Making / installing my solo exhibition The Public Dream at The Art House UK. Drawing on the gallery's history as a Carnegie Library, the exhibition considers the ghost of materiality as a form of science fiction. Opens this Friday. All welcome.
the-arthouse.org.uk/exhibitions/...
A view from behind a wall of a dimly lit gallery, a white ziggarat at the end of the room. A view of a wall drawing in progress. A stepladder and a chair is in front of the wall. The drawing is hard to make out in the dim light. A long shot of a gallery showing two wheeled walls set aslant with a gap between them. One wall seems to have been drawn on in watery blues and greens. A stepladder sits under a spotlight. An oval, abstract video projection of turquoises and greys glows against a darkened wall.

Possibly the best small press fair promo statement ever:
dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social Dublin Small Press Fair @dublinsmpressfair.bsky.social · Oct 21
our small press fair brings all the depictions of Englishmen by 19th-century Japanese printmakers to the yard. and they're like, wow, I really enjoy browsing books from a range of very small, small, independent, underground, and other presses based on the island of Ireland and from abroad.
two men sit at a breakfast table in a 19th-century print by Utagawa Yoshitora (Metropolitan Museum's Open Access collection). One is reading a book. Speech balloons have been applied. One says, "I got this book at the first annual DUBLIN SMALL PRESS FAIR. November 28 + 29, 2025. Pearse St Library. free + open to all." The other says, "how delightful. I shall attend". At the lower edge is information about the event's sponsors—Dublin City Council, Dublin UNSECO City of Literature, Poetry Ireland, Publishing Ireland, and Skein Press. The URL (dublinsmallpressfair.com) appears at the right edge.
