WRITING
The exhibition was part of a project ‘Can we talk about the weather?’ that framed role as Satellites Associate Producer at Collective (2019-21). The project asked what might happen if the City Observatory, the gallery’s home, was reconfigured as a weather observatory.
Other activities as part of this included:
- Reading Winds: lecture performance
- You are the season, the minute, the hour: Screening and reading event
- Four Part Writing Series: Documenting participating in open-weather. The Outset; Plugging in; Static as Thought; Becoming Creaturely
Additionally:
- Rain or such and such sense impressions: video performance as part of MAP Magazine X Glasgow Film Festival, at CCA Glasgow, 2020
Over this time I also wrote texts about the work of the Satellites Programme cohort including Kirsty Hendry, Becky Šik, Holly McLean and Sulaïman Majali.
Building on two years of archival, performative and collaborative research ditto, ditto, ditto included a riso-printed poster with new writing, sound made in collaboration with Joe Howe, moving image built from DIY weather satellite images gathered through processes learnt from open-weather (Sophie Dyer and Sasha Engelmann), alongside drawn and sculptural elements.
The exhibition unveiled implicit authorities in anecdotal diaristic notations of weather, offering a point of stark contrast between this historic sense of stability and the faltering rhythms of climate breakdown that form a backdrop to the project.
