If you listen really, really closely you might just hear a faint, distant rumbling – could it be that finally our area of the South West is showing a spark of artistic life? Hard to believe but I’m getting hopeful. The Salisbury Arts Centre has finally woken from it’s slumber and got someone with a bit of go in them in charge of the visual arts. The programme of shows, talks etc is undoubtedly on the up. On Jonathan Parsons advice I have nailed a meeting with Judy Adams to see if we can collaborate on projects I’ve been mulling over for some time.
The Artus meeting at the John Hansard gallery last weekend was spot on. At last, things are beginning to come together. We all stood round watching a DVD of a flickering candle in silence which eventually succumbed to the artist’s breath. Let’s hope the group doesn’t snuff out quite so easily.
Off to see the BA show at Winchester tomorrow, here’s hoping it’s worth the trip.
