I would be delighted if you could join me for the opening this evening 6-11pm where my work is being shown by my gallery, Galleria Uno + Uno, Milan, at:

Berlin Liste 2011, Fair for Contemporary Art and Photography
TRAFO, Köpenicker Straße 70
10179 Berlin
8 – 11 September 2011
www.berliner-liste.org

I am also delighted to announce the launch of the publication and exhibition ’Invisible Twinning’ at Haus der Kulturen der Welt, created during a year long project I developed in Berlin with artist Guilia Giannola and curator Francesca Mila Nemni, which was commissioned for Meridian Urban by Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin. The publication was designed by Anja Lutz and is published by Greenbox, Berlin:

‘Invisible Twinning’
Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin
September 6 – 17 2011

Referring to the unofficial twinnings that reflect Berlin’s current immigrant population instead of the official equivalents of the city, the project explores the city’s long tradition of urban horticulture and reveals ideas of health in the widest sense: as balance and imbalance as well as on a societal and personal level, looking at how people navigate and share resources within a city.

Please join me for an epic ‘Sensory Banquet’ at the foot of the white cliffs at Samphire Hoe, Dover, on Sunday 28 August.

I was commissioned as Artist in Residence at Samphire Hoe by Kent Cultural Baton/Eurotunnel/White Cliffs Countryside Partnership. Throughout August I have been working at Samphire Hoe, officially the ‘newest’ land in Kent, which was created out of the 4.9 million cubic metres of chalk marl dug to create the Channel Tunnel. Covering a 30 hectare site that nestles at the foot of the white cliffs of Dover, Samphire Hoe provides a haven for people and wildlife.

I am now developing a sensory map and resource which will be available to visitors to Samphire Hoe and online later in September.

August – onwards 2011

I will be hosting a ‘Sensory Banquet’ at the foot of the white cliffs at Samphire Hoe from 4-5.30pm on Sunday 28 August, when visitors will be able to taste edible plants and herbs grown at the site as well as locally made produce, drawing with sea spray, sampling scents associated with produce from the past and industries of the area as well as touching 3D photographs.
