Blake and Ololon performance

On Monday 26th November 2012 Marco and I did a performance called 'Blake and Ololon', accompanied by our Blake and Ololon sound piece, (a shorter edit of which will be broadcast on Resonance FM on Friday 21st December).   The performance was part of the exhibition 'Illuminations', an exhibition of small illuminated works and performance inspired by William Blake and curated by Helen Elwes and Stephen Micalef, which took place in the Crypt of the Church of St George the Martyr (see previous posts for more details).

I am showing three drawings in the exhibition 'Illuminations', in the crypt of St George the Martyr Church, Borough.  The exhibition is curated by Helen Elwes and Stephen Micalef, who asked artists and poets to contribute drawings in response to William Blake's work, in the same size as Blake's book 'Milton'.  My drawings are inspired by the story of Ololon.

The exhibition is open on Monday 5th, 12th, 19th and 26th of November 2012 from 10am to 10pm.

There will be a closing party with performances on the 26th, from 6pm to 10pm, including a performance by Marco and me.

The exhibition is in 'The Dragon Cafe', in the Crypt of St George the Martyr Church, opposite Borough tube station.
