Following on from Critical Perspectives on Pornography and Unoriginal Genius, Faith Holland and Valentina Fois are curating an interesting two day event (24 – 25 November), cloud . love, at DAM Gallery in Berlin:
“The Internet is slowly but surely changing our lives: whether it’s how we react to a “ding,” the way we receive images, how we make art, how we fall in love, or how we fuck. As much as we are using it, it also reprograms us.

ESTATE, A REVERIE tracks the passing of the Haggerston Estate (1938-2014) in Hackney and the utopian promise of social housing it offered, with an unruly celebration of extraordinary everyday humanity.

In 2012, Andrea assembled elements from the Estate feature project to create the short film Towards Estate.
