I remember being part of a large exhibition in the Brighton Fringe in 1998 or 1999. I liked it, it worked, but it was not well received.

My degree show at the University of East London in Plaistow in 1998. I should probably add that. It was good.

I remember an exhibition somewhere in England in 1997, in the South West perhaps. Seemed like a big deal at the time.

I remember an exhibtion in Plaistow, London, in 1997. We organised it ourselves. I think we were quite proud of it.
