Thanks to everyone who voted for AIR council – I’m very happy indeed to be on board. I saw this ‘opportunity’ on twitter today via Lizzie Hughes: http://tinyurl.com/cma3vce (@lizzieh) So, the rough facts: “BEARSPACE is at the centre of the […]
I saw this today and wanted to share it: http://graduatefog.co.uk/2011/1815/cozette-mccreery-sister-by-sibling-fashion-internship/ It’s a funny/deadly serious response to an interview that appeared in Vogue relating to internships. What struck me most was that the designer – who uses interns – defends the […]
Morning! This year I got shortlisted for a commission and a residency that ended up being awarded to 1) a social enterprise and b) a design agency. They were small/medium to large things – between 2 – 12k, so substantial […]
Watching the strikes with interest (online) today. I just thought I would repeat something my husband said last night. He has an eviable ability to see all sides of things and be extremely level headed and articulate in discussion. I […]
The Guardian Culture Professionals Network is hosting a live chat on internships this Friday: http://www.guardian.co.uk/culture-professionals-ne… This seems to be a reaction to the ACE advice on internships as well as the recent unemployment statistics. http://www.artscouncil.org.uk/publication_archive/… Milica Lewis (@Lionartprojects on twitter) […]
AIR Council elections are open so please make sure you vote if you’re an AIR member. My email from Popularis went to my junk mail so do check if you don’t think you’ve had one yet. Also – ahem – […]

This open letter to artists was written by Sara Wookey, a dancer, after she auditioned for Marina Abramovich at MoMA L.A. It’s been doing the rounds on twitter and facebook, so apolgies if you’ve already seen it. http://theperformanceclub.org/2011/11/open-letter-… In it […]
Feeling the love. Twitter is my favourite at the moment. I talk a lot of rubbish but occasionally, really great discussion breaks out and people share things you perhaps wouldn’t expect. I’m @speedina if you’re not on there already. Yesterday […]
This is a section from a press release by Neelie Kroes, Vice-President of the European Commission responsible for the Digital Agenda Who feeds the artist ? http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?refe… “1000 euros a month is not much to live off. Often less than […]
Bye Ceri. So Ceri Hand Gallery is leaving Liverpool in early 2012 and setting up shop in London. This came as a big shock to many of us in Liverpool, although we could understand it perfectly at the same time. […]
Ethics & Interns This event looks really interesting next week – looking at Internships and all the problems they bring along. http://ethicsandinterns.eventbrite.com/ Seems pretty pertinent given the whole slave labour/Tesco situation going on with the benefits system. http://www.guardian.co.uk/society/2011/nov/16/youn… I hate […]
