Lost in Walsall

On Tuesday 25th May I found myself in Walsall for the second time ever to help out with an a.a.s Group project. In keeping with how I’ve worked with them previously, I didn’t really know all that much about the project until I got there.

Upon arrival at the New Art Gallery Walsall I met with artist Bobi Robson, where we were given £10 each and the task to go around charity shops looking for clothes that an alien might wear if they were trying (and failing) to fit in.

It’s amazing how hard it is to dress in clothes that don’t really go well together.

We then had to explore Walsall, though for me the feeling of being lost was completely genuine

I know this is all vague, but that’s how I like it! More about what happens in the project… as it happens.

Shoreditch Town Hall – Performance space

The Insectoid performance went great! At times is was a stressful day but it came together in the end! This is the space we performed in alongside Tai Shani, who were with the band Guapo. There’ll be audio and visuals from the event once it’s all processed!

Mingling and Mistletoe

a.a.s did a performance at the Crowd6 event Mingling and Mistletoe on Saturday evening. It involved us dancing around a Christmas tree whilst vaguely chanting the theme from a popular product and then spewing our guts all over the tree. We then crawled back to our cave whilst blood dripped from our guts creating a pool of festive gore for onlookers to gaze at. Wonderful!

Here’s a video of the performance courtesy of Ana Artstalking (who’s review you can read here). Enjoy!
