I sometimes wonder if I’m little bit schizophrenic. My moods, reactions can zoom up and down with alarming speed. Over the years I have learnt to take a deep breath and wait before acting too soon and setting life-changing actions in motion, having been fortunate enough to have had wise sensible people on hand to steady and restrain. This was the case with the MA.
What a difference a week can make. After this weeks seminar I came home floating on a cloud of euphoria. Even managed to deliver a half-decent verbal presentation to the group. Now revelling in the intellectual discussions and new insights into Art – conceptual mapping, critical evaluation, the unknowing,phenomenology.
A visit to Tate Modern has also contributed to my inspiration this week. The Pop exhibition wasn’t really my cup of tea but a chance wander into the next gallery where a new exhibition called, Traces, more than made up for this. There I discovered several artists new to me who I intend to research further. Christopher Wool, George Condo, Rebecca Horn and several more. www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-modern/display/trace Well worth a second visit. Shall go again next week and hope the euphoria continues!
