Thanks to everybody for your kind and thoughtful comments regarding our recent installation Schlaflabor. Details regarding the event, alongside a collection of these comments, a few images and a short evaluation will be posted here in the near future.
A special thanks goes to the nightshift workers, DJ Winson, Andreas Lorenzen (Fireman), Achim Staudenmaier (Policaman), Ahmet Ögretmen (Kebab seller), Holger Heinz (Hotelier), Herr Sacher (Nightwatch), Ralph Schuster (Paramedic), Sascha Öztürk (Courier), Herr Baumgartner (Cinema film courier), the taxi driver with the numberplate S-GA-766 and the Abfall Wirtschaft Stuttgart (Street cleaning department).
Treacle have been invited to create an interactive installation for the Stuttgarter Tanznacht 2009. Schlaflabor will offer the festival audience an opportunity to sleep, for as long as they wish, throughout the event. Each bed is playfully dedicated to nightshift workers that we have met in the vacinity of the theatre.
The event takes place on the 6th of June 2009, running from 6pm to 6am. More information coming soon.
Between February and April we will be collaborating with Martina von Holn to undertake a short residency in Blackburn. Talking Shop responds to, interacts with and documents local shops and small businesses within an area known as Audley Range.
More information coming soon.

Last night between skins was awarded the Stuttgarter Theaterpreis 2008. We look forward to talking the performance on tour, while developing two new performances with Nicki in 2009.

Following our research residency last month we have been commisioned to present a new site responsive intervention, currently called ‘Rent a dog‘, at the 2009 Festival der Regionen.
Treacle have been invited by MOKS (Centre for Art and Social Practice) to a six week residency in the Estonian village of Mooste. We will be there between July 15th and August 30th 2009.
We are currently taking a break from our usual work to support my dad Daniel Wimberley as he campaigns to get elected to the States of Jersey, with policies based on environmental responsibility and social justice. Please keep you fingers crossed!

26.11.08 – Result!
Daniel Wimberley is now deputy of St Mary in Jersey, the beautiful island on which I grew up. It was a bizarre and nervewracking experience watching all the votes being counted like some sort of extremely fast card game. I wish I had been able to record it.
Following a site visit in July, we are very pleased to have been invited back to Auwiesen in Austria for a two week research residency in November, looking towards developing a new project for the 2009 Festival der Regionen. The theme for this edition of the festival is normality.
We would like to walk dogs…
We have added a chronological list of treacle events to our blog. This list will rarely include ongoing project research and development, concentrating on public and programmed presentations of our work.
