There are a lot of things I miss about living in the UK... the museums certainly being on that list. Still - there are some museum shows I can honestly say I didn't miss (nsfw)

AugustFri 18 - Kira O’Reilly Inthewrongplaceness (A slow crushing dance with a pig for one person at a time)This work emerges from research with skin biopsies from newly dead pigs, cultivating the skin cells in vitro, in preparation to work from a biopsy of my own body’s skin. The work left me with an undercurrent of pigginess, unexpected fantasies of mergence and interspecies metamorphoses began to flicker into my consciousness; making fiercely tender and ferocious identifications with the pig as stand in, double, twin, doll, imaginary self.
