a networked practice

I’ve just had some prints delivered for work at Southams Cardall Collection; I’m really pleased with them and can’t wait to see them installed! Unfortunatly I have to wait at least 2 weeks before I get to see this due to working on the install at Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum (all of which is going well by the way!).However, with ths post are some photos of the prints which have just been delivered and the mock-up I made of how it will actually exist in the space!

Work also continues on the publication that is being made to coincide with this display and the first two pages are currently with the printers, subsequent pages and the other pieces of work which are going to come with the publication are being either printed by myself or with a diffrent printers using diffrent papers and inks,etc… and will then all be hand bound and packaged by myself n the studio!

I’ve also been digitising my mailing list, so if you would like to recieve updates about my activities (and probably publications, prints, etc…) via post and/or email please do send me your name and relevent addresses to [email protected] , updates arn’t that frequent, I promise!

Had a day in Birmingham today (oh how I’ve missed you) as I was standing in at Grand Union. It was Reynir Hutber’s show Stay Behind the Line which was being presented as a part of Fierce Festival. It was a great show which explored “mediated images, politics of containment, security and observation”, this subject matter and the excelent production led to be becoming massively paranoid around the middle of the day but I got through it! Its open for another 7 days… I recommend you go and investgate!

For at least 3 hours!

I also took the oppertunity to hunt down some of the Raqs Media Collective billboards as a part of 48 Sheet which were really good to see! I do like Raqs!

This week has seen a lot of work put in at Leamington Spa Art Gallery and Museum… hence not so much making time has been spent… been up to a few things though!

A-(Discussion)-Board is almost done, just needs one final coat of blackboard paint and its done… ready to be shipped off and exhibited and used (hopefully).

I’ve pieced togeather one of the Marking the Internet and the Physical Markers with new steel cable and have packed it up ready to be shipped off next week for a show in Liverpool, more details on which I will post soon!

I’ve been getting some post which has been interesting; I got some flyers to drop into work from Aby who is curating [S T A T E] an evening of performance, video and live action in Birmingham. I also recieved a wedge of A-N Magazines which feature myself and Flowlosopha in the digital partners article.

I’ve continued work on the Southam Cardall Collection publicaton and have been getting quotes back for printing… I’ve decided that each page is being printed on diffrent paper and folded into the publication by hand in the studio… I’ll post more info on this when things start happening, in the mean time heres a photo of the publication mock-up I made… The publication, when made will be in an edition of 100 and I’ve not yet work out if its going to be free or not…
