It’s been so long since I posted news on what’s been happening but time escaped me as I rushed from project to project and then caught up on sleep. The events of the past year have really challenged me in many ways and I’m thankful. Geff’s empty space still flickers with a peaceful energy. Life continues to deliver surprises and makes me feel that as I grow I begin to question more, rather than less. Knowledge and experience seem to create a need for more of the same which is both a joy and a curse. Life is sweet and I feel like I could burst with the utter ecstacy of it at times.
January and February were taken up with preparations for our CARTER TUTTI concert for M.O.C.A in Los Angeles. The concert was wonderful, so many thanks to everyone who was present and shared such a special time with us. I’m excitedly working on a show for the Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven which will open on May 7th. Collating all the material is intense but I’m relishing it.
After this I’ll be presenting (for one night only) ‘Selflessness 2’ at TRACE Gallery in Cardiff which will be the first time any of these series of art actions has been seen.
I’m rubbing my hands with glee at the thought of beginning a new CARTER TUTTI album in the summer. More diary news after this I suspect. But don’t hold me to it.
All details on projects mentioned can be found on the news page.

Fulfilling yet frustrating...
So far this year has already been very fulfilling (and sometimes frustrating) in so many ways. New sound equipment purchases have triggered new ideas for fothcoming releases and I’m continuing work on my ‘Selflessness’ action project which will be completed this year. Many more thrilling things in the pipeline but I’ll reveal more about those later.

A significant year...
At last there's time to sit and catch up with myself. I can't remember all that happened in 2002 but I must say I really enjoyed the rest that Xmas gave us.
Last year was significant for me in many ways not least for the fact that it saw my return to art actions. Sometimes things just fall into place and you don't even notice. That's what happened with and what was so wonderful about my two art actions at Disneyland and Beachy Head. I've been working on their documentation and will continue with two further actions in 2003 that will complete my 'Selflessness' project.
The TG24 project dominated much of last year but the end result has been more than worth the work and time it demanded. It's also been a strange year as far as looking back like this is concerned but TG being so long ago meant I found I had a refreshingly different perception of it all.
Chris and I had a really great time playing our concert in Antwerp in November. It was one of those moments when time seems to just fly past because you are so engrossed in the act of creating. It felt so right and flowed so well that when it ended it I felt I'd been awoken from a dream. And now I'm itching to get in the studio again and work on a new CTI album, my new EAR 4 CD, collaborations and video. Oh yes, compiling our Antwerp video really got us both excited about working with visuals again so expect to see some new material in 2003.
More later...

Selflessness...
Our wonderful holiday in Los Angeles was a welcome break after a busy start to 2002 and also as a re-energiser prior to beginning our next projects. The first of the 'SELFLESSNESS' live art actions took place in Disneyland on the 2nd May with the assistance of Chris Carter, Skot Armstrong and Russell Dorward. I have been working on the documentation and presentation in between all else that I have in progress.
The second 'SELFLESSNESS' live art action took place on Beachy Head at approximately 6am on the 12th July. Only myself and Chris were present for this funerary art action, in the stillness and tranquility that only dawn brings. This special action was well documented.
Thankfully the TG/Industrial re launch releases are nearing completion, we can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel now.
I'm also currently working on an ongoing and very enjoyable collaboration with Chris Carter of a photographic work in progress. So far we have given it the working title of 'Room Service'.
The representation of my 1970's sex magazine 'CONFESSIONS' is now finalised. There will be a hard back deluxe numbered and very limited edition, and also a soft cover edition. I will be posting information on when and where it will be available in the coming months. We are comsidering offering a subscription service for obtaining this book. For serious enquiries regarding the deluxe hard back edition please contact: CABINET.
I recently attended the wonderful 'Artist/Model' exhibition at the I.C.A. with photographic works by Fergus Greer of Leigh Bowery and Richard Kern's photographs of girls. The focus of the exhibition was the exploration of the complex relationship between the artist and model. I took part in a panel discussion with Richard Kern, Lucy McKenzie (artist and occasional Kern model), Geoff Nicholson (writer) and I.C.A. director and curator Matthew Higgs. The talk was both interesting and revealing in terms of how the artist regards the model in relationship to the work of art that is being jointly created and particularly with my own work in the 1970's in which I was both artist and model. I'm also very excited about a new collaboration with Lucy Mckenzie, which we will be working on later this year.
Back to recording soon with diversions into collating the live action works in preparation for presentation. My new CD EAR 4, the next in the continuing Electronic Ambient Remix series is set (optimistically) for release late this year or early 2003. Check out my events and actions pages to catch up on what has been happening alongside everything else already mentioned.

Frantically busy...
I've had a frantically busy year so far which has left no time to actually tell anyone about what has been going on. Hopefully people have been catching up via the Chris & Cosey site and Chris' bits of news. We have just finished two collaborative tracks with Mortal Loom and have two more collaborations scheduled for this year. After these we will be concentrating on recording two new albums and EAR4. In between we'll be working on the TG/Industrial Records relaunch - a not unsubstantial project in itself.
I have been working on a re-presentation of one of my (many) 1970's sex magazines and have yet to decide on the final format this will take. It is very near completion.
In May I begin my 'Selflessness' live art series with the first action taking place in Los Angeles. When all the actions have been completed and taken 'form' they will be presented for public viewing.
