Is there method in my madness.

NEW CONTEMPORARIES

I went to the new contemporaries show at the weekend and saw a few artists who seem to be dealing with what I think I might be dealing with.

Adam Bainbridge “I make drawings of places and objects from my past, often from memory, or referencing exisiting pieces of art or abstracted forms to create uncertain, psychological spaces”

Andrew Curtis “I make images of suburban dissonance by blurring physical and psychological reality. I want to question contemporary notions of anomie, the abject and the exotic”.

Bee Emmott “This work is created by both a conceptual and literal folding of space, that takes the form of a subject repeatedly handled until it gains a solidity of its own”.

One of the main things that has been emerging from my collection of images is formations – synchronised swimming, red arrows, soldiers, circles of people………. using the formation out of context makes an interesting slightly sinister image, possibly an ideal way to represent the human condition in the 21 century.

MORE STARTING POINTS

Driving home the other day I heard that the MOD had shut the UFO phone line that had been in operation for 50 years. An MoD statement on the matter says: “The MoD has no opinion on the existence or otherwise of extra-terrestrial life. However, in over 50 years, no UFO report has revealed any evidence of a potential threat to the United Kingdom.”

Also recently whilst sorting out my fathers flat I found some interesting photos.
