One Night Stand - Performance, Spike Island, November 2012
Performance Re-enactment Societypunctuated the evening's proceedings with three acts.
In these interludes, with audience participation, we carried out original versions of instruction works and enactments inspired by other artists.
Act 1 is a new interpretation of 'Unfurl' by Alison Knowles, published in 'More' (1979).

Act 3 is a version of Sophie Calle's 'The Chromatic Diet' (1997), which was itself a version of a work by the fictional artist Maria Turner, from Paul Auster's novel 'Leviathan' (1992). Calle attempted to become Auster's heroine, who was based on her; tonight, through eating, you can attempt to become Calle and Turner.
These instruction-based works were previously carried out at Arnolfini's 'The Cover of a Book is the Beginning of a Journey' (2009) and were remade for the context of 'One Night Stand' at Spike Island.

"I am interested in how a book might leave a visual trace, or imprint,
on the building as it does upon the mind of the reader. My making is
greatly inspired by my reading and this project at Maggs offers a rare
chance to produce a piece which so strongly connects with my practice."
Performance Re-enactment Society, Performing Documents: Remake, Arnolfini September 2012
Group Show
Performance Re-enactment Society's recent commission:I worked with dance artist Laura Dannequin on 'Group Show'. We focused our research around sculptural works documented in the Arnolfini archives and devised new live work in direct response to these materials. 'Group Show' was presented in the Arnolfini Galleries during the Performing Documents: Remake programme.
After Richard Hughes 'Love Seat'
The sculptural work 'Love Seat' was first exhibited at Arnolfini in Becks Futures 2006. Our 2012 'cover' was created with photographer Carl Newland and dance artist Laura Dannequin in Arnolfini's Dark Studio during our early research.

Rhod 2012, Wales - new site specific work
4 new site responsive works for Rhôd 2012
Rhôd is a unique open-air contemporary art event held annually in Drefelin, Carmarthenshire. Since 2009 the owners of Melin Glonc Mill, Roger Lougher and Mari Beynon Owen, have arranged for artists to show their installation art in and around the old corn mill.
The underlying theme of the event has been to open a dialogue between artists who work in urban and rural environments. Each year the show has been curated by artists who have previously been exhibitors. This year the curator was Kathryn Campbell Dodd.
