Hope you can make it along to my forthcoming exhibition

Conversation Drawings

a drawing and painting installation that is inspired by interactions carried out during my recent artist residency at The Butterworth Centre, a continuing care home in St. John's Wood, a Westminster Arts project.
The exhibition is part of Alternative Arts' Wise Words festival for Women's History Month.

Come and enjoy a delicious buffet at the opening on Tuesday March 6th, from 6.30 to 9.30pm.

The show then continues until April 2nd. Opening hours:
Mon. - Fri. 9.30am - 10.30pm
Sat. and Sun. 8.30am - 10.30pm

Address: Trattoria Sapori Restaurant, 44 Newington Green, London N16 9QH
Nearest station Canonbury.


During my residency I developed a style of bright colours and bold shapes while working with the residents, engaging in artistic interventions and collaborations with them and documenting our conversations. This exhibition is a series of works inspired by the new style that I developed and the conversations that I had, as well as events from my everyday life during that time.






"Art at the Trattoria" is a new monthly venue hosting art exhibitions. These are curated by Katja Heber and Paola Vernizzi in turns. Our goal is, apart from providing a place for people to meet and/or discuss art in a welcoming, friendly and fun environment, to provide emerging and established artists with exhibition space and the opportunity to promote and sell their work. The Trattoria Sapori is apart from being an excellent Pizzeria and Italian restaurant a stylish and very cosy venue with some fantastic wall space to display art on.
Should you be an artist and interested in exhibition space, don't hesitate to contact us.

Hello!

I am pleased to announce that Vox Wonder, Voice Activated Drawing Machine will be appearing at three different venues in the coming weeks...

The first tonight (Sunday 20th November) at The Others Bar in Stoke Newington:

Music! Comedy! Anti-Folk! Live Physics! Fanzines! Cake!

London anti-folk musician Depresstival presents a new monthly night of music, comedy, live physics and cake et all...She has many bizarre and talented friends. Come and see the best of London's alternative and disenfranchised performers. When prompted, they had this to say:

"Everything is dead. However, the thing that’s most dead of all is Genre.
...
Come to the wake of unpopular dusty old Uncle Genre - the dirty letch who wanted to sell you to the circus when you were 7 and had just learnt to play the double bass.

Come celebrate the Death of The Narrator by telling defamatory stories about him, while having a look at some humans who will perform actions that include music, words and movements in space.

If you need definitions of what it will be like, go to the nearest dictionary and stick a pin in it. Good luck."

Organiser Kate Wiggs writes:

Poetry, music, spoken word, performances both on and off stage and lots of other treasures that somehow evade categorisation.

Delights include action painting by Grimes&Jones, a Voice Activated Drawing Machine, glockenspiels, life drawing with a real mermaid and poetry previously performed at the crucible of Dada, the Cabaret Voltaire, courtesy of Frog Morris.

Don't miss my performance at The Montague Arms this Saturday - 29th October 2011. More details below and at www.frogmorris.net

THE SINGING GHOST
On Saturday 17th September police were called when residents of Nunhead reported seeing a terrifying apparition of a grieving bride roaming the nearby Green. We've booked her.

PAUL WADY
Roaming the bar as Edgar Allen Poe

GHOST WALK - IN 666 DIMENSIONS
A multi sensory tour of the horrors of New Cross Gate. Experience the erie all night off licence, the kebab shop of sin, the mysterious cash point, the terrifying Polish Shop and the abominable housing estate!

GHASTLY DISCO 'TIL THE WITCHING HOUR
Monster Mash-up 'til late

The evening is set in the Montague Arms, a strange old south London boozer stuffed full of stuffed animals, skeletons, coffins, pirate treasures and other freakish items collected over its long history. This pub has long been an uncanny curiosity of South London that can wow audiences before the live entertainment even begins. There is no more befitting venue for a Halloween Night Party.
