Time seems to be shooting by, I have been so busy that I just forgot to diarise what I’ve been doing. I am stressing a bit about time, saw a great quote today which sums it up– Time is what we want most, but… what we use worst. ~William Penn.
The solicitors holding the competition met this week to view all the presentation boards so we should find out the results very soon which is good a lot of work went into the designs by all of us, actually felt guilty doing it when I should have been concentrating on my core work really.
I have been collecting & recycling objects, I love the way being at college works, we all help each other out, three of my friends have given me broken musical instruments already, I am enjoying the monotony of taking them apart, cataloguing each piece so that they will all ‘fit’ together again of they were ever to be rebuilt. Rebuilding them is not part of the plan, I want people to explore the boundaries between art & everyday life, wonder why an instrument can become a piece of art, question the presentation of it in it’s many pieces. Music is a huge part of most people’s life whether they know it or not via radio, cd’s or ipods.I feel people will relate to a musical instrument even if it takes on a different form. Think of the humorous ‘Loophonium’ or ‘Harpic-phone’ by Fritz Spiegl., it has been a huge hit on display at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool since it’s acquisition.
Also been working my way around the many Biennial art works there are to see, it’s the long night tomorrow which I am looking forward to. I’m taking a group on a tour of the various galleries and public art pieces which stay open until 11pm for one night only, should be really good, I am full of flu but will wrap up and have a brandy to warm the cockles.
