Sumu: Workshop and Mini-Show.

This Thursday (the 18th of December) at 16:00 Bob Levene and I are going to be showing some work in progress at Titanik, Turku where we have been in residence since the start of November . I will be showing some of the hundreds of drawings I have been doing and will be drawing some more during the afternoon. Please come along, I think we will have tea and cakes…


Speakers as Instruments Workshop edit from Pete McPartlan on Vimeo.
This video is an edit from a very fun workshop last weekend here in Turku that Bob and I ran. We made some very primative musical instruments from a bunch of old speakers, batteries and random bits of metal, liquids and stuff. There’s an article in Turun Sanomat, the local paper, if  you speak Finnish otherwise I highly recommend the google translation for its inclusion of the phrases: “Construction of musical teenagers is a snap” and “A pair of horses has worked with Arte Association’s fog-residency.” Thanks to Jenny for helping us organise it and all the students for the great dialogue and stunningly good work.

Sumu Residency

I am a week into a residency, shared with Bob Levene in Turku, Finland. The Sumu residency gives me a studio space, connected to Galleria Titanik, and accommodation for the November and December. I’ll be trying to post regular updates on my work here in Turku in the Work Blog section of this site.

Site alterations

The new site is still in progress a bit but it’s here. I finally switched over to wordpress and a bit of hacking around – hopefully all this means I’ll be a bit less lazy adding new stuff…
