Having spent some time reviewing my video work, thinking about ways i could relate it more to the built enviroment i’ve been doing some location hunting… I’ve been looking at brutalist buildings around town – central library, a few multi-storey carparks and have been hunting sites within these buildings that i could recreate performances i did in PS2. So armed with a tape measure and camera – i managed to find some possiable sites to re-shoot my work. Intrestingly the spaces i found we’re a little larger than the one i worked with in PS2 which startes to make me strech and really work to push myself between the walls – which i’m quite pleased with as it shows detirmanation is needed to make the most of public sites.
I’ve been painting up some of the footballs i have previsouly used as well so that they will leave their mark on space’s when used in the future.
Been busy with paper work as well… applications for the burslem art school craft fair – i’m sort of curating a BIAD stall to raise money for our degree show which is keeping me busy. Filling in an application for the royal society of birmingham artists’ show, although i’m not sure what i want to submit yet!! And am arranging a trip to Lincoln to see friends as well as dropping work off for the show i mentioned in a previous post.
We have guests from Utrecht arriving tomorrow and i’m heading out to pick the up from the airport – then on friday we start installing the mapping 1 show with them.
So all’s good right now…
