Goodbye to wire sculpture Guardian Angel, collected from my studio and driven to her new home in Surrey.
She sat in the front seat next to Paul Winter of London Art, I told him to tell her all his troubles, she’s a good listener.

James
I delivered and hung this life size wire sculpture last week, in the lawyers’ office in Chelmsford, Essex, joining Irina. It is based on Laban dance student, James Pett. Image soon of the two sculptures together in their new abode.
I am still missing Irina‘s calming presence in my studio. Irina was delivered in January see archive January 16th to view image:

Move: Choreographing You
Wednesday, November 3rd, 2010The dialogue between visual art and dance is of primary concern in my practice as an artist, so the new exhibition at the Hayward Gallery, exploring the interaction between art and dance from the 1950’s to the present is of particular interest. Spectators are encouraged to interact with the exhibits, many of which have been created specifically to be used in dance performances, affecting the movement and outcome of the dance.
Every day dancers (alumni of Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance) are in the gallery performing and discussing work. They are very knowledgeable about the dances and will readily talk to you, by interacting with them you will be part of a Performance Event, Production created by Xavier Le Roy and Marten Spangberg.
American, Mike Kelly, has created a theatrical space, laying out objects for the public to interact with in Adaption: Test Room Containing Multiple Stimuli Known to Elicit Curiosity and Manipulatory Responses the dancers perform with the props in this space.
On Saturdays between 12 and 4 the Yvonne Rainer dance, Trio A is performed in the gallery. The complex pedestrian movements are danced in a fluid continuous stream, no music. If you read my blog on 21st October you may remember I drew two of the dancers performing Trio A on the pavement outside Cafe Luc as part of the Secret Frieze After Party. Impromptu performances of Huddle, choreographed by Simone Forti based on improvisation and chance takes place throughout the gallery.
Trio A Huddle
The Fact of Matter is choreographed by William Forsythe
consisting of gymnastic
rings hanging from the ceiling for visitors to swing and step through exploring the limits and weight of the body, a test of physical and mental agility.
Hula-Hoops are laid out for everyone to use in Rooftop Routine. Ropes hang from the ceiling to sit or stand in.There are also screens with archived material to watch, and many more displays to interact with than I have mentioned.

Guardian Angel in a Fusion of Art and Science
Thursday, October 7th, 2010A collaboration between London Art, HDR Architects and Art-Atelier has resulted in my sculpture Guardian Angel to be exhibited in the window of HDR’s exhibition space in Monck Street SW1. The exhibition, titled A Fusion of Art and Science displays the work of eight artists with a shared interest in the connections of science and art, including sculpture, painting and drawing.
