Camouflaged, in a fashion, as in nature, in the military uniform de jour.

I recently applied for Experimenta's new Media Art Mentorship scheme - basically you outline a project that you want to do within the realms of site-based and public art, and nominate an appropriate mentor to oversee your work, to give input and generally allow you to harass them on the finer points of artmaking... © Fiona Hall I was unsure if Fiona…
