This is the third live event in Cally Spooner's eight month project "Collapsing In Parts". Commissioned and hosted by International Project Space Birmingham, "Collapsing In Parts" is emerging as eight chapters of writing, numerous collaborations and irregular live event footnotes, staged across platforms in Europe, to explore the crisis of publicness, performance and progress. For "Footnote 3" at WCW Gallery, Spooner has collaborated with the London artist collective Am Nuden Da (Adam Gibbons, Lewis Ronald and Jesper List Thomsen ), through sixteen weekly reading groups, thirty texts, a group exhibition of work and a live performance, on action, in Hamburg.
Cally Spooner was born in Ascot, UK in 1983. She lives and works in London. Recent solo shows include At Five to Ten, Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt (2010) and A Solo Event for Thinking, Basso, Berlin (2009).
