Louise Hojer
Having compiled London Consortium's listings for a while now,
Static have decided to stretch Louise's talents for seeking
out interesting events happening in London by restricting
her to the specific theme of each issue. She is currently
writing a PhD which takes 'the wall' as its focal point. It
is thereby no coincidence that she is interested in what happens
between London's very own walls. In her spare time she curates
her own events, the most recently held at the ICA, London. |
