Irish Times Weekend Review

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Franko B in collaboration with Kamal Ackarie. This piece marks a challenge in Franko B’s performance practice, formalising his recent departure from blood-based work. Franko allows the viewer time to look at his body and approach it as a sculptural form. His body is not a “universal” body: it is heavily tattooed and scarred, voluptuous in shape and size. (11 mins, 1 on stage, 3–4 on the road, contains nudity.)

WRAP-AROUND
Illustrated talks/lectures, mentoring/tutorials, DJ-ing, painting, sculpture, photography, video and installation. Franko B’s recent projects include a mentoring scheme with artists. For more information please visit www.franko-b-mentoring.co.uk or www.de-mentored.blogspot.com
