00:00I used to do that as well, but mostly just performance and writing, and then for a while
00:26I had a sabbatical, a kind of pharmacological sabbatical, and I won't, I'll leave it up
00:36to someone's imagination, and then came back about two years ago, and started working again.
00:42I did curation with Jamie, which I'm proud to be a part of, and then Donna Chacartier,
00:52who's a wonderful performer as well, who did a couple of shows with her, Idiot, which was
01:00commented by Idiot Text. I did the first ever performance of Beyer's text in Shoreditch
01:08in 1995. We also made, for part one, we made this 360 degree camera, because you can't
01:16possibly play part one, so it was a big, huge inspiration for part one, just in case we
01:21get killed with the camera on my head, so it's like surround sound, surround vision,
01:26for me. And then I did that again in Vienna, at Donna's, but a very, very low-tech version.
01:34I lived in the gallery for three days, kind of making a mess, and then performed the performance
01:40in the evenings with Thomas Grasham, who's a Viennese artist, filmmaker, who also is
01:46with Carpenters, in London.
01:49What would you describe your art as? Your video art as well?
01:53Video art, also drawing, collage, started when I was 20, I burned all my paintings,
01:58every drawing, every photo, whatever, and I've started drawing and painting again.
02:06At the moment, most of it that's finished is video works, it's four videos that I'll be
02:09showing there tomorrow, digital photography, text, visual curation projects, and corners.
02:20All right, here, the last performance here, something to look at, rather than just my
02:24ugly head, is a piece of work, which was a public tattoo actually, my first ever tattoo.
02:32Here we go, piece of work.
02:35And you see in English, do you understand the phrase in English?
02:38Piece of work means a piece of work, a piece of art, but it also means someone who's not
02:43very trustworthy, and then you can, then you can objectify to what you say a real piece
02:49of work, it's either a really good piece of work, or someone is a con man, really not
02:56very trustworthy, then you have a real fucking piece of work, it's someone who you'd never
03:01And this was at a show I organised at a tattoo shop in London recently, yeah, well I did
03:14this performance in Frankfurt recently called Limit-Limit War, which was a lecture action
03:22on the concept of limit, with, by ingesting helium and N2O, last gas, lac gas, you get
03:29strange consciousness, you go out, and I'll be doing that again in St Martins at some
03:35point soon, black box, I'll be showing in Vienna, Area 53, making work for that, kind
03:43of wall-based work primarily, which is a gallery in Lumpendorfer, and really I've just got
03:50into a studio, a new studio, and I've started, I've just finished five videos, and so now
03:57I'd really like to get off the computer for a while, so I've just started making a mess,
04:02and I'll start showing at a castle as well next year, that'll be a solo show, wall-based
04:07works, performance also, I'll be doing a big performance in Prince George's castle, and
04:12Nietzsche's castle next year, they've invited me to do a performance there, because next
04:16year they're taking a year off as it were, because they're just, you know, it's gone
04:20interstellar now, and it's just got crazy volume, so they're taking a year off, and
04:24they've invited me to go there and do a performance, which will be about, it's going to be great
04:28volume, it's a bit scary, well not scary because of Prince George, I go there and take part,
04:34and friends of theirs, but you know.
