Touchy Feely

Is socially engaged and relational art too sentimental?

SARAH RODIGARI: Can provocation feel good or when I touch you here does it hurt?

The art of trying to please everybody

Soon after Pip and I held the Touchy Feely talks in Hobart I was asked by Next Wave Festival to write something about their keynote project, Wake up and wait for the sun to rise: 500 methods for a new beginning, which will be presented at this year’s festival. It’s worth posting a link to the piece here because my reflections on the project were influenced by our talks at Touchy Feely. My article appears on pages 56-7.

In a few weeks I’ll also be able to post an interview I did with Live Art List Australia about Touchy Feely.

Until then,

Amy.

Did you pop in looking for some documentation?

It will be here soon. We promise. Just as soon as we’ve had a kip and a cuppa and can make the technology behave itself.

There are photos, video and audio to be had.
