Lucinda Holmes has recently re-located to China and become involved with an emerging arts centre called [the studio] that is working towards developing an artists community in Shanghai. In this article she records her impressions of the galleries she has encountered in the city, and discusses how experiencing a different culture has effected her work as an artist.

Kye Wilson, 'The Gloaming', Film, Dec 2008. Photo: Kye Wilson. Kye Wilson uses the moving image to blur the realms of filmmaking and video art. He uses the technical expertise of conventional narrative filmmaking combined with the experimental and unconventional approach of video art. His works have been exhibited in both cinematic and art gallery environments nationally and internationally.

hmmm…. I can't decide how best to design my Mini Doll Gallery, so I'm consulting an architect for advice…. (it's my sister!) It should be as cutting edge design as The Guggenheim or White Cube galleries…. http://www.prodesigner.co.uk/modelmaking.html Research is key! […]
Today, I've mostly been using a rotary tool to mechanically scratch paint off the base of a brick column. This has succeeded in giving me a sore back and knees, but as resolutely failed to do what I wanted it […]
I actually wrote this post just before Christmas, but never published it. I've just tweaked it a little to bring it up to date. The week leading up to Christmas was quite manic, I was just looking forward to a […]
I was very pleased to find out that my piece ‘House’ got accepted into the Margaret Harvey Open exhibition. Finally, after months of it sitting looking at me in the studio, feeling sorry for its self, rejected and unconsidered, it […]
I'm expecting a really quiet week on the art front. I won't be into the studio until Friday as I have a packed week full of my son's Christmas parties and concert and Christmas shopping. I am currently awaiting the […]
I'm going to write a post-performance offload of the Headfuck piece I did at the IMT on Friday 12 Dec. I attended only two rehearsals, so I started a day later than everyone else and had to be the new […]

Rather bizarre experience today – I received an email directly addressed to me from a-n about these blogs, only to find I was quoted in the first couple of lines. It’s mildly peculiar to read something addressed to you, that […]
Last Saturday we successfully hosted an informal platform event at Norwich Arts Centre. It was an opportunity for some of our collective to try out performances to a small audience, and then discuss the outcomes afterwards. Rebecca Wigmore opened, with […]
