Tempting Failure returns for 2018

Tempting Failure is back in a bigger, riskier, way-more-exciting biennial format.

For 2018 we are heading to Croydon for 2 weeks packed full of durational/extreme/bloody/beautiful/intimate/fun/queer/noisy/feminist performance art.

We’ve just gone live with ticket sales, so here over to the Tempting Failure site to see the full programme.

New site design My portfolio on here was in desperate need of updating and editing, so I took the opportunity to redesign the whole site. The brand new look comes with brand new galleries - including documentation of my last work, Fragment, at UNFIX ReBirth! in Glasgow.

A look inside Europe's largest Blood factory.

THE JOURNEY

Above the mountains the geese turn into the light again

Painting their black silhouettes on an open sky.

Sometimes everything has to be inscribed across the heavens

so you can find the one line already written inside you.

Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that

first, bright and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart.

Sometimes with the bones of the black sticks left when the fire has gone out

someone has written something new in the ashes of your life.

You are not leaving. Even as the light fades quickly now, you are arriving.

- David Whyte

Life on fire

"In order to completely change your life, to leave the person you love and set out anew, you have to basically take a portion of your life and set it on fire. You have to metaphorically burn it down to prevent yourself from going back. Some people may be well-versed in the art of breaking up with a long-term partner and still staying friends, but I think only 10% of the population can pull that shit off. The rest of us light a match, throw it, and run. Burning down your life sucks because you’re surrounded by ash and rubble and you’re also on fire. Because, you see, in burning down your old relationship, your old life, you’re really burning down yourself. You’re the one who’s on fire"
