Again I can’t really remember what was in my last post but I’m fairly certain I had started both my my residencies so I’m going to talk about what I’ve been up to this week…
Monday I was working at Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum as I was the previous monday… the works on paper that were on display needed rotating with others from the collection to help preserve them; this took the full day. I highly recommend popping in and seeing the new pieces which are up (inc. really nice Keith Coventry work)!!!
Tuesday was spent doing prep. for wednesdays visit to Southam’s Cardall Collection and writing text for The Lombard Method‘s mail-out, i also did some drawing later in the day (see photos).
Wednesday I began collecting togeather all the fragments of communication from my time at The Lombard Method so far in relation to the diagram drawing of yesterday after I had been to Southams Cardall Collection and spent a few hours with the collection looking mostly at early publications and pamphlets; later I started work on my own pamphlet as an introduction to the project based on the design of the ones I saw in the collection (see photos) I have just finished this now. My pamphlet will be being sent out en-mass after some editing (if you would like to receive one please email me at [email protected] ).
Today I have mostly been working on my pamphlet and a digital version of the diagram for The Lombard Method and have been viewing A LOT of stock video that I may use to create the heterotopia I’m sure I mentioned in my last post, I think the video I had been making was too recognisable simply because I was making it as opposed to finding it! Stock video really is ‘other’ (not mine but mine, clearly this world but I don’t have a clue where, made for production but of what, etc…).
This finding of video also reflects my show We’ve been Re-distributed at ARTicle Gallery (of which theres now some nice documentation of at http://www.articlegallery.org/).
I also sent off my submission for Bloomberg New Contempories 2012.
Thats about it this week… I’m going to try and start blogging much more regually agin… keep your eyes peeled!
