I played a last official/inoficcial gig at ‚eXperimental electronics‘ in the Castle in London. I was not on the Setlist and blagged my way in. I had only one instrument, my trusty ZOOOM SOS. Lara gave me 10 minutes, I made good use of them, even if I started playing during the cigarette break to a pretty empty room.
Tim Drage filmed it which I am very grateful for.

It’s been close to a year now since I had the Night Shift show at Simon Oldfield Gallery. Yesterday, I was surprised in a very very nice way by Rebecca Helen Page, who has filmed bits of the performance I’ve done there and uploaded them to Vimeo.
It was quite a noisy performance with very weird sound and I had very short hair at that time.
The desk I had my instruments on was absolutely gorgeous. It felt like my own private TARDIS.

Thanks a lot Rebecca.
Oh, the randomness. The whole thing was disorganised as fuck!
Of course, there was no projector, the Kaoss pad’s power adapter broke, I forgot the extra special cable for the Zoom 505 at home. The PA sucked big time and I was playing last, ending around 5:30. I was loud and obnoxious
All in all, It was a pretty fun night.
Exciting times!
There’s a show coming up that I’m gonna be in.
Here’s the official blurb:
Forman’s Smokehouse Gallery presents Of this Event, I cannot foresee the end. – video art / video performance / installation
Private view: Thursday 1st March 6-9pm
Exhibition runs 2nd-30th March 2012, Thu-Fri 5-9pm, Sat-Sun 12-5pm
Stour Road, Hackney Wick, E3 2NT London, United Kingdom
The featured artists appropriate approaches from scientists in order to gain insights, accumulate data or choose their observational vantage point. By defining a framework wherein a staged experiment or action can take place, the artists test the boundaries of our earthly existence, everyday life, patterns of social behaviour and virtual reality. A distanced camera perspective witnesses and frames the performance – events with unknown outcome – wherein chance and failure play part. The video works go beyond documentation demanding independence from the prior event and share the element of suspense, surprise and humour.
Artists:
Memo Akten ● Sophie Clements ● Callum Cooper ● George Eksts ● Kris Emmerson ● Samuel Levack and Jennifer Lewandowski ● Santiago Ortega ● Clifford Sage ● David Sherry ● James Stringer ● Anais Tondeur ● Helen Turner ● Pablo Wendel ● der Warst (Simon Schäfer)

KNOWHOW – Curated by Ben Newton
To acquire knowhow is to gain the practical skills or intelligence necessary to get something specific done. This is tacit knowledge in the sense that it can be withheld and kept confidential. It may also be difficult to transfer without practical instruction and the required cognitive faculty in the beholder. In the artist this skill has traditionally revealed itself as craft.
Since the dawn of the Readymade, craft in Art has continually been brought into question, and as a result any preconception of a definitive Artistic Knowhow has been blurred or expanded to involve a myriad of scenarios or conditions.
Knowhow aims not necessarily to pin down a definition of the word but to ask the artists to delve into their own practice or maybe push themselves beyond their normal bounds of proficiency. This might manifest itself in a cathartic exploration of an unknown craft, an engagement with a ‚knowing‘ failure or even through the use of prosthetic labour which utilises the employment of non-artistic intervention.
KNOWHOW is a curatorial project by Ben Newton in collaboration with Campbell Works
