New opportunities — the ones that aren’t part of my usual way of working but I find myself instinctively drawn to — can be a fantastic way to develop ones practice. The collage abuse series came about in this way, […]
Text by Victoria Gray Context Context After the focussing on digital technology it felt important to return to the performance component of the project. During this project I authored a paper titled, Sound Affects: The Sonification of Energetic Exchange in […]
I had a meeting with Judith Stewart, who is writing a short contextual essay for Topography Disarranged in May. The QH has worked well with Judith before – it is building ongoing relationships such as this (made when running this […]
I recently read an article by Robin Sloan (http://www.robinsloan.com/note/flip-flop/) called “Dancing the Flip-Flop” which describes the practice of creating artworks, images or videos that were formed by an exchange between analogue and digital mediums. An example of a flip-flop would […]
Update for this weeks time in the studio… “Too much bad Art” This was inspired from looking at Art that is presented in the Art world such as Martin Creed, lights going on and off Work no.227. The response I […]
[AMP (AnnaMaria Pinaka)]: Yummy. I don’t believe anyone. I am not exactly depressed I just don’t like myself. My wife and two kids are well and that is what is important. I don’t like being pushed. My name is K.P. […]
[AMP]: 3. I am silent and heavy. I don’t say much. I speak some but I don’t say much. I don’t need to say much. My decisions just come across, I just come across. Inside me is written ‘MAN’, in […]
[JP] Taking up space. Women dominate significantly less space than men, closed in on ourselves. Sat down across from us reading a menu, sit two men, their arms spread out as if there is a lump of stone in front […]
Feeling a bit low today as I adjust to the reject from Arts Council over the AIDF application. I think it was more of a shock that we were rejected because they ‘On balance preferred other applications’ and not because […]
The spatial discourse appears to have come almost a full circle. Comparing the beginning of this residency to its current state, a simplicity is starting to slowly occur again. Having a finite time, as with everything, means more thought and […]
I had my second Group Crit, and it was much easier to talk freely about my work this time. I talked about what I had been doing since the last meeting and showed everyone the MRI images in the clear […]
I bought my first goldfish recently. It died, so I bought another one. Since I’ve had the fish I’ve been thinking about memory span and how fish supposedly only have a 3 second memory. This one also died! I’ve wanted […]
First off, we published our website this week: doggerland.info This hopefully gives a vague indication of things to come from Dogglerland, as well as detailing meetings in Scotland with GENERATORprojects in Dundee, and Many Studios in Glasgow. We have more […]
Intense time working on Grants for the Arts application. We had stalled for a while, waiting to hear Torre Abbey’s response and are now rushing to submit to keep to a self-imposed deadline which gives a coherent timeline to the […]
While I was looking at the work of Robert Morris today I stumbled across the work of a constructivist artist named Vladimir Tatlin. His work visually shares the aspects and materials that are appealing to me in Morris’s work. His […]
Design and interruption This is probably one of my more playful paintings. Using part of a ceiling rose I photographed in a café, I edited the image using Photoshop. Preciseness and exactness in my art are not my strongest points […]
Last week I held an event called ‘talking with objects’ which saw me trying to share some of my research with 20 friends, family and (joyfully) strangers who were interested in what I was doing! It was held in a […]
Isa Genzken, Wim Delvoye, Susan Hiller, Amar Kanwar, Shilpa Gupta and Tris Vonna-Michell are among the artists announced to take part in the 2014 Edinburgh Art Festival programme.
A three-and-a-half-metre wide excavation will create a wound in the Norwegian landscape, symbolising the sudden and tragic loss of the 2011 Utøya massacre.

Where do I start? I’m following so many strands now that identifying one for a post is hard. In the end though the process of editing my proliferating texts helps to temporarily disentangle the mass of knotted threads that hang […]
The Cedric Ford Art Prize Exhibition moves to Nottingham’s Backlit Gallery tomorrow. It will be interesting to see the work in a different space. I’m going to the private view – a chance to network. Backlit Gallery has studio space, […]
I have made my piece for March – in the end it was simple, after watching Newsnight, where Jeremy Paxman summarised the Syria crisis as a 21st century failure. It is a failure of our imagination and our humanity, that […]
