Someone else can clean up this mess:
Annabel Nicolson & Lucy Reynolds

16 March 2014 4–6pm

Lucy Reynolds has long been enchanted by the 'fugitive pull' of Annabel Nicolson's work, writing and discussing Nicolson's work in a number of different contexts. Most recently the two worked together as part of Anthology, a collaborative project at Camden Arts Centre (2013). Lucy will present films and a collective reading, born out of their ongoing exchanges over the past decade.

SOMEONE ELSE CAN CLEAN UP THIS MESS

This series of events at Flat Time House is part of a research project with Electra into the work of the women active in 60s and 70s London. Rather than a direct historical enquiry, each Saturday event explores collaborative relationships between artists of this and younger generations, through performance and discussion.
