I have just blogged on my other blog (OutofOffice) where I am blogging about an exhibition proposed for the beginning of next year (January 2010). It made me think about this blog and how I am neglecting it, I seem to be thinking this with the absence of much else to do – in other words I do not work as such at the minute I have just been spending some time updating my online presence.
I have recently re-located to Glasgow and have joined the Transmission Gallery as a member, for the price of a day of invigilation: I opted for this in order to hopefully meet some new people and get some more contacts. Take a look at my online profile with a picture of a mixed media piece I did earlier this year and also a little more information about my practice: and a biography!

The best thing about this website is that you are searchable by tagged key words that relate the you practice: for instance if you go to the website and click on Drawing I will come up, if you click on Conceptual I will come up, if you click on Animation I will come up… etc.
I have also produced an online profile on LinkedIn:
This seems like a good resource and a good way to network with people: you can upload information about current and past projects or employment. You also upload a picture of yourself, which is horrible but also I guess for the purposes of signification (I tried to upload a picture of my artwork but it would not let me).
Another good thing about this is that it lets you link to other online applications like google presentations and slide shows of work, I am yet to get my head around this though.
Google is a very useful tool
