I am taking part in a new pilot project EkintzaLab that creates a platform for companies and artists to work together. I am going to work with Traducciones Continental – translation and interpretation company based in Bilbao, Spain.

The project looks into ways artists and the arts processes can encourage change, innovation and provide practical solutions for business environments.
With Traducciones Continental we will be exploring the effects of Internet and web-based translators on the translation services and exploring the way translation companies can coexist with the growing number of free translators on line.
As part of this project I will be working from Consonni offices in Bilbao. (Thank you Nerea and Marielle for a desk space and wifi!)
Make sure you pop in to Soho this weekend to see final works created by FrenchMottershead during their residency in the area. It is a short exhibition so make sure to get there this weekend!!!

London based artist duo FrenchMottershead present Over the Threshold, a series of photographs resulting from their 6 month residency in London’s Soho.
Over the Threshold provides a unique insight into the everyday lives and domestic spaces of those who call Soho home. Frequently overlooked as a residential area, Soho houses up to 5,000 people, many in social housing. During their residency, FrenchMottershead met people from all areas in Soho and witnessed the strong sense of community to be found there.
Working collaboratively with residents, FrenchMottershead photographed groups within their homes using movement, clothing and props to create eleven narrative works that recall classical tableaux. Each work visually portrays a theme such as the challenges of urban gardening, coping with the pressures of living in a small space, the ongoing battle to defend residents’ rights, as well as the joy of being able to walk everywhere and the evocative early-morning experience of hearing the Household Cavalry exercise their horses through the Soho streets…
A – Z Market project is going to culminate with a series of 1-2-1 guided tours of the Ridley Road Market in London on 20th an 21st May. The tours are free but have to be booked in advance. They last 15 min.
If you are in London and interested to gain a fresh insight into the market life, text 077 3150 9854 or e-mail me: [email protected]
