"Transistor Circuits in Electronics" : An Appreciation. (Or, When My Father Quit Being an Engineer) in Palimpsest II, exhibition of artists books at Theartspace in Nicosia opening 30th March 2012, until 4th April 2012, and at Theartspace in Dusseldorf, September 2012.

I altered this book, originally printed in 1964, to show only the schematics of transistor circuitry that my grandfather would have worked with. The book, as I changed it, is a comment on the curious (love - hate) relationship between artists and engineers. I highlight that by inverting the authors' statement of intention - preserved from the preface - that "no attempt has been made to make it a design book".

Site specific radio drawing, installed at Omikron Gallery’s group exhibition, ‚Drawing Room’. Nicosia Radio is a wall-mounted drawing and a functioning, un-amplified radio that viewers can listen to. The outcome of the drawing depends partly on the radio frequencies available in this gallery; here a coil construction also makes reference to Nicosia’s Venetian walls with eleven bastions. Nicosia Radio refers to the complex media space that exists in this politically divided city.
