Writer Greg Thorpe introduces his Twitter project running throughout our last month in our current building…
FIN.
A simple enough word seen in the darkness of the cinema that means a special journey has come to an end.
During my work as researcher and music producer of The Storming – the final installation that takes place at Cornerhouse on Sat 4 April – I have, like an accidental snowball, been gathering up stories, memories and assorted ephemera relating to our unique Manchester arts institution.
As we count down the days to the closing of Cornerhouse – towards the FIN of the film of Cornerhouse’s life – I will be using the Cornerhouse Twitter account to send into the world a selection of images, historical detail, videos, anecdotes and memories relating to Cornerhouse.
Mimicking human memory, my timeline will be un-chronological, the posts gleefully abstract and enticing, but the stories and feelings they communicate will all be genuine. They will hopefully reach out to all those who have loved Cornerhouse.
My previous Twitter intervention for Manchester Central Library can be seen here.
Watch out for the hashtag #30DaysofFIN from the Cornerhouse Twitter account, every day until Sat 4 April when my final tweets will be sent live from The Storming.
FIN.
