3:00 pm, Sunday 7th June
JHB Building at Brookes University, Oxford.
A short performance/ reading,
part of a one-day Conference organised by CARU (Contemporary Arts Research Unit)
[see details below]
CITY AM: VOICES OF PROSPERITY
I will read a short selection from articles and opinions which have been published in the past few years, in print and online, in CITY AM, a free daily paper which is aimed at the workforce of the financial sector in the City of London.
I don’t claim these are representative of an average of what is published in CITY AM, which seems largely made of a daily diet of slightly tweaked ‘copy and paste’ material from news agencies. I have chosen these pieces for their ideological directness, for the fact they aim to convey a specific world view.
I want to voice these pieces, these disposable, ephemeral strings of sentences, to hear them, after they have been scrolled out of existence or become recycled paper, and before their next incarnation surfaces; I want to hear what it might be like if they become embodied, moving actual air and eardrums.
