| For birdbrain, I worked with four performers on bird mimicry - Vanessa Chapple (AU), Kate Hunter (AU), Penny Baron (AU) and Melissa Alley (UK). I invited artists and writers to contribute small texts to the installation detailing their experiences of ravens, crows and seagulls - Jessica Ullrich (Germany), Geraldine Barlow (AU), Clare Halstead (UK), Andrew Whitehouse (UK), Rene ten Bos (Holland), Giovanni Aloi (UK), Steve Baker (UK), Michele Faguet (Germany), Cathy Lane (UK) and Robin Tassie (UK). These texts were presented as audio works by five readers - Kate Hunter, Penny Baron, Yifang Lu, Mateja Simenko and myself. | ||||||||||
