Quite a night for the beginning of the campaign to relaunch Table of the Elements… I only managed to snap a couple of photos. Everyone loved seeing the Tony Conrad movie and a wonderful Q&A with Emily Bick from The Wire magazine… much fun!

Yes, this is what we're doing! Tony has only screened three times during the nearly nine years since we premiered at the Tate... and this event has a most significant purpose!

While researching my novel 1983, which is based on the Nottinghamshire mining village where I grew up, I had a weird memory of a man who used to take his cow for a walk around the village, like it was a dog. "Have I made that up?" I wondered. So I checked my mum and dad's old photos. I hadn't.

The film you reference here is called, Don’t be a Sucker, and was released in 1947 as a clear warning about fascism and how it begins to take hold of society. No animation in it though…

My teenage son has become the relationship to the collection that was most needed by finding a deep enjoyment out of selling off the unloved, not listened to… to buy new and fresh. It’s a new experience for me and I’ve relaxed in to it…

Hear, hear. His books are a staple… if he’d only written Minor Histories it’d warrant a primary place in the pantheon… and with Foul Perfection he excelled, I think. His performances in Tony’s jail movie were astounding. What a geezer… so sad he couldn’t bear to become a really old one.

Floella Benjamin circa ‘77 when she’d settle Humpty down from those weird looks he got from Hamble… and then Derek Griffiths would create a lovely distraction from the fear installed by Johnny Ball chopping his finger off. This while off school and drinking Lucozade with the orange cellophane…

He keeps popping up in my thoughts… is he really dead? We used to meet for tea at The Barbican. CS Leigh… enigma, genius, crazy person… my meeting him and then working on a project together was one of the maddest times. The evening at The Horse Hospital unfortunately unforgettable!
