This week has all been about preparing for my performance for the Studio Chongqing symposium at the Chinese Arts Centre curated by Nina Chua and Jessica Longmore. Before it started Jessica introduced the event and whilst she was doing this […]

We’re currently preparing for a book art show, but a really special one. It’s been my dream to present this show in London some time. “Prospero’s Library” began as an idea from Moscow-based writer and artist Mikhail Pogarsky, who imagined […]

Sporting League: Game 36 Novia kept up the pressure after an away win against Pacifica…Universo cemented their successful return to the league by beating closest rivals Delta to all but take eighth position…Bayerns made a swift recovery against doomed Lunderbach […]

This week I managed to quell a steadily growing sense of guilt by making time to meet with Cherry Tenneson (long term collaborator, “Tenneson and Dale”). It was the best kind of meeting – short, but productive. Within 45 minutes, […]

EASTBOURNE FESTIVAL The fourth Eastbourne Festival started this weekend, the beginning of 3 weeks of music, arts and literature events in the town. Many Eastbourne artists, including Blue Monkey Studio, open their houses and studios for the festival and it […]

BLUE MONKEY BRAINSTORM Looking forward to meeting with the other Monkeys tomorrow to brainstorm ideas for the Network opening programme : )

I’ve spent 8 hours walking the streets and thinking. I’m trying to bring everything together and think about how to present what I have been doing since October. The walking was for work but it gave me some time in […]

RE-VISIT, RE-VIEW PART 3 The next project I’m working on is a one weekend only show in an empty shop space (with a difference), entitled Display Only, on the 14tth and 15th May as part of Eastbourne Festival. I say […]

Well the exhibition is fast approaching, with a mass of things to complete and organise over this Easter bank holiday. Currently my main focus is the construction work, building large wooden boxes (total of 11m in length) to act as […]

Haven’t had internet access for a while. :( The leaf layering went well but its a very long-winded process. I will try to add an image but I can’t find the option on here anymore… I took Jeremy to get […]

The performance went rather well despite it being somewhat chaotic in places. That in fact was its character: a rather clumsy beast that took over the space. The addition of the subtitling was quite OK though I will have to […]

Sporting League: Game 35 Defending champions Novia knocked Bayerns off their perch in what could prove to be the defining moment of the season. Sporting Radio: Pundit A: “I’m not sure if the Bayerns gaffer is one for omens but […]

I’ve been doing lots of work in the studio recently that’s not been working out or has not been producing the results I’m wanting. This normally gets me frustrated but I’ve come to realise that this is all part of […]

Last night I went to Christopher Fraser’s show at the Artworks gallery in Poole. Apart from a handful of studio-holders at the gallery there were four visitors. Maybe it was because of the sun or that it was a bank […]

I always hate the blog posts that start off ‘I haven’t posted on here for a while’ however I’m going to do it anyway might as well keep some sort of blogger cliché I haven’t posted on A-n for a […]

On 2nd May I will be presenting Forget the Stage: Performance and Lived Environments at the Relation and Participation symposium in Aberystwyth. My presentation will take place during symposium breaks and will be delivered to small groups of delegates in […]

Sporting League: Game 34 Novia came back from a goal down against Colne to run out as victors by three goals to one… Novia boss: ‘I was told that my no2 defender might actually have a minor groin strain – […]

I walked right past this archeological excavation site in the centre of Berlin without realising because I was on the other side of the walkway. The perspex windows (where the spectators now stand) were added since. It’s the uncovering of […]

THIRD MONDAY Drew ten leaves. Thought about up and down and below and underground. About life and living and not living. On this third day I began to feel under, low, slow, lethargic. I remembered a similar feeling when I […]
