The Brindley, Runcorn
21 February – 11 April 2009
Madness ensues. Life is more hectic than ever before – Work with Liverpool Biennial is hotting up and the pace is getting fast now, been working with David Bade, a Dutch artist based in Curacao and Holland who is documenting […]
We are having another meeting where we hope to get the Association started proper with a steering group, constitution and stated purposes. This meeting is on the 28th of February at 2pm in the East Hall of Darlington Arts Centre. […]
Thinking more about Sue's theme of the panoptic eye, and conversations with Nichola about surveillance and data bases.. p
Feedback was good. I apparently have a gift for editing (not sure how get in and out as quick as you can without doing anything complicated counts). Still, the main issue with my work is raising the roduction standards, and […]
Having been away for a bit I am suddenly rethinking the whole raft of meanings that can be associated with the words “A Sense of Place” I have begun to rethink meanings & interpretations and attempting to get back to […]
The kids are back at school after half term, so now I'm re-focussed on work again. I've submitted my proposal for the business competition in the hope I can achieve funding for LAN activities. I've been meaning to go to […]
"I am sorry to inform you but your application has been unsuccessful etc.etc." Yes , you've guessed – another proposal for an art work has been turned down. Now I do feel miffed at this because I had spent the […]
I have just had a read through the comments on this blog and it has given me a lot to think about. I also feel very glad not to be alone! One comment reminded me of something that used to […]
I haven't submitted a post for a while, things have been really hectic what with work and art. I just haven't had the time to actually write a post. I've been into the studio on Friday and Monday for the […]
As a nu-Luddite (I have an Ipod) I have only just worked out how to get images on here. Wow. Embarrassing. My work seems to be going well. A brief worry that I would have to produce as much as […]
The workshops at the Arc were the first practical (as in 'making' rather than 'talking') interaction with local people and functioned as the opening events to the project that I am working on in Caterham. The two afternoons went well, […]
I picked up my piece from the Surface Gallery yesterday. I always sense there is a strange feeling hanging in the air when taking down work at the end of a show. I'm not down about it as such but […]
on Saturday I visited the other side of Limehouse, around the marina, the part that used to be named the Regents Canal dock, where the timber yards used to be (now Limehouse Basin). the place has been massively developed, stylish […]
I'm still having wild dreams where I am hauling projectors up endless dusty staircases, unable to find the right hotel room. I just haven't had a moment to mentally or emotionally process anything yet, having had an old mate and […]
this is how it feels!!
this is how it feels!!
Winter here has been particularly hard, cutting wood and frequently loading the fire has figured highly, but strangely for this time of year has been eclipsed by trips to Berlin and London for exhibitions and screenings and an exciting collaboration […]
I dislike art when it becomes all about the admin.
Sally Booth beat competition from artists across the UK to win the annual a-n Magazine March 2009
The recent flurry of arts consultations across the UK has raised the question of artists’ representation on decision-making fora. Here we report on developments surrounding AIR and the proposed Creative Scotland merger, and the willingness (or otherwise) of others to listen to artists’ opinions.
It is with some regret that we have to inform a-n that owing to the credit crunch our income recently has been so low that we are not able to make any awards to artists this year. Nor is it clear whether we will be able to fund awards next year.
