'Dead Man Rising' in Bendigo

Here's some pics Dave Fagg took at the Bendigo version of 'Dead Man Rising', which I missed:

I don't like Mondays

'Dead Man Rising' is currently on in Bendigo, but I'm actually back in Melbourne. I've been throwing up for most of the day, haven't even been able to keep water down, so this afternoon I caught the train back home. Trav says that Bendigo tends to have that effect on people.
I'm feeling a fair bit better now, and had some juice, and that doesn't seem to have made me worse, but I don't know if I want to risk eating anything.
And it looks like I can have a day off tomorrow.

'Dead Man Rising' in Footscray

Spent yesterday afternoon setting up 'Dead Man Rising' at the Dancing Dog with Marcus, Talitha, Minh and Long.

We were up till about one o'clock this morning working out how to explain all the different stations and stuff, and printing and folding and cutting the little station take-away explanations and stuff.
We were back at the Dancing Dog at about 7:30 this morning to finish everything off. I reckon at least 60 people showed up to interact with the installation. John Jensen had already blogged a reponse before we started packing up. Read it here. I can't really be bothered writing about it right now, having hardly had any sleep the last four nights. I just wanted to put some pictures up:

At about 10:30 we started packing everything back into the Urban Seed van, to take it up to Bendigo (where we are now).

We'll be doing the same thing at St Matt's in Long Gully at 7:30 tomorrow night.

Evicted for Easter

Was out at Marcus' place last night doing more work for 'Dead Man Rising', and tomorrow we'll be setting up at The Dancing Dog.

A guy we know from Credo got evicted for Easter - just when all the accomodation services places are about to be closed for four days, so he was there with us too, and we were trying to work out where he can stay over the long weekend.

Been doing more work on 'Dead Man Rising'.

Food for risen bodies

Marcus has a friend, Katie, visiting from Cornwall (Marcus is obsessed with being Cornish, and Cornwall not being part of England), so after church last night Marcus and Katie and Cara and Talitha and me went and had dumplings for tea at this Chinese restaurant in Tattersalls Lane. Marcus decided to leave some scrunched up 'Dead Man Rising' fliers, cause he thought it'd look cool.

'Dead Man Rising'

This Easter we're setting up an art installation called 'Dead Man Rising'. It's going to be open in Footscray on Easter Sunday (April 8), and in Bendigo on Easter Monday (April 9).
Today I've been doing a bit of experimenting for the installation, projecting archaic anatomical diagrams onto a wet 'shroud'. (Thinking about the resurrection of the body.)
