✣✣ let them talk

pecha kucha #6:

what's one of those?

20x20:

twenty images, twenty seconds:

cities, towns, creatives, thinkers:

Southend's pecha took place in the former 

Clifftown Reformed Church 

~ now the East15 Acting School, Clifftown Studios:

local artist and recent graduate Amy Frampton

spent time, hours, days in a housing estate:

the Kursaal:

eight hours in the car park:

confinement, vulnerability:

cataloguing experience:

then creating an installation as part of her degree show:

two rooms, flat packed:

I particularly liked her photographic record

of her practice:

Laura Keeble leaves her pieces to their own devices:

shopping Magi in Bond Street:

idol worship in a local graveyard:

interest in how people interact and react with her work:

she can install chocolate crucifixes on my shelf

if she likes:

no supermarket required:

amusing and straight talking Daryl Easlea :

passionate published musicologist:

whose final words left us all a'sigh:

the house ~ digital poetry by Mary Flanagan:

an interactive screen applet:

she explores radical game design,

critical play where 

"the games that people play and how they play those games 

change in response to culture":

I love Heidi Wigmore's work:

she curated the excellent Cliffhanger in June:

{blogged here}

as well as her darkly feminine pieces:

she revealed past projects:

wanderlust:

and a sneak preview of the new:

spoonfuls of pagan imagery:

finally a nod to Ian Brownbill, Metal's director:

for filling in the gap between Southend & Liverpool:

a creative connection that has changed our town for the better:

and given me the opportunity to hear about so many

creative and innovative people:

 without having to travel very far:
