We are very much looking forward to returning to the market as we had such good fun there with our apothecary installation. The space will be transformed again - this time from an empty market stall into a gallery style white cube, by art in unusual spaces as part of the dark matter institute.</div>

We are very proud to have Sophie Powell aka lofieye as documenting photographer and some of her work will be exhibited in the cube. There will also be recorded cassette tapes for audience and visitors to listen to and experiment with. </div>

We were inspired by the theme of healing potions when we visited the market last year and learned that it was once famous for selling patent cures! </div><br></div>It was really great to make friends with some of the market folk today and we are really looking forward to collecting the folk remedies of all the people of Bradford. We will have 3 versions of this collection by the end of this project; a book of cures, a sound installation and a dance! More news to follow soon! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqw83oUN3y9Zo2c9-sVT-dHjUlthU0wKMmAGKyLvcCt98KsYdy3e0Ym1_FLafYTBwN-_MLc3ePBza1Hy5GG9mQMozvF_kgn_pi9OfVdax9xktnFrV49SEj2Rx3SRxptsCnIWE7ia552Ln8/s640/blogger-image-1435985827.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqw83oUN3y9Zo2c9-sVT-dHjUlthU0wKMmAGKyLvcCt98KsYdy3e0Ym1_FLafYTBwN-_MLc3ePBza1Hy5GG9mQMozvF_kgn_pi9OfVdax9xktnFrV49SEj2Rx3SRxptsCnIWE7ia552Ln8/s640/blogger-image-1435985827.jpg"></a></div><br></div>Mahohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02773517795768326760noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266680101953266509.post-48328624340379771662013-12-12T19:02:00.001+00:002014-05-27T18:28:46.305+01:00Maho visits Roubaix!<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTgDzDV6p7O6xhwaeHedaUq_xFsd3E1mYJ7I4Afx_bfcaa1pg_M_8BMlsoCZZfXoFCT8a-3EOrZZxEaORqCk25AX1Unp44wPjXSXNZkl-BQuS7KU6x0H72TjggWXrSdcAXPTzFL4WIe8X4/s640/blogger-image-960170997.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><font color="#000000"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTgDzDV6p7O6xhwaeHedaUq_xFsd3E1mYJ7I4Afx_bfcaa1pg_M_8BMlsoCZZfXoFCT8a-3EOrZZxEaORqCk25AX1Unp44wPjXSXNZkl-BQuS7KU6x0H72TjggWXrSdcAXPTzFL4WIe8X4/s640/blogger-image-960170997.jpg"></font></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><br></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; "><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Us, Olivier and the chimney of the non-place Roubaix.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In true 'Never any rush' fashion, we talked about being a dance company for a long time but have now actually begun to use our bodies as well as our mouths! We have been having gentle introductions with our lovely Bradford based arty friends. Last week Yvonne Carmichael made us look like ladies and filmed our hands and feet with delicious results. You can see them at her exhibition Fri 28th June - Thurs 4th July 11-6 (except Sunday). If you like you can have a look here <a href="http://www.yvonnecarmichael.com/index.php?/project/retail-aesthetics-ladies-of-leisure/">www.yvonnecarmichael.com</a> at a previous retail aesthetics project we helped her with. She is ace and clever and we look funny.</span></div>
<div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">There was also a great gig this week with the super Suzy Russell, Lorna de Lorna and friends. As part of the Bradford Festival we interfered with the routine of Bradford's commuters by laying a lawn in the middle of the bus station and wrestling on it, amongst other things. We were beautifully accompanied by the best of Bradford-based improvising string musicians, via Sheffield, Seth Bennett on double bass, via Hull, Abi Vulliamy on viola, and via New York, Seth Woods on cello.</span><br />
