Competition!!! Having communicated with Phil Illingworth on the subject, it has been buzzing around in my brain ever since. I descend into a kind of madness when the bee gets into my bonnet. As soon as I wake my brain […]
A journey through RUINS: The last days of London, by Patrick Wright. Added To My Library by Ilona Sagar
Completely didn’t get the accommodation sorted on Monday as hoped – at the last minute the owners changed their mind about the start date and demanded I started the lease a day earlier, even though I’d already bough my start […]
[This post was really written on the 6th of August, but posting to an unpublished blog apparently sets up a new blog; reposting here to keep everything all in the same place…] I did an almost complete U-turn with my […]
ITS DONE!!!!! the installation is in and the exhbition is hung! phew! Preview and book launch tomorrow night so fingers crossed its a success.
I’ve been itching to respond to this in all night : http://www.artselector.com/forum/good-gallery-experiences-bad-gallery-experiences ( Thank you Emily Speed) There are so many places out there that need a mention – but who has got the guts to be the first one […]
Ahem. Turned out I didn’t get the illustrator file right after all. Had to resend it. Today was B&Q and blisters from the drill. We’ve made 28 shelves, all fairly small and some excessively so (deeper than they are wide). […]
Monday 8th August 2011 (written in retrospect) Task #1: Create a story/journey/kenetic poem using pressed flowers and/or quilling. I have been exploring techniques, crafts and mediums that have a reputation for being twee and female orientated. Things like embroidery, quilling, […]
So here I am, fresh from degrees unedited, joining the grown-ups. I had expected to be doing this sometime this year but not quite yet; however, contributing to Artisterium 4 seemed like a worthwhile project to document and share and […]
Tuesday 9th August 2011 (written in retrospect) Task #2: Automatic Writing for at least 2 minutes. This may come as a surprise but my mum and I have been talking a lot about the riots over the past couple days. […]
Wednesday 10th August 2011 Task #3: Do on-line research for blogging programmes, choose one and set up your own blog. My mum has a lot to say. I think she should express what she has to say about politics via […]
Sporting League: Game 30 Bayerns took advantage of the Universo and Tranquilayers draw by defeating relegation candidates Bombaya by two goals to nil. Sporting radio pundit X: ‘It’s a bit frustrating for Bombaya at the mo’. I was talkin’ to […]
Niggling nagging feeling has crept in. Well it’s been there for a while, but it has got louder recently. Reading through Julie Dodd’s engaging blog relating to Blackburne House exhibition www.a-n.co.uk/p/1196518 has made me realise that I have to make […]
It seems kind of wrong to talk about something so ‘frivolous’ as art when peoples lives have been shattered due to the disturbances happening over the last few days. Although I live almost 200 miles away from London and well […]
I spent last week sorting out my new studio at Rogue (although there is still a lot of painting and deep cleaning to do), but it has been great to start getting settled. I have postponed the decorating, as I […]
Anthony Schrag has finished his residency at Standpoint. The next artist to begin a residency is Hannah James from Bristol, on the 22nd August.
A belated post from our trip to Birmingham in July. CWC is keeping us busy! CM: Arriving at Birmingham, I changed immediately to a train for Bournville to visit the International Project Space, which was showing Through Symbolic Worlds with […]
I have been circulating with other people, places and spaces on my long overdue trip to other parts of the UK. Being away is always a bit of a busman’s holiday. A brief stop in Manchester included the Peoples History […]
Nightmare of Ecstasy, by Rudolph Grey. Added To My Library by Sylvie Fleury , Artist
Sporting League: Game 29 Bayerns returned to the top with an away win over the young pretenders Pointeso…Universo were held against a resiliant Chamber Athlete…Champions Novia kept alive faint hopes with a two – nil win over Pacifica…
Richard: I have decided to throw myself a little further along this thought path before my laptop beds down for the night. I had forgotten what Ross sounded like; we have just had out first Skype conversation about a possible […]
I have been getting most of my news from Twitter and Facebook. I can’t access ordinary BBC News because I am outside of the UK. The radio speaks in repeated soundbites. The same old talking heads spout off. I found […]
Inspired today because I’ve been looking at a lovely work by Wolfgang Laib ‘Milkstone’ . Its a simple rectangle of white marble that he’s polished to form one slightly concave surface. In the gallery he pours milk to cover the […]
