July 2026 update

 

I am currently one of the artists-in-residence at AiR Koganecho in Yokohama, Japan, where I will make a new project with donations of unwanted electrical consumer products for the Koganecho Bazaar exhibition in September 2026, and also begin new collaborations with Suzuki Elico, Minoru Sato and Takamitsu Ohta.

​

I am extremely honoured and grateful for support from Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and nominally with Koen from British Council Japan.

​

I hit the ground running with being given an exhibition space to also use as a studio, being able to collect a number of materials from last year's project for Chiba City Art Triennale and attending the exhibition opening of Suzuki-san. I have already received a couple of donations to make new 'Deconstructed' works, which you can see by clicking this link: Koganecho.

​

During the following two months, as well as making more of these works, I will develop new devices and ways in which I can perform and improvise more easily with my various collaborators.

​

Previous projects and activities in 2026 include:

​​

February was a busy month beginning with a further showing of "Made to Malfunction" (2018) as part of the Audioblast Festival in Nantes, France, plus a performance of new radio piece "Channelling Shortwave" using transmission recordings from my residency at GMEA, Albi, France in November 2025.

​

This was closely followed by a commission to make a new project for Konnekt in Geneva, Switzerland for their event "Broadcasting - Who's listening?". I took the Deconstructed Radio idea from Estonia last year further by dismantling and adapting a collection of analogue radios to resemble exploded diagrams that used to feature in instruction manuals.

​March - presenting Deconstructed Radios and also "Channelling Shortwave" at DIVFUSE, London, UK - a rare thing these days to work in UK...

​

April - a week long residency back at La Générale in Paris, France to initiate a collaboration with the amazing Marc Baron.

​

May - a residency at Interface Inagh in Ireland, where I will develop a new project called Channelling Location that pipes environmental sound through motor devices to create ephemeral interventions in a location, plus a concert in Dublin and later in Cork and Sligo alongside Phil Maguire.
