Set in rural Manitoba (in the middle of Canada) this film set for a Western lies abandoned and vandalised – until quite recently a western town marooned in the frozen north.

We visited Steven Pippin’s studio yesterday – here he explains the collapse of the universe and the basis of his Omega = 1 project by drawing on his workshop wall. Lots of stunning work.

The radiators under each pew are in the Frue Kirke in Trondheim – reminiscent of the seats in the lobby of the Van Nelle factory in Rotterdam (Van de Vlugt) – and an inventive addition of comfort.

I am in Trondheim for the Norwegian Artistic Research Program’s Autumn Forum where I am a respondent for one of the presenters (Neil Forrest, the very talented Canadian ceramicist). It is an impressive programme. I have been invited to quite a few conferences related to creative research but this is the first where one of the presenters has made a film starring Juliette Binoche! The film, A Thousand Times Goodnight, is by Erik Poppe (seen below in a subsequent session discussing his “subjective objective” method).
