→ continued from above A lot of funny anecdotes exist about my great-aunts, with a patronising bias, rendering them slightly ridiculous, even tragic figures, partly because they were spinsters, partly because their peculiar habits and idiosyncrasies now seem odd, and […]
After-the-fact – and proof that I’m slowly reviving – greetings from an outing across the river, across time, across the pain-limit (consequence), across the pleasure-threshold (immediate), all imbued with the sweetness of motion and possibility (momentary), long awaited, planned for, […]
Alison Berry & Sonia Griffin: Developing further our interest in communication and language, we have produced a projected digital image with Ruth Payne’s work forming the tower of Babel and Val Bolsover’s work creating radio type signals radiating outwards through […]
Alison Berry: As well as thinking about and executing specific work for the paper project, I spend a great deal of time thinking in more general terms about collaborative working in the art world, the difficulties it presents and the […]
After deliberating on my work with my peers i have come to a new relisation about what i am doing in the coming weeks. At the moment though i have realized a new purpose for my sculpture. I have not […]
Swings and roundabouts…. I’m now getting very adept at finding money saving offers. From saving a £1 here and there by getting a certain bus to work for example, to cutting out coupons – something I thought I’d never do! […]
some random photographs taken on my mobile, I’m not sure why but they have a strange ethereal quality.
Cooler air. The right hand side of the building now muffled by a large black plastic sheet. The building has a cupped hand over one ear.. Thinking about the order of remembering and sound loops.. A circle, a metal bowl. […]
I heard back from Creekside Discovery Centre. They ARE interested in giving my structure a new home! As a bug hotel for the kids to clamber upon and observe from all sides. I love that idea! Why not? More and […]
As I become increasingly immersed within my ‘Every photo we took at the beach’ series, I can not help but recall the photographs of Martin Parr. Whilst his images of a seaside resort past its prime are quite different to […]
Outer Pointesian new art Topography. You needn’t mourn the lower Pointeso art scene, all but gentrified out of existence. Today’s Left Vale artists are just a subway line away from the major downtown galleries, in areas where business park start […]
This week’s must-see shows include casts of dismantled photocopiers in Edinburgh, Cezanne’s watercolours in Oxford, and an exploration of line and light in London.
London-based gallerist Ceri Hand has announced that the gallery in Southwark is to close at the end of April.
LONDON & BODY LANGUAGE EXHIBITION. This week I went to London to hand in a piece of my work from 2013 to Trinity Buoy Wharf for submission to the BP portrait awards, 2014. The standard of work was incredible high […]
Val Bolsover and Jo Brown Contemplating the lines previously interpreted as music we have now embarked on north- south explorations of landscape and nature which abound with lines of contour and grain. We are exploring processes which one partner uses […]
As if on cue, my washing machine began spewing water from its base at the weekend. I caught it all with towels and newspapers (thankful of my hoard) before any damage was caused. I’m trying to stay positive – it […]
2 YEARS IN 68 PAGES Inevitably projects run their course and you start thinking of other work. That is certainly the case for me. That doesn’t mean though I have totally put down this project. My Rink Ballroom book is […]
No images today, just tweaking bits of tape into final positions. It is interesting that even a small amount of change alters the whole dynamics of the installation. Working on gathering all the words, sound pieces and images that I […]
ANOTHER PROJECT… ANOTHER PROPOSAL, AND A SATURDAY SALON Alongside my Improbable Experiments With Growing Stones, my curatorial project for Phoenix Brighton continues to slowly take shape. Based around the question, “What difference would it make if we never died?”, the […]
Week 67: 23rd – 29th DecemberAfter last week’s exploration into artistic forms of research mixed with concepts of quantum physics and philosophy, I thought it might be time to consider again the nature of interdisciplinary practice, particularly in relation to […]
Proposal for STATE exhibition. Aspire to Inspire: made for a site specific exhibition at Islington Arts Factory-previously a Swedenborgian Church. The spire from the Church was removed in the 1990’s due to health and safety. Aspire to Inspire was the […]
