Why is it that I feel an idea isn’t working until I can verbalise it? Is it because I’m doing this blasted MA (I love it really)? I’m sorry to be boring, but I’m still talking about the bloody lullaby, […]
If something is too hard to do, then it’s not worth doing. Homer Simpson Can you believe that we have actually discussed pulling out of the exhibition, without even trying for funding? I think I’m on about my 5th day […]

A frustrating week where I haven’t had time to think. But my work is up, and Thursday I’m off to the west for a few days: time to re-think, and re-charge. Great combination of work in the Beta show: I’m […]
It has been a long time coming. Well the first version of this video was made erm… 30 years ago now. So obviously a lot of stuff has happened since. Some time ago I rediscovered my ‘when was NOW’ video […]
Thursday evening: managed to get to Sevenoaks for the private view of Beta, despite the pelting rain. I hate driving in heavy rain when its dark. The PV was well attended and I caught up with some of the other […]
Went over to the Arena Studios for a few hours today. Someone kindly let me in, but I got my swipe card today so they won’t have to again. I brushed my studio floor, added some more of my own […]
Hours spent painting the Project Space to get it ready for the inaugral event this month. Stephanie seems particularly skilled at decorating and finding uses for pieces of ripped up newspaper. We decided on a stringent yellow for the newly […]
In the time between projects I try to catch up with films I haven’t seen, or books I haven’t read. I’d wanted to catch up with the films of Werner Herzog and saw on dvd his enigmatic Sahara mirage film […]
In 1981 I made a video called ‘when was NOW’. All these years later I am making Version 2 of this video. My concerns were initially with the inherent contradiction of what we regard as the ‘here and now’ – […]
I am not off to a good start – I just realised it 12.45am and I have been reading a-n online for 3 hours and have not planned the school lunches or prepped for my butterfly park meeting in my […]
Headed to the M50 district yesterday – the Art District in Shanghai, near shanghai Railway station. It was onnce an old textile mill but now the complex houses galleries, studios and art spaces. Its a strange mix, some good a […]
ON Saturday night, I showed a new work, called Present Perfect Continuous, in Brighton, UK, as part of the White Night Festival. Present Perfect Continuous is a chat engine – it reworks scype, changing everything you have written into present […]
Note to Matt about how to proceed with Present Perfect Continuous, a chat engine that subverts text into present tense. We showed the work last saturday night at the White Night Festival in Brighton UK. We aim to finish the […]
