I managed to file my tax return in (reasonably) good time. I will try to do it as soon as possible after the 5th of April this year (That sounds like a resolution. It’s not. Either I get on with […]
Right. I’m back. 2010 was a fairly arduous year for me, truth be told, but what doesn’t kill you etc etc. I turned 40 on the winter solstice, and I feel better for it! The magic ingredients included: A lunar […]
Throughout the latter part of my time in Chongqing, I had the overwhelming urge to seek out something old and something green. With this in mind I took a mini bus into the Sichuan mountains to visit Dazu. Dazu is […]
My first day back to work. ‘Place’, an ‘exhibition in a book’ by Tacita Dean and Jeremy Millar often helps me re-focus after time away. Dean and Mililar’s synopsis of A K Dolven’s project looking back describes the complex, reciprocal […]
Coinciding with MOVE at the Hayward Gallery, the BFI devoted its Studio Space to Yvonne Rainer’s work and influences, in a programme of videos which explored the interaction of moving image works with choreography, with work by international artists accompanying […]
This blog has lost its purpose a little – partly as my own writing and studies have gained more purpose and focus. Something to be celebrated. I’ve decided to set up a new blog at Artists Talking, and to engage […]
We say: the writing of the text is its dying song.

Happy new year! This week the dial on my collaborationometer was ping ping pinging when I discovered the following invitation in my inbox: Lou Mallozzi “Outpost” Perched on the 4th floor mezzanine of the MCA, I’ll be zeroing in on […]
Magician This video piece is taken from the Chinese New Year, Gala TV show. When I watched the show in China there was an English computerised translation over the top of it which really undermined the performance as it sounds […]

Turkish Airlines conducted me safely to Beijing which after the Air France / KLM runaround made me feel quite grateful for basic efficiency and courtesy. My travelling companion seated beside me was a private security contractor on his way to […]
I’m fighting through so much jet lag that i cannot even tell if I am early or late, I am simply opposite having come from the US. It is good to be at the Institute for Provocation’s guest apartment, up […]
So it appears that I have taken a sabbatical from my blog! Thats a shame as its been an eventful month or two. As ever my non productivity has correlated with a very minor heartache (which I have made major […]
This is the last picture that I have to add to this blog for 2010 before I begin making 2011 collages. As always at the beginning of a new year I feel a need to reflect on the work done, […]
It has been a while since I last blogged on this topic. Not because it has fallen by the wayside, but because it has taken on a steady momentum, an inevitability, that I rather like, and in some ways it […]
Happy New Year to all. Lets hope that regardless of all the Government cuts to the Arts that we all do more than survive but actually prosper! I know there is slim chance of this for most but we can […]
My blog and project is a year old to the day. This time last year I was about to start the 2010 Challenge project. I had assumed that it would be almost over at this point in 2011. In reality […]
All that should concern us is the acute and increasing anxiety of the relation itself [of art to artist], as though shadowed more and more darkly by a sense of invalidity, of inadequacy, of existence at the expense of all […]
Happy new year and despite the thumping in my head, a reminder of last night’s frivolities, I feel really positive about 2011. In the new year I will be introducing two new and very focused blogs. One of them is […]
As it is January 1st and I am trying to begin the year purposfully especially with regard to making art. I am now typing this and posting the last few images. The project is in the final stages leading up […]
