It’s not news that 2016 was a turbulent year, but it was also a very creative year, so we asked the FAD team to pick some of their brightest art moments of 2016. Over four posts we bring you their answers; some are short, some are long but all are interesting, and in a very FAD way below we have the highlights of Leanne Elliot Young…
Highlights bright moments-

QUOTE OF THE DAY
The show is staged almost theatrically asking its audience to decide wether they are performer or spectator. Rooted in his interests in alchemy and star gazing, you’re induced to let go and succumb to the staging of the show.

27 The Eu referendum march and feeling outside an echo chamber.
28 Street art: With an avid dislike of street art, I was surprised by my joyous response to this years graffiti on the walls within LDN and NYC, a pure and direct response to the EU and TRUMP political conflict and shit pile.
29 The loss of my friend and co founder Richard Nicoll sparked commune to become a reality. COMMUNE IS AN EVER EXPANDING PALACE OF IDEALS. A SILVER CLAD IDEAS AND ‘VISION’ INSTITUTE, COMPILING THE TASTES OF THE FUTURE. A MULTIMEDIA COMPLEXITY OF EMOTICONS AND SIMILES. COMMUNE IS ALWAYS SEEKING TO PROVIDE A HAPPY ENDING THROUGH A SENSORY CLIMAX OF AESTHETICS. www.communeeast.tv/about

literature to go along side this work made me contemplate 1000 times. Drawing profound philosophical metaphors for family / societal / gender structures, by talking through the non traditional canine structure of celebrity adopted babies.

40 Nyc- #flybynight @creativetimenyc #alyssanitchun Through Sunday evenings at dusk, a massive flock of pigeons will elegantly twirl, swoop, and glide above the East River, as Riley orchestrates a series of performances occurring regularly throughout late spring. At the call of a whistle, thousands of birds will emerge from their home in a grand, converted historic boat docked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The pigeons will circle above the river as the sun sets over Manhattan, and small leg bands, historically used to carry messages, will be replaced with tiny LED lights, illuminating the sky in a transcendent union of public art and nature. @dukerileystudio #performanceart www.dukeriley.info
