“It's 1957, and the Press Release Still Isn't Written (Footnote three)” is the third live event in Cally Spooner's eight month project “Collapsing In Parts”. Commissioned and hosted by International Project Space Birmingham, “Collapsing In Parts” is emerging as eight chapters of writing, numerous collaborations and irregular live event footnotes, staged across platforms in Europe, to explore the crisis of publicness, performance and progress.

Recent solo shows include “At Five to Ten”, Neue Alte Brücke, Frankfurt (2010) and “A Solo Event for Thinking”, Basso, Berlin (2009).
