Dinosaur is an artist that runs Cheap Cheap and is a member of the horrible collaboration Kühle Wampe. He is also Artist Curator Trainee at Eastside Projects.
Dinosaur notes: I have invited three collaborative artist groups to Eastside Projects, for a period of thinking, gathering and connecting. GLOAM makes cool shit happen, an artist-led beacon, a collectively-run exhibition and studio space in Sheffield. Chaos Magic are Nottingham witches who change reality through ritual practice. DARP is a fantastic cult, a shapeshifter, an open system for living and practising together in rural Derbyshire. The expanded Midlands are here in Birmingham for one week. For one week the thunder is waking the frogs!* If It Thunders on All Fool’s Day* is an open offer to come to our city to ‘do something.’ I don’t know what is going to happen, I don’t know the outcomes, I hope this is a starting point. An open structure that allows for many outcomes, a picked mushroom that’s spreading its spores all over your hand and down your leg. I want to see how the spores fall, how the thunder rolls, if we are going to make something part exhibition, part proclamation, part kickoff, part massive collaboration, part check-in, part carucation. What can we achieve if we synergise or fall apart
