ABC

Some of my work has burst out there today. Looking at this list no wonder I'm knackered...

* The press announcement about the show I'm curating at MU has gone out into the ether! It opens April 8 The New Psychadelica (Sample image above by Yoshi Sodeoka).

* I curated an art alphabet for AnOther magazine's 10th anniversary issue - I'm really proud we've got letters from Paul Noble, John Baldessari, Susan Hiller, Tal R, Marnie Weber etc. It's the biggest art project the magazine has ever done.

* Read some of my interview with Hedi Slimane here (another version is in the May issue of Dazed alongside a piece on Mike Nelson).

* I'm sitting on a panel you can buy tickets for about fashion and film for the Birds Eye Film Festival on March 9 at 6pm at the NFT1 (giving an art perspective).

* Dazed Live festival tickets go on sale (i'm curating the exhibitions in the show).

Blue

I'm missing these exhibitions opening internationally in Feb... Feeling blue.

One Question Interview

Rafael Rozendaal included me in his project One Question Interview.
I met Rafael in Tokyo last January and we went for dinner in a crazy high rise restaurant in Shinjuku with a bunch of people including a Flash evangelist (someone's actual job title...)

I'm in some rather lovely company in the project - Cory Arcangel (who's Barbican Curve show opens Feb 9), Oliver Laric, and Aids-3D.

Mini Creative Space

A new mini edition of my last book Creative Space is out now. It is exceptionally cute and perfect for public transport perusal.

Nate Boyce

Popped into a group show at Vilma Gold 'Extension' and saw Nate Boyce's work for the first time. Amazing videos that I cant recommend enough. You can watch an early one (not in the show) here. The still above are all from his videos. Interview below.
