Nice excuse yesterday to catch the closing of Ilana Halperin and think through her practice since 'Boiling Milk Solfataras' (1999) 🌋🥛Leeds Arts Uni.

Don't miss next week's talk by Rosie O'Grady discussing Glasgow's #spookschool, the #winchestermysteryhouse and how the work of women designers and architects in the early twentieth century has been circumscribed to the realms of horror: bit.ly/2lSBuW8 #mackintosh

So handsome and nonchalant. Big dimples, lips and teeth. All hail the king. 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘮𝘪𝘴𝘴 𝘮𝘦 - #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady

Tonight you stand with legs planted in leather boots, knees buckled, hips pitched forward. Tonight the ballad is a lilting waltz. Upturned collar, you pout and they clamour for more. #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady

Tonight you perform to stadium, auditorium, arena, theatre hall. 𝘋𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘦 𝘢𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 – same hits each night and sometimes the lyrics are a bore. You switch them, according to the audience, your mood, a feeling in the air. #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady

Tonight Las Vegas is restless and sweating. Their shoulders jostle at the flare of your ankle. You have their attention, but you are distracted. Someone in the crowd is – 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘥 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘳? #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady

Did you – ? Rhinestones on denim shimmer with your laughter. 𝘐𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 – singing behind you, Cissy keeps to metronome rhythm. An echo without origin. 𝘖𝘩 𝘭𝘰𝘳𝘥. Hits soprano. You can hardly hold it. #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady

𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘯𝘢 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢 𝘩𝘢 – and she carries you to the spoken bridge. You rise. 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘭𝘥’𝘴 𝘢 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘨𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘦𝘢𝘤𝘩 𝘮𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘱𝘭𝘢𝘺 𝘢 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵 – but you are done for. 𝘖𝘩 𝘎𝘰𝘥, 𝘰𝘩 𝘮𝘢𝘯 𝘐 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘢. #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady

𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥 𝘯𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘪𝘦 𝘵𝘳𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 – she has drifted, the performance falling apart. 𝘚𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘐 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯? Forget Cissy, the audience ripples with laughter. #ccaintroducing Rosie O'Grady
