Week 4
I spent most of this week getting together some work for Thursdays group crit. It was so useful to be back in a group crit situation, I felt quite annoyed and disappointed with myself afterwards. There was quite a group of us, 15 I think, we would each go to one of our spaces, the artist would introduce the work to be discussed, and then for 8 minutes, the group will talk about the work whilst the artist remains silent, before having 2 minutes to talk at the end. The format is useful, but it seemed obvious that we were all still getting to know each other.
My turn was pretty late in the session, and we were getting tired. There was some interesting comments that ranged from things moving in space, to optical illusions (oh dear) to 1952 (even more of an oh dear). It has definately given me food for thought. I needed a few days (and few beers) to digest it all. The studios are really coming to life now, I also got to have a play in the print studios which was fun.
