Thanks to everybody.<br /><br />Now we closed down for the winter. Hannah and Carole are writing a funding proposal for next year, but times are tough and although we are hopeful we know we may not be lucky. Back to grass roots.<br /><br />My own work has been quite lively. ive done two performances in the house and have another two to do before the end of the year. one with anna pukkhara in the Bridge hotel Newcastle, one in Cumbria with Di Clay and Map Live and have just been on a procession for Halloween Night with the wonderful mat Cowan in London.<br /><br />I might write during the winter. it depends on how I cope with builders in the house.<br /><br />Carolenurse lubyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559449477341280937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-7340735563684761512010-04-07T21:05:00.000+00:002010-04-07T21:05:38.245+00:0025SG garage bioart residency (9th-18th April)<a href="http://transitlab.org/2010/25sg-a-residency-9th-18th-april">25SG garage bioart residency (9th-18th April)</a>nurse lubyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559449477341280937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-18051549768881178162009-09-01T16:05:00.004+00:002009-09-01T17:05:01.256+00:00saltburn performanceSally Madge and myself made <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#3366FF;">Labour Intensive</span> at Saltburn Artists Project. <div>We collected loads of blackberries and soured off milk filling many differing sized metal containers with them.</div><div>We poured these substances through large muslin bags suspended from the ceiling and covered ourselves with red and yellow liquids.</div><div>In the next room we invited an audience to share tea and scones filled with cream and blackberry jam with us.<br /><div><br /></div></div>nurse lubyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559449477341280937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-11930809726599045092009-09-01T16:01:00.007+00:002009-09-01T17:05:34.277+00:00Woodbine allotment residency<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF9900;">Since May 2009 there have been the following artists in the allotment studio:</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF9900;">Rachel Maloney, Miki Z, Carole Luby and Nicola Singh. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#FF9900;">I invite all of them to add their photographs and text to this blog.</span></div>nurse lubyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07559449477341280937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-81568107457541800292009-05-12T07:25:00.007+00:002009-09-01T15:57:49.245+00:00Woodbine allotment residency<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">May 2009</span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#999900;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">finished making the studio in a shed down on 1 Woodbine Allotment.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(153, 153, 0);">iris priest is the first artist working down there;drawing on the wall, inviting the outside (fantasy and real) into the inside.

K.Penrice<br /></span></div><p class="flickr-yourcomment">Katherine Penrice made bread in the kitchen at 25 Stratford Grove on Saturday 28th june for a small group of people. it was a beautiful day, Kate like a matriarch shaking flour, mixing yeast, sifting flour, smoothing and shaping bread, to set to rise and ultimately to place in the oven. We feasted on the crusty warm bread, with homemade jam. It was so delicious and everybody felt very nourished by the performance.<br />Upstairs in the attic, there were three small installations. Powerful and in contrast to what was going on downstairs, terrifying, full of sadness and loss.<br />Thank you Kate.</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">From a member of the audience:</p><p class="flickr-yourcomment">'I think of the starkness and sense of death and loss upstairs (an installation) was intensified by the warm homely cosiness of downstairs. The breadmaking inspired feelings of love, nurturing, mothering, comforting, security, pleasure, wholesomeness and then to go up into the emptiness, silence with the hanging shoes just felt like a sudden encounter with death. That contrast of the life-affirming kitchen and the harshness of death. it took me so much by surprise and the impact of it stayed with me for quite a few days.'