something i’ve also been thinking about for the last 12 hours has been the notion of the avant garde.  is there still an avante garde and is it happening away from the mainstream?  is there a paradox about the avante garde currently being how there is a need for track record and previous experience being so much part of being accepted?  if only i were a fine art lecturer at wolverhampton, surely i’d know more !

is the noise of the crowd support for the dart player?

 

tum tiddly tum.

 

waiting for the block to wain …
