Pre-ramble is a series of live events hosted at David Dale Gallery (Glasgow). The events explore ‘the rehearsal as form’ to support artists whose practice engages with writing, performance and modes of live delivery.
“This piece was written in response to the experimental novel The Interrogative Mood: A Novel?, by Padget Powell, a book composed only of questions. This text is also composed only of questions considering the lives of weather forecast presenters, European travel, the desire to write, and to self mythologise.”

Mandatory Reconsideration is a performance developed from the artist’s experience of participating in a Pecha Kucha. Part artist talk, part pecha kucha, part Ted Talk X, part phone call to the HMRC to dispute a state benefit decision, Mandatory Reconsideration considers art’s relationship to different types of work, through re positioning the artist figure as over-identifying with their neoliberal nemesis The Creative Entrepreneur.
