Diary of an artist writer online

I am a convert to Twitter. Find me at : www.twitter.com/titchtwitter.

Why? because of the immediacy and ease of use. Take my latest tweet which allows me – based in Scotland- to participate in a discussion about a London project:

“Asked on BBC Radio this morning if standing on a plinth in Trafalgar Square is art, Anthony Gormley replied:

“Is it life?”

I reckon this project is going to prove to be enormously popular with the public and awaken a good deal of interest in contemporary art amongst folk who think art is elitist, “not for them” and all about money and posh galleries.

Glasgow School of Art have asked for a copy of “The Children of Craig-y-nos” for their library, partly because they always want work by alumni for their collection and also, the librarian tells me, because of the increasing interest amongst students in the links between art and science crossover.

They have also mentioned it on the college blog: http://gsaartdesign.blogspot.com/2009/06/ann-shaw-and-wellcome-trust-centre-for.html