</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-12263928869630432622008-08-20T17:31:00.001+00:002009-07-27T16:55:35.606+00:00kneading pain<style type="text/css">.flickr-photo { border: solid 2px #000000; }.flickr-yourcomment { }.flickr-frame { text-align: left; padding: 3px; }.flickr-caption { font-size: 0.8em; margin-top: 0px; }</style><div class="flickr-frame"> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nurse_luby/2964626635/" title="photo sharing"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3253/2964626635_c12c513257.jpg" class="flickr-photo" alt="" /></a><br /><span class="flickr-caption"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/nurse_luby/2964626635/">kneading pain </a>, originally uploaded by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/people/nurse_luby/">nurseluby</a>.</span></div> <p class="flickr-yourcomment"> Kate Penrice may have made bread for the last time today!</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-69128078435693051312008-06-15T16:24:00.003+00:002009-07-27T16:50:28.870+00:0025 stratford groveAll of the Galata Istanbul Newcastle group met to talk about how to proceed with the Open Day for 21st june.<br />We have decided to go for a turkish theme.(?) and eat turkish bread and cake.<br />i will be very happy.<br />See everybody there,Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-67656801269095718482008-04-15T09:25:00.003+00:002009-09-01T16:31:53.509+00:00galataperform exchangeWe made the trip and loved it. our hosts were very welcoming and helpful. We feel we have made lifelong friends with them.<br />All our performances were successful on their own terms. sally and Ilana worked outside in the local Galata environment, Paul David and I made work inside. David's cans of black paint had exploded in his suitcase, probably on the flight over. He turned what could have been a disaster into something very amazing.<br />We also did our collaborative piece at the end of our day to an audience of around 50 people. Although it was tough, as we had not done anything like that to an audience before, we got some very positive feedback.<br />Now it is down to finishing up the budget and evaluation and have an open day on the 21st June at 25 stratford grove to show our documentation of the festival and discuss ideas of how to take the project forward<br />We hope the Galata group will come to newcastle to perform.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-63786166404201672512008-03-21T11:49:00.004+00:002009-09-01T16:32:46.364+00:00galataperform exchangeready to go. nearly ready to go.

I love being in a space with no idea of what im going to do. Creativity is something that you cant stop once it is unleashed. At the end we looked at how we had changed the room and how we ourselves had changed.<br /><br />Magic.<br /><br />We are meeting up this Sunday for food and catch up before we leave for istanbul. Sadly Sally wont be with us.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-70200613786910824682008-03-17T18:24:00.002+00:002009-09-01T14:43:53.462+00:00galataperform exchange<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWcb_FD9BvoihylIMY9lqPoIKv5ASBODgMNQPKi5_ahety-6jUUgzu6KypzWsRHXCdqVaLDWDV7c-kddimAUCbN-P1ejxTqwsG8TKyYA2JZB440hzHzgBEEH4Qtz4jiijXE7-X/s1600-h/stratford+grove25+041.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjWcb_FD9BvoihylIMY9lqPoIKv5ASBODgMNQPKi5_ahety-6jUUgzu6KypzWsRHXCdqVaLDWDV7c-kddimAUCbN-P1ejxTqwsG8TKyYA2JZB440hzHzgBEEH4Qtz4jiijXE7-X/s400/stratford+grove25+041.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178779381685625842" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmm42aQk59zPd3vWaW2-SFgM_w4tgFxxvJklX1f_kOsECdIbiMTv9Ew1Ev0R_iaql8LCuS-Rx-GGj6LZVcPiXeYuyh0DqdLnx3jG7jr0EhrcIbVLJmDANU6y7YO8PqVTfBSqgB/s1600-h/stratford+grove25+045.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmm42aQk59zPd3vWaW2-SFgM_w4tgFxxvJklX1f_kOsECdIbiMTv9Ew1Ev0R_iaql8LCuS-Rx-GGj6LZVcPiXeYuyh0DqdLnx3jG7jr0EhrcIbVLJmDANU6y7YO8PqVTfBSqgB/s400/stratford+grove25+045.