The Institute of Psychoplasmics is an exhibition about cultic social groupings and how they challenge the integrity of the social body by producing another within it. It takes its name from the eponymous fictional institute in David Cronenberg's film The Brood, in which rage is encouraged to take the form of a cancerous schism within the body. Recreated within the Pump House gallery, the institute will investigate cults, brainwashing, war games, rituals and other explorations of the body politic as a metaphor for the social body, through videos, paintings, sculptures, sound and object-based installations, live work, a discussion panel and a publication.

There is a lot of new things on the website:
You can see my latest film HERE it's called "THEE KITTY GENOVESE" with the amazing Gemma Brockis as Kitty, everyone I parctically know is either in it or has helped somehow. Kate Forbes costumed it and I was generously allowed to use music by Miasma and the Carousel of Headless Horsemen and Chrome Hoof.

Apart from the new website design there are a few new things to look at, I hope you enjoy them.
I've put some Cherry Mash Cherry songs up from the album that we just kind of finished. You can hear them HERE
You can look at a series of photographic stills called FAMILY, it is a collection of portraits of the dominant characters that appear in my performances. HERE
There is also a fashion shoot that I did for the Portuguese magazine ZOOT with my lovely friend Kate Forbes with a lot of our friends as models, you can see them HERE
In late September I was invited by the lovely walkwalkwalk girls to curate a project within their walk. I invited 7 bands to perform in strange and unexpected places along the route. It was a truely magical experience. You can see the images and their website HERE
As part of the project, the wonderfully handsome and talented Stephen Fowler (the nervous one) designed and hand made a limited edition CD (see picture below) of all the music from the walk that you can purchase HERE
