Writing up my case study on the Biennials recent Wirral project, it’s for Uni project not for Biennial but presume it might be useful for them too.
I’m preparing some questions for the artists involved to see how the project worked(or didn’t) for them. I think looking at it from an artists perspective might make a difference.
I have a meeting next week at the Lauries in Birkenhead, it’s a community centre with a difference in that a local artist runs a ‘gallery’ of sorts within the space and quite successfully exhibits work from local artists. There has been some really interesting work in the space so far.
I’m looking at putting my books there on their balcony but hanging upside down, these will be accompanied by other work made from old books, I like the idea of having all of the pieces in the exhibition made from books. Discusions Friday though so we’ll see after that.
Had a reply regarding a proposal I made for a piece of work for the Wolstenholme Gallery in Liverpool during the Biennial 2010, they are interested but there were some questions that needed answering first and then they will decide on final artists. I am very excited by the possibility of being included. So far so good, It would be fantastic to be involved with them and in the Independent Biennial and the project would be a really stimulating one to work on if they think it is feasible.
It’s all great experience though and my idea of still exhibiting throughout the course of my MA seems to be working, my biggest worry was to get completely tied up with MA work and the Butterfly Park project. I love variety and to have to chance to project my ideas visually in different places keeps me on my toes. I know I’m busy already but I kinda thrive on that business in a mad way, most of my best work comes out under pressure, I think thats the same for a lot of artists.
