I dashed up to Leeds last week to catch the glittering UK launch of FEATURE at Leeds Met Gallery.  My old stomping ground i caught up with a few familiar faces and was joined by Nigel Walsh from Leeds City Art Gallery who was in turn joined by Phil Sayers and Rikki Lundgreen - who had just completed a video installation at the Gallery.  It was great to see the completed Dawood western film and to revisit a project that Wysing had commissioned just 12 months ago on our 11 acre rural site.  It was great to see all the sets on screen that at Wysing we had lived with for some weeks and to meet the curators involved in taking the Tour of the show - Feature - Archaeology from Manchester to Birmingham.

I also picked up a copy fo the Book by Bookworks which was amazing to see it all documented in its entirety and to remind myself of the behind the scenes moments we lived through last Summer at Wysing.
