The Panellists

Hayley Newman

Hayley produces live events, film, video and photography. Her work is as witty as it is critically engaged with the historical placement of performance and modes of documentation. She has performed and exhibited widely including at Matt’s Gallery, Ikon Gallery Birmingham, Camden Arts Centre and Tate Modern. She is perhaps best known by her work ‘Connotations Performance Images’ a series of photographs and texts documenting fictional performances.

Since then Dawn has become increasingly active in the art world, in Brian’s world.