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178779385980593154" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kPsK3PebpQpYBewhRQI7KFEHFKdkx4kZaEtKOdPSsEekf9uJO0wGT9-9vplCYESez1o1wCmh3UMAg5OakPKhLsjqBeG8swkFf9ire0Le0BE8WQ8c1aqcFVsMQ7Nibs3r9nw7/s1600-h/stratford+grove25+048.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7kPsK3PebpQpYBewhRQI7KFEHFKdkx4kZaEtKOdPSsEekf9uJO0wGT9-9vplCYESez1o1wCmh3UMAg5OakPKhLsjqBeG8swkFf9ire0Le0BE8WQ8c1aqcFVsMQ7Nibs3r9nw7/s400/stratford+grove25+048.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178779390275560466" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9V6nd0dWg0WplNAHOeIMr_QakZNeSnuqZXOWIXVnXXwzli6K3bJHrd6Iwn79N0U8-zFgFFrjB11H0TqRNw5oCejOsvcvFvxcYm038jLEqR5Y6jZDA1Q5gxQGnSpDpxNEDy_k/s1600-h/stratford+grove25+050.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis9V6nd0dWg0WplNAHOeIMr_QakZNeSnuqZXOWIXVnXXwzli6K3bJHrd6Iwn79N0U8-zFgFFrjB11H0TqRNw5oCejOsvcvFvxcYm038jLEqR5Y6jZDA1Q5gxQGnSpDpxNEDy_k/s400/stratford+grove25+050.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178779398865495074" border="0" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZyKwFCjkvnTwy5xkrpZZH8w1OOvKhvhz69RB6hz9YTvAREqN-RPIq0fsddmntH-2ob4UZhQCTV66IjthCQgv96JGaaWIDWKjAg2cnldKjFQhmfTsvbL84OA4yz7aH0iDmhA8T/s1600-h/stratford+grove25+052.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZyKwFCjkvnTwy5xkrpZZH8w1OOvKhvhz69RB6hz9YTvAREqN-RPIq0fsddmntH-2ob4UZhQCTV66IjthCQgv96JGaaWIDWKjAg2cnldKjFQhmfTsvbL84OA4yz7aH0iDmhA8T/s400/stratford+grove25+052.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178779407455429682" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-83802863205001012862008-03-12T17:37:00.001+00:002009-09-01T14:43:53.462+00:00Galataperform exchangeDavid, Sally and I met at the Star and Shadow to make something with only ourselves. This time no props.<br />We used the cinema space. There were cinematic memories and traces.<br />Id had such a bad week that it was good to get into my body and feel it in the space. There were some fun moments during the time we moved around each other, silently.<br />It was hard not to use props. I couldnt resist david's shoes.<br /><br />I heard from a performance artist who did his phd in Newcastle and lives in Istanbul. We will meet him during the festival there.<br /><br />He wants to know if he can make some work over here so I will post him our details at 25 Stratford Grove.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-54207702092263248652008-03-09T17:39:00.000+00:002009-09-01T14:43:53.462+00:00Galataperform exchangeWe had our fourth meeting at 25 Stratford Grove yesterday. We each brought objects and created relationships between them and ourselves for a couple of hours to get into collaboration mode.<br />Its always lovely to share food together, yesterday we ate turkish bread, humus and olives, home made Jerusalem artichoke and carrot soup and manchega cheese followed by fruit salad.<br />We talked about how excited we were to be going to istanbul. There is a lot of goodwill and support in the group. I feel happy to be with these artists.<br /><br />I asked Dan, Paul's partner to take some photographs of us in the house. Its a good idea to take these a documentation slide show to Istanbul to show the artists there.We had our fourth meeting at 25 Stratford Grove yesterday.

Each artist will bring a prop and we will start making connections and relations between objects, each other within the space.<br /><br />My proposal for funding included this passage:<br /><br />'my living body has a menacing and delirious concreteness. I use it to serve as a complex and fascinating object of study in relation to space.<br />Sometimes I use it to focus on extraordinary forms of embodiment such as investigating it as an ageing artefact. or I might use it to show states of obscenity or rudeness.<br />It can be a receptable for huge amounts of energy. let that energy loose!..............'<br /><br />Im looking forward to making work together and to putting a really good show up for Istanbul.<br />Now that I am in receipt of the flight tickets it feels real.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33476628.post-23751288779812726902008-02-17T17:29:00.005+00:002009-09-01T14:43:53.463+00:00Galata exchange meetingMeeting up at the house with artists david foggo, ilana mitchell, ginny reed, paul grimmer and sally madge.<br />We are making connections through dialog, feating and drinking.
