Nikki and I are now independently considering all that happened and was collected during INVIGILATOR : DIGBETH. We have a vast amount of material. The audio of the workshop is being listened to over and over again by Nikki who […]
My question to you is At what point do you tell your parents that you've made a video of yourself sewing your fingers together for the 'sake of your art' and that you plan on gluing your eyes with eyelash […]
It has been quite a week of sitting bowed over applications. I do wonder why the anticipation of forms is always so completely different to the actual experience of them. I tend to quite enjoy myself once I get going. […]
Project: Drawing room intervention with Rick Creed at the Tate Liverpool next week. 9.30am-12 and 1pm-4.30 come along… contrast between life model, long poses and the resulting marks with short, sometimes flowing movement between postures you (VERY) rarely get a […]
Exhausted…just finished turfing a clients lawn. This may have been my last garden project. No phone calls. My garden business may have to close. This is not unexpected and totally understandable in this uncertain economic climate. No one wants to […]
Finally here is a partial project description, it is for FRED the exhibition in Cumbria to which I am sending a proposal tomorrow.: “The Dungbeetle and Sisyphus” A narrative, humorous and maybe semi-tragic tale and live art performance piece that […]
One of the central themes of the residency involves people’s reaction to situations that provoke frustration. There has been plenty of this throughout the last few weeks, and it seems that such an experience is woven onto the fabric of […]
Yesterday I was cutting up doors. On the face of it, I’ve spent better Saturday mornings, but after beating decades of hard-set gloss paint from secret screws, and jigsawing my way around come convoluted silhouettes, it wasn’t been that bad […]
The main project that is running through the residency looks at how the participants see themselves, and again utilises methods that that involve a loss of control. By feeding instructions to the participants on a limited basis, and confounding their […]
The plan is use the doors as barriers, rather than as aids to movement. Having sufficient numbers of them in the exhibition space is pretty crucial for the plan to work. I need a maze like affair; with anthropomorphised doors […]
These blogs are probably going to read a bit disjointed. I re-entered my second post this morning, and was rewarded with a complete deletion of my entire file on the a-n site. “Is good for meditation” said Wang-Du, a Tibetan […]
Easter vacation but the studios are still open for unattended working. Have been working on more monoprints; I'm still playing around with groups of images for the final show. I'm building up a directory of shapes and images that will […]
Our degree show at the university starts on the 22nd of May. We will then take the exhibition to the Truman Brewery in Brick lane, London, where it will be open from the 3rd – 7th July, as part of […]
A frustrating day today. I was all motivated to work some more on my large painting only to find that it was still soaking wet. Too wet to risk painting back into it. It looks as though it will probably […]
In November 2007, David was awarded the annual Go Make! bursary. This years brief involved a response to a quote by the writer Ossie Stuart, who puts forward the suggestion that "…there is a temptation to represent the experience of […]
BA (Hons) Fine Art.
With reference to the production of inter-disciplinary visual arts, Charlotte Frost indicates the types of activities involved, art forms which respond well to this style of collaboration and some of the difficulties experienced by production agencies in working in this […]
Charlotte Frost on some of the production activities of the Newcastle- and London-based Forma, drawing out different strands of its programme including curation, representation, initiation, distribution and public art.
This article by Furtherfield.org founders and Directors Ruth Catlow and Marc Garrett was originally published in Coding Cultures: A Handbook, commissioned by Francesca da Rimini and d/lux/MediaArts in 2007.
