The search for Andy Warhol's voice
No full textThe Search for Andy Warhol's Voice was a curated sound installation, which occupied an entire floor of the De La Warr Pavilion as part of the 2011–12 exhibition Warhol is Here. The installation incorporated photographs and archival ephemera, but centred on a collection of tape-recorded interviews, taken over the course of my fifteen-year journey to find Warhol's voice as recalled by those who were close to him. Did he hold conversations, did he chat away or was he as silent and monosyllabic as has been suggested by the extensive Warhol literature?
I both conceived and curated this project, which was created in site-specific form first for the De La Warr Pavilion and then for The Graves Gallery, Sheffield in 2012. Each version had new recordings especially made for the project and played on old cassette players alongside earlier recordings. The project emerged from my PhD, awarded 2007, using my primary research and unique access to the extensive audio archive of Warhol recordings.
These recordings contain the stories of Warhol's collaborators, the stars of his films, and his family. His brothers John and Paul Warhola talk about growing up with Warhol; other participants include David Bailey, Steven Bluttal, Brigid Berlin, John Giorno, Gerard Malanga, Billy Name, and Nat Finkelstein. Some of the interviewees had not spoken publicly before and several are now dead, making their contributions especially valuable. The primary Warhol tapes are embargoed, unavailable to scholars, so this exhibition provides a unique insight into the way Warhol talked to those around him, giving a sense of the man, his working methods, and his relationships with family and lovers. No other exhibition of this kind has been produced on Warhol.
The De La Warr exhibition also incorporated a surround-sound performance piece War(Holy), conceived by myself and co-produced with Rhys Davies

David Zimmer Christmas letter
No full textThis Christmas letter written November 30, 1999, by David Zimmer is titled "Season's Greetings from the last of the Red-Hot-Santas!" It features an illustration of Santa Claus with a guitar, and a summary of Zimmer's year.
David Zimmer (1929-2005) was born in Harrisburg, Ohio. He enlisted in the U.S. Army and served for two years during the Korean War at the Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, where he performed in drag for wounded soldiers. After the war, he returned to Ohio. Zimmer performed as Dolly Divine, a name inspired by the song "Hello Dolly." In 1964, he established the Berwick Ball with Orn Huntington, another important early gay activist in Central Ohio. The Ball began as a formal Halloween costume ball that provided a safe space to gather and enjoy drag shows for the gay community each year; over the years, it grew into an annual Halloween tradition and an important fundraiser for the AIDS movement and other charities. During the 1970s, Zimmer was also known for hosting lavish parties at his Harrisburg home. In 1989, he moved to the German Village area of Columbus where he remained active in the community. During the 1990s, Zimmer continued to perform in and out of drag and commissioned costume designer Dick Frank to make elaborate outfits. Zimmer worked for Huntington National Bank for 39 years and was a member of the Harrisburg United Methodist Church, Veterans of Foreign Wars and the German Village Society

Existence and Warr Neutrality for Matching Equilibria in a Public Good Economy: An Aggregative Game Approach
No full textUsing the aggregative game approach as developed by Cornes and Hartley (2003, 2007) this paper analyzes the conditions under which matching mechanisms in a public good economy lead to interior matching equilibria in which all agents make strictly positive flat contributions to the public good. In particular we show that the distribution of income among the agents is a crucial determinant for the existence of interior matching equilibria. In addition, we explore which matching mechanisms show Warr neutrality and how the size of the economy affects the possibility of implementing a certain type of Pareto optimal solutions through matching.
