things to write about today...

Ok, things to write about today...


Firstly, I had a meeting with a group of student intern curators at Talbot Rice gallery about a show they have proposed around the subject of nothingness... I've had little contact with them other that an email I responded to regarding a shared interest in the subject and a follow up email asking me to attend the meeting... Upon arrival at TR I was led up a winding stair to a small room, in which there was as long table where there sat four girls. There was one chair on my side along with a jug of water. After a brief hello and even briefer introduction to the exhibition plan - that is, there will be one around the subject of nothingness - I was asked to put forward my proposals... ??? ...I told them that I didn't have any as I hadn't been asked for them and that I wasn't really expecting to be interviewed. One of the four promptly reassured me that this wasn't an interview, which is funny because it felt like one. After a while we started talking about my work and they expressed an interest in a couple of works, mainly the balancing work, which I started talking them through. One of the girls then asked if I'd go away and think about how my work might fit into one of their subheadings and proceeded to look puzzled when I tried to explain that it was up to them to decide if the work was appropriate and that I wouldn't be tailoring anything for them... All in all this 10 minute interview was a very strange experience but I have agreed to send them a proposal and we shall see how this relationship develops... I feel I may have offended them a little, (I tried not too,) but then I can't have been the only one...


Also,


I've printed some of the face paint drawings onto fancy paper and they look quite sexy. Doesn't take as long to blog that but they're quite nice things...

Things I did today...

In a move away from the overt face painting, I decided that today I would wear too many jumpers. Two jumpers is really just an extra jumper so I settled on three jumpers. This went largely unnoticed as one would expect. In one conversation about it it was described as a rather ambient work...


In other news, in response to an invitation from Steph and Lewis to do something with Siesta Pinwheel, I decided to kidnap the plan chest. I had decided that if S&L asked me where it was I'd tell them but they seemed quite content to play along, making a missing poster and wandering the corridors searching until they found it... It wasn't that hard to find... hardly revolutionary but why not...

Haven't blogged anything but GIF tests for a while...


Still feeling a bit lost.


Lots to do regarding degree show prep. mostly been pricing up walls... that's not really making work, is it...


Got new contemporaries application done and in, so thats good.


Kate G's exhibitions, Attention Seeker, opens/goes live tomorrow so will post details about that. (I'm in it.)


Have a meeting about Talbot Rice show next Tuesday, who knows what will come of that, or even what it is for that matter...


Few other things coming up which could/should be good but don't want to jinx them so won't go into details...


Just want to make some new work! Face paint is odd at best, don't know what to do with it... am I sticking with it because it's going to go somewhere or because I've nothing better to be doing? Need to mull... I am mulling, but can't help feeling I could be doing it better.


Have a weekend back in Manchester this weekend, no real chance to do any work. It might be a good thing... Hope something changes soon...


Does anybody read these when there are no pictures in?
