MA started last Thursday, I got the train instead of driving which was soooo much easier. Think the M62/M6 in rush hour would have been a nightmare. Instead I had an hour an a half of relaxing – bought a copy of The Time Traveler’s Wife at the station – what joy to be able to read – child free – work free.
it’s a small crew starting the Fine Art MA – even smaller staring Site + Archive Intervention, 3 of us turned up, though apparently 5 were expected.
The lecturers all seem great, the course sounds really interesting, though I feel slightly out of my depth, a lot of very intellectual people……and me. Hope I can live up to the others.
Afterwards it was ‘The Long Night’ and the AND Festival in Liverpool, met up with friends and had fun wandering through galleries – though more wine than art was enjoyed…tsk.
One of my friends, Julie Dodd is a printmaker and wanted to see the Bluecoat facilities, so we popped there and watched a monoprint demonstration being given by Emma Gregory who, it just so happens, I had met that very morning in Preston! We both started the MA together and though I have heard her name in the Liverpool Arts scene, we have never met and then meet twice in one day, kinda spooky.
Now I am full of cold, wrapped up in a blanket sipping lemsip and though I slightly excited by what comes next in Preston, I am still not producing any art.
