Curatorial Research Residency at MoKS, Mooste, Estonia

Curatorial Research Residency, MoKS, Mooste, Estonia. June 2017 and again August 2017.

My 6th year coming to MoKS; a vital artists led arts residency centre, leading the way as the heart of cutting edge contemporary practice and creativity in the Baltics, run by the talented generous artists Evelyn and John Griznich.
I was in MoKS to research "Head over Heals"and prepare for an Irish Nordic Baltic "artist curator" 2 day gathering in Puka at the end of August with gifting of practice as the meeting points between us. 15 coming from 5 countries...

With wonderful studio spaces and a large public sharing space with wooden floors, I offered daily morning movement based practice with the other artists residents there through an embodied creativity process suitable for artists of any discipline,  that I have been developing for the past 12 years


MoKS is such a meeting point for Nordic Baltic creators with inspirational and informative dinner time conversations, this time with Estonian actors, Finnish screen dance artists and radical performance artists from Macedonia who are mentioned in the book Critical Art in Contemporary Macedonia.

Ongoing research into oils and plants to connect me to Estonian land
(but mainly to deter mosquitos!)
