’ I have recently been looking at philosopher Federico Campagna, talking about the unfolding end of our world (current systems civilisation era epoch etc…) and how to help herald in a new world ... this resonated strongly with me. As well as 

Upstairs / downstairs

crumbling ... empires, grandeur, apple crumble ... !

Monstrous feminine, wildness (always wildness beneath veneer of civilisation)

 

I began some work with tables a while ago, four legged beasts, pregnant bellies. To be explored perhaps.

 

Thinking about turning the tables, a feast. eating, being eaten up, grotesque, beautiful, epic, mundane. Relevant, urgent, beautiful, rude, polite and impolite. Who cares, what matters, what is urgent, what is important. 

 

A residency at the end of the world.

It would be interesting to explore some of these ideas in conversation and relation with The Adelaide Salon. 

 

First thoughts to kick something off!’

 

During Isobel's residency we will organise a regular rhythm of happenings, workshops, talks and publications to share process and ideas as well as a final fabulous finnissage.
