Hello, I had a short kip and now I'm back with two exciting new projects in July: This Is What Democracy Looks Like! in London and There's nothing More Unequal than Equality amongst Unequals, launching in Cardiff this Friday 3 July. Please read on for all the details and come along if you're nearby! Best wishes, Ellie ![]() This Is What Democracy Looks Like!A new project by Ellie Harrison presented by The Yard as part of the Walkie Talkies programme curated by Beckie Darlington in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park.This Is What Democracy Looks Like! gives you the opportunity to meet & greet your newly elected politicians at a roving roundtable discussion upon a bicycle built for seven.

On Friday 3 July (6-9pm) a diverse group of six people from the local area will take part in a simple performance in the gallery – standing on a series of special plinths designed to raise each person up to an equal level, so that together they form a perfect line. A photograph from the performance will feature as part of the exhibition Island: Adaptations I & II, which continues at G39 'til 12 September 2015: Wednesday - Saturday, 11-5pm G39 Oxford Street Cardiff CF24 3DT Illustration taken from the 'easy read' version of the Equality Act 2010 ![]() Poetics & Politics of DataAnd finally, this Saturday 4 July I'm speaking at the Data Traces conference in Basel, to coincide with the exhibition Poetics & Politics of Data at HeK, featuring my 2006 work Timelines, for which I attempted to document everything I did, 24 hours a day, for four weeks.Exhibition Open 'til 29 August 2015: Thursday - Wednesday, 12-6pm HeK House of Electronic Arts Basel Freilager-Platz 9 CH-4142 Münchenstein / Basel Switzerland |
