love & anarchy’ at K3 where i participated with the 4-section collective score ‘what are we doing what’s happening to us what needs to be done i prefer not to’, which i played live in the opening night event “a vinyl LP documenting the ongoing project Protest Academy, an inquiry into Tactile Audio and the sonification of protest. From political demonstrations to intimate acts of personal resistance, the project examines the relationship between sound and political intention and pinpoints emerging forms of audio organisation including artistic collaborations, activist practices and ad-hoc impromptu performative actions.” (from K3 press release)

i’m also posting to my flickr account images of the exhibition by rodney graham ‘renaissance man, works 1400-1977′ I saw at hauser &wirth gallery, as i would like to discuss his work, so check the images on my photoblog or on the gallery’s website where you can also find the press release.
