Final day for submissions to have work in the Wolstenholme Creative Space during the Biennial Festival – it’s such a fantastic space, exactly what my idea of an artists studio should be – think garrett loft – with peeling plaster, holes in floors, ceilings and walls, rickety stairs etc but it has such a great feel to it.
Anyway, I have put in a submission, has to be worth a try. I have an idea of a brick installation shaping out figures, the figures being the vacant spaces between the bricks.
I suspect there was a huge amount of other artists submitting too. But….fingers crossed.
Sat through a symposium this week, 4 site and archive 2nd yr MA students giving talks about their practice and their projects.
It was really interesting, not least because it gave me an insight into what I’ll need to do this time next year.
The talks were all really informative and each person had their own methods of presentation, all good.
it’s a good way to see the work progressing as well, there was an MA interim show in September but not everyone exhibited and a white box gallery is not always the best way to present site specific work so it makes more sense to have the artists talk about their work.
The project in work that I will be writing my evaluation about has gained momentum and I seem to be busier than ever, when I’m going to have a chance to write it up I don’t know.
A piece of work I entered into the Wirral Open exhibition was accepted, found out today, it’s an odd mix of eclectic work at the Wirral Open, some of the pieces over the last few years were truly awful so I’m unsure how good my piece actually is. However, there were also some really great works, I suppose that’s what an Open is all about. It’s good to have competitions that anyone can enter, gives opportunities to those who aren’t trained artists too, I kinda like that.
