I am currently undertaking a PhD in Art by Practice.
This is a record of my research out in the field.

Jordan McKenzie - Tired Old Fruit (performance)
Studio 1.1, London
Completely wrongfooted me, brilliant. Jordan slumped at a table, with dug out melons, stopped still, but live, doing nothing, but still life from another place and time. Should I say hello, no it would not be right. (why would it not be right? - interesting to think about) Lots of passers by, not believing their eyes “is that a real man” Looks so aesthetic but shocking and making me examine my reactions - to the performance, to the performer, to the still liveness? -  Bold and compelling and funny and conceptually demanding.
