After the AIR presentation last night, I am truly beginning to wonder about Worcester and whether some sort of art network will develop and that we will bring present art into the conservative watercoloured 'city' that I live in, Worcester.
Nathan Pitt, (The Pitt Studios), who was the other speaker last night, seems to feel a passion for making something happen; studios, exhibitions and mainly just a group of artists who know each other.
I have been living here since September 2007, 10 months and have not met a single contemporary artist here. If I am here, a 22 year old live art artist living within this city, there must be others. Perhaps, and most probably, this is all my fault, but no one seems to advertise their existence. I hope, that now a few of have met, that there will be more of an arts community here, we shall see!
There is the prospect that I may be performing at an opening at Galerie Loris in Berlin this October, so I am musing over what I would present and how it would be different. Just as paint is a medium, and all paintings are individual, my medium is a laptop, a projector, words, an audience and me. Each piece is different and if someone else decides to use the same medium as me, our work will still be different.
I am currently thinking that bringing a more participatory aspect into my work might be interesting…
