Feel disappointed that I didn’t respond to something I read in another blog yesterday evening. It said something like: “corrupt politicians, corrupt bankers and corrupt reporters where are the corrupt artists?” I tried to find the blog again this morning […]
The good news is, all our Lithuanian artist friends are great. And Miga has organised for us to present our work to each other at the Contemporary Art Centre, the CAC, tomorrow afternoon. The bad news is, we’re very worried, […]

http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture/2009/jul/15/yba-… The Guardian interviews four graduates fresh out of Goldsmiths – these lot don’t seem to be letting the recession dictate things for them..
Today I was thinking about artists who write. There’s quite a lot of them (us?). Picasso has at least one thick volume of collected writings and stories published… Louise Bourgeois’s creative writing has just started appealing to me. With quite […]
Teresa here. How wet, chilly and miserable was Preston today. We had to crank up the music to lift our spirits and with the morning ironing and a bit of dancing we kept warm. We had a lovely lady help […]
This blog is about the 5 weeks during summer 2009 that we spent in the Caucasus making collaborative work and researching the local arts scene and the residency we attended at Art Villa Garikula in Garikula, Georgia. Supported by Artquest […]
So today’s the big day. We may be doing some aesthletics morning exercises, once everyone’s up. A few who went out on the town last night met one of the Lithuanian artists, mid 20s, very nice, lives in Vilnius, hopes […]
Exploring the Invention of Hysteria Image can be something I produce to say who I want you to believe I am or it can be something I produce to explore who I am. Images produced to explore the authentic or […]
Handed in my portfolio yesterday for the Gateway assessment. See what they say next week!
I am in the back of the shop with the lights off, setting up a video camera so that I can film an hour at lunchtime, hopefully ‘to capture’ passers-by looking in. I try plugging in the power adapter and […]
A bunch of us are just back from the flea market, and we’re ready to help Paulius carry some old furniture from the dorm to the studios. We ain’t just the talent – we’re talented labourers, too. I’ve always wanted […]

Wednesday Spent the day trying to write my statement… got very frustrated. No idea what to write but I found some inspiration in the end. Yesterday I followed a train of thought about the west bleeding into the east and […]
Thursday London. Busy day, I mean up at the crack of dawn kind of day. Saw the Tate Britain and the Hayward. Some weird and wonderful stuff present in both of the galleries. I especially liked Richards Long’s exhibit from […]
Friday Birds. I had a sudden flash of something and I decided to follow it. I saw a feather on the ground and figured birds are universal – they are everywhere. And there are hundreds of different birds, thousands, but […]

Monday I am definitely going to use the Origami Crane as a base for my final proposal. Unless I change my mind. I spent today brainstorming as many ideas as possible and hating the lack of ideas coming out. I’m […]
Tuesday I hate paper Cranes. But I persevered. I took lots of photos, took my cranes outside and photographed them. Trying to finalize my ideas. Considered the use of mirrors. Mirrors make you look at yourself. By putting them in […]
