Then there was March - and International Women's Month - not that national women don't matter - it's not that sort of international. A program of events here:
http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=55076029893
Site of Anxiety was a weekend exploring the role of audience in relation to Nato Thompson's architype of the 'the interventionist'. The intimacy and vulnerability of the public sphere as an antidote to the virtual electronic conceit and a return towards social engagement with the audience. http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=49838367721&ref=mf
Here's a link to recent footage of events at Area10

Area10 is an artist led platform that encourages and supports artist led projects and groups to take creative risks without having to make massive financial comitments. Make art not debt. The warehouse we occupy as a charity is potent and provokes work of a monumental nature. Eagle Wharf housed a Timber Yard for the first 99 years of its life – Area10 was born from it’s ashes in 2002. We have had over 3500 artist practitioners work with us since then.
Searching for a physio-geographic source for artist led creative cultural activity - Area10 the project title comes from research by Dimitri Launder.
"...Area10 is part of the frontal cortex in the human brain. A site of synaptic collaboration, multi function and problem solving. This region of the brain supports cognitive branching and enables a previously running task to be maintained in a pending state for subsequent retrieval and execution upon completion of the ongoing one. Many of our complex creative
behaviors and mental activities require simultaneous engagement of multiple tasks, this perhaps is one of the gifts of the artist..."
