I graduated with a first class BA(Hons) Fine Art from BIAD. Then I was an artist. Los of things happened, insted of rambling about them all I’ll start at the begining of this week and go from there.
Monday I went over to Birmingham to collect a load of material I had left there over the summer… I now have an extensive collection of chipboard and hardboard waiting to be needed.
I had a meeting with The Leamington Spa Museum and Art Gallery about doing casual gallery assiatant work with them and am waiting to hear about the outcome of that chat. Whilst talking about TLSMAAG; they have a show called LabCraft opening next week that looks excellent… I might write a review on that once I’ve seen it which will appear over on interface!
Wednessday I tried cutting a 200x enlarged replica of a simcard out of chipboard and hated how rought it came out… I also recieved some marble samples in the post and am thinking about making / having made a carved marble and cast bronze monument to the simcard.
Today I had a meeting with the head of the Cardell Collection in Southam, Warwickshire, a collection of local history artefacts and documents and it looks likely that I will be doing a series of projects in response to these items or will be conducting a residency of sorts with them… but will post more info on this when it becomes relevant!
I’ve also been offered the chance to DJ at an event in Leamington Spa and I think I’m going to play a lot of architecture refrencing structural pieces from labels like entr’acte, warp, ghostbox as well as some sound pieces I’ve been working on myself…
On a side note – it feels good to be blogging again!
