From August 4th to August 21st, together with the British artist and filmmaker Matt Hulse I was invited to stay in the space of the Jelly Reading as artists in residence. So our stay at the art association which is located in Broadstreet Mall, right next to the HEXAGON, lasted from my own until Matt's birthday. During our stay in the post-war modernist architectural buildings Matt and I did a lot of research and prepared our interdisciplinary film project about HEXAGON Reading.
On September 4th we returned to the Jelly to give a final presentation of what we had achieved during our residency. We showed our own photos together with archive material we had found in the library and the HEXAGON, the Cape I had made, that was related to the architecture of the multi-finctional venue and above all we presented our video “There is a Place” (Link) that we shot in the architecture around the HEXAGON. To our great delight, the Mayor of Reading, David Stevens, and his wife Alison took part in our final presentation, which ultimately led to the idea of the international brick exchange, respectively the brick signing.
