GOLDEN RETRIEVER: THE POSSESSION
On October 2-5, 2015, Golden Retriever teamed up with Conduire for Artlicks Weekend in London. From Conduire's project space, we hosted four days of screenings, live performances with the Golden Retriever cast via Skype, a closing performance with artist Emma Hunt (in conversation with an animal psychic in Boston) and an online project by artist James Ferris . Conduire is run by Sophie Risner.
