An invitation into languages field of touch; to speak in feeling together.
Four intimate 45 minute sessions, readings of your political questions – using Tarot, Palmistry, Reiki, Astrology, and Philosophy, and the invented methods of Fake and Political Therapy.

A series of three short performed situations and statements to be examined or judged from the most interesting young musician in Glasgow (we think).

Conceived of as a dual publication, video cassette and booklet, to be presented as an installation. The content of the videotape is the artist watching television.
