Dylan Moran in Edinburgh
He has actual jokes, which is sort of confusing now, though they are good jokes. And he has stopped drinking and obviously, we should be supportive of such decisions. And yet, and yet… Maybe I went to see Bernard Black and saw Dylan Moran. Must happen a lot. I mean, that must be a huge…
Read MoreHymns for Robots – Noctium Theatre at Carlisle Fringe
When do I ever get to Carlisle Fringe? Never. So this year I made sure I caught Hymns for Robots, at The Old Fire Station. I hadn’t even realised that Delia Derbyshire had lived in Cumbria. Some interesting interpretations of interviews with Derbyshire and quite a few magical moments of sound, though I would have…
Read MoreLucy Skaer and friends at Talbot Rice
Got quite overwhelmed by Lucy’s show at Talbot Rice. The jewel-like precision with material is so appealing, things appear to fit so snuggly into and around other things, the urge to stroke is strong. And there are works from the collection (University of Edinburgh) including a simply amazing memo about a dog from one of…
Read MoreTacita Dean @ the Fruitmarket
Great to see/hear Foley Artist at Dean’s show The Woman with the Red Hat when in Edinburgh the other week. But a poorly designed itinerary meant that I didn’t get to see Event for a Stage, so I’m not really able to comment on the show as a whole. Super sharp install of course, as ever (!)…
Read MorePeter & nou – new images
Shot by designer Matthew Walkerdine for his website, I’ve half inched these gorgeous new images of Peter & nou. All those ‘corrections’ in Peter – the scoring out, line by line – were drawn by me and then scanned and overlaid on the original text by Matt, and he didn’t bat an eye. Matt is,…

Oh, the thinking really came together last night… Carlsberg.

So, this exists. You can get one at Poundland – for a limited time before the high street leaks into an oily black sinkhole.

I know I’ve mentioned this CD-Rom work of Marker’s from 1997 before, but not sure that I’ve ever watched this – a walkthrough if you like – of the whole thing. Thanks to the patience of Guillaume-en- Égypte: Immemory on YouTube
Read MoreCells Out
Thank you to Catherine Owen for reviving some old images of The Chateau’s Launch event in 2003, which I was at. Image is work by Gregor Wright – happy birthday G. Here’s a link to Cells Out at the Old Courtroom and Jail which I was at and had work in. I seem to remember…
Read MoreA 35mm 208-ish Frame Version of Blade Runner…
…for the Harp Room (2017). I’d forgotten about this film, made at Hospitalfield this time last year. Like the other 35mm 208-ish Frame films (and there are around 20 of them, you can see them if you are fortunate at www.rabbitcottontoothcottonrabbit.com) it’s made with scraps of an original 35mm copy of Blade Runner.
