“Ask him, ask him!” She didn’t ask me. In the shop arranging letters on the fridge door before putting them outside. A guy, who had just watched the video loop of Steve McQueen throwing his baseball against the cooler wall, […]
“a passage cut underground” – Chambers dictionary definition of a tunnel. If what I’ve been building isn’t a tunnel, which is what I think I’ve been building and what I see when I look at it, what is it?
I think, at last, I may have some time, despite ongoing meetings and other stuff including domestic details. Only 15 more boxes to unpack. I have too much stuff – all collected over the years and forgotten about. I seem […]
Dominique here today. Didn’t blog last night as it was a manic busy day and when i got home i was absolutely exhausted. I put all the red washing in(my normal washing is almost touching the ceiling) and then collapsed […]
got this in my email – hurrah! Hello Rachel Your work has been selected by Katy Deepwell (feminist art critic and Reader in Contemporary Art, Theory and Criticism at University of the Arts, London and editor of n.paradoxa: international feminist […]
Sometimes, the things that can really tire you out are the ones you least expect. Hence the recent silence – sorry ’bout that. And I don’t have long… once Saulius has finished his freelance work, we’re off to some forest […]
Continued from last post… Tom’s team did a performance that articulated the US outsider artist Henry Darger. One of the jurors suggested it had been done before (what hasn’t?) but Rafal had never performed anything before and he did the […]
30/07/09 We arrived in Tbilisi in the early hours and stayed in an amazing homestay called Irine’s Place – a friendly place run by a woman who never seems to sleep and has connections everywhere… Spent the day sightseeing around […]
Hello again, for my second post of the day! Not a long one though, as we have lots of dying/painting things red and washing and ironing to do in preparation for the grand finale tomorrow! Today, three lovely ladies kindly […]
14th July 09 Seathwaite Tarn Arrived at the reservoir after a walk up the sodden tracks from the road below gaining a first sight of the reservoir’s dam from down the valley. As we approached, the sound of overflow water […]
23rd July 09 Stony Tarn A long drive into Eskdale across changing landscapes of mixed woodland, open fell side, and near and distant crags brought us to the walk up to Stony Tarn. We walked past Eel Tarn, feeling relieved […]
The Summer Art Party is tomorrow! Eek! The feedback from John Jones has been fantastic already with clients really engaging with the works. Tomorrow there will be about 600 people heading through the doors. I feel faint. I actually really […]
Apologies if this becomes part Linzblog, part paidblog for a while – it all seems to seep through somehow! On my quest to find independent artists groups: I found one! Just by accident and some word of mouth asking.. There […]
Today I’ve sorted a table top and trestles for the incubator and also a dustbin (piles of wood shavings, scrunched up masking tape. and paper cuttings). The Incubator space in the basement of Exeter Phoenix. The desk faces a window […]
Finished putting up yesterday at about 6pm. The whole experience of hanging and organising the work was rather a rollercoaster of emotions. The 3 days seemed like one long blur of frantic drawing, climbing up and down ladders, a bit […]
Had some fun playing around with some images in monoprint. Remembered that my maternal grandmother was born and spent the first thiteen years of her life in China. Her home had a number of Chinese silk scrols hanging on the […]
The Live East closing event was a great success: all the artists had around 20 minutes each to present documentation and discuss their pieces, with questions and comments thrown in by the audience. Everyone said that they’d found the project […]
Always seem to post when I’m busy at work… good to have licquorice tea breaks to type I guess. Have been working on some line drawings that I’ll post up here at the weekend. Got my essay in – that’s […]
JULIET- It’s the night before the first opening. I stayed up until half five last night finishing off a couple of drawings to go in the show but am still miraculously wide-awake. Its quite a nice feeling, I think, when […]
I have been back from Inishlacken for some weeks and am still reflecting on the experience. The work I made on there was not as successful as I had hoped it would be – but then what is success? Is […]
