In these exceptional times, practitioners and arts professionals need to ensure their messages have clarity when making the case for the arts.
Have just picked up on the Liberate the Tate Debate (a-n Magazine, September and October 2010) and will begin by emphatically stating that I am no apologist for the Oil Industry.
Stephen Black suggests that many of the major ‘open submission’ art events are less than democratic in their selection, and therefore a disproportionate number of artists are wasting their money by entering (a-n Magazine, September 2010).
As an artist who has entered open submissions and as a manager of an artist-led, not for profit gallery space (Core Gallery, Deptford) which held its first open submission this year, I feel I can give a slightly different insight into this subject than those laid out in the last two issues of a-n, as to what your open submission fees actually go towards (a-n Magazine, September and October 2010).
The Royal Academy of Arts wishes to record its objection to the published letter by Stephen Black in the September issue of a-n Magazine (Great open submission swindle).
A large gap exists today between the reality of being an artist and the image of The Artist which is portrayed by history and media, and perceived by the general public. Rich White asks what do artists actually do for society, how can they help with regeneration, particularly in a time of recession, and what is its real value?

Visiting in the early hours I am beginning to realize that night time, rather than being the opposite of day is in fact a different country. A colder, quieter one with less traffic, next to no public transport, fewer people, […]
The trouble with some people is… Do you know..It never ceases to amaze me when people confront you with the question, “Why are you doing a degree at your age?”. I’m not offended by the question, it’s more of a […]
My project for this semester will be looking at, and examining the artistic values artists embed in to works they create. The next part of this blog is taken from some of my learning agreement I submitted . Throughout my […]
More ideas whirling around my head. I’m not sure what I think about this project, this word ‘intervals.’ When I think I might have something pinned down, I think some more and then just dismiss it. I’ve got a tendency […]
we have space, we have artists, we are developing a presence in southampton, we have an exhibition open at the moment. lots to catch up and reflect on.
