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?

i have mentioned this in my personal blog. but now, this studio space creature has unfurled to reveal itself as a demanding individual in its own right. so it gets its own blog. i think i am assertive but this […]
The show opens tomorrow in Oxford ‘Invasion of Privacy’, curated by Notfamousyet in a terraced house. Tonight is a private, private opening for artists and friends etc involved as it would be a health and safety nightmare, space- wise to […]
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.
Arts Council asked to protect ‘front line’ services despite facing budget cut of 29.6%.
The story so far…Having moved to Brighton in August 2010, to start an MA in Fine Art at Brighton University, my first term featured, amongst other things, a temporary but disfiguring skin condition and an overwhelming sense of disorientation. I […]

Bayerns kept up the intense pressure on leaders Novia with a sublime performance against a bewildered Metronova. Three first half goals from their no2 striker helped the Bayerns cause but the boss was far from convinced. ‘There was a lot […]
It took me a long time to decide to do this MA Art and Design in Education and I am happy to say that I started it 3 weeks ago. I was concerned about whether to do MA Fine Art […]
Great day with brilliant totems made by Woodnewton School. Sound needs a bit more work tomorrow – electricians back to finish off. They have been wonderful beyond the call of duty.
Frieze, phone, talk … It felt more like Embassy week than Frieze week. I don’t remember ever being in a foreign embassy in London before and last week I was in three; German, Swedish and Norwegian. It was all art […]
So Sisyphus opens tonight and I myself am not there for the PV at Core Gallery for the first time so a bit nerve wracking but I leave it in more than competant hands. I am doing my art thang […]
The embellishment of international study resounds with the affect of writing and the scripture of applied materials to define a multidisciplinary art practice: but how do you pull yourself away from the developed peer structure of art school?
