Analogue

Analogue is a project created for Craftspace's Taking Time exhibition, starting a national tour in October / November 2009. It was completed and archive on the making a slow revolution project blog in March 2010.

In the run-up to the exhibition, I was commissioned to enact and encourage a series of live dialogues for online presentation which explored the themes and influences of the exhibition. Analogue did this by provoking, recording and publishing audio and written dialogue between crafts practitioners and professionals from other fields on the making a slow revolution blog.

By taking part in Analogue, practitioners also enact the principals under examination by the exhibition – negotiation, sociability, practiced time, trust.  The blog and publication become a focussed platform for gathering and transmitting the research from the dialogues and the real, lived experiences of practitioners.

Past event include dialogue groups held at the Swedenborg Society (February 2009), Southbank Centre (April 2009), Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery (November 2009) and studio1.1 gallery in London (February 2010) as well as numerous one to one dialogues with a Paleolithic geographer, meditation expert, choreographer, makers, historians and academics. Audio of these sessions has been edited for online publication.
