Live at Biddle Brothers March 2015

Grand Openings, a collective that puts together amibiguous happenings and provocative events, asked me to shadow them and create short pieces based on field recordings for them every day during their residency at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.

Billed by Grand Openings and MoMA as my "Greatest Hits," I collaged, cued, and processed field recordings made at MoMA. Heeding some grumbling musicianly widsom bestowed by my father from years ago, "When I play 'em, they're all hits," I included some other hits big and small I've made over the years. In this continuous excerpt, there is no post-performance processing or editing.

This is a good example of what I sound like live these days.

AD Rose Finn-Kelcey The Restless Image: a discrepancy between the seen position & the felt position

Woven into the fabric of Bristol since 1961, Arnolfini is an international centre of interdisciplinary contemporary arts, presenting an ambitious, diverse programme of visual art, performance, dance, film, and music, designed to appeal to a broad audience.

Housed in a prominent Grade II listed, accessible building on the city’s harbourside, Arnolfini is a pioneering, inspiring public space for arts and learning, offering an innovative, inclusive, and engaging experience for all.

A world-renowned institution, throughout its history Arnolfini’s programme has welcomed artists from a wide variety of cultures and backgrounds, supporting and developing their work, investigating their influences and aspirations.

Arnolfini nurtures long-standing relationships with a wide range of community and creative partners, while continuing to explore and develop new opportunities across the city and beyond.

Through sharing a 60-year archive of exhibition slides, publications, and an extensive artist book collection Arnolfini celebrate the heritage and wide-reaching impact the organisation has had throughout its history.

Since 2019, Director Gary Topp and team have sought to honour Arnolfini’s founder Jeremy Rees’ principle to ‘Enjoy Yourself’; welcoming everyone into the space, and inviting engagement with the wide-ranging programme, in any number of ways.

Arnolfini is an independent charity (CIO) and part of the University of the West of England, Bristol, supported by Arts Council England and the Ashley Clinton Barker-Mills Trust.
