After placing an advert in AN, I waited eagerly for the responses. We are offering a residency in the French Pyrenees with the aim of creating land art using found and local materials. We thought that it would be interesting […]
I keep coming back to the blog to see if anything has 'happened' with it. I don't know what I am hoping for or expecting to happen. This hope has made me think about others and about reciprocation. Hirschhorn: "To […]
Bad Paintings-Simon Kennedy The current exhibition at the AirSpace Gallery gives another twist to the status of the celebrity. A mixture of smiling and disgruntled faces greets you as you enter the gallery space; familiar faces such as Jade Goody […]

Here is the strange thing about this job. I have family living in the region, not close family but cousins and their children, as well as a few Aunts. I only see them at weddings and funerals. But I feel […]
Well, it's been a while, but we've done the Unit 5 weekender and been interviewed by Future Radio, and have all come away from it happy and tired and feeling like we've done something new and challenging. More details in […]
Monday 22nd September 6-8.30pm Meeting with Dot to test out plans for Colchester. Images and sound ended up being very scary, like insects or other scuttling creatures. Discussed the mutual benefits of the collaboration: we’ve each learnt huge amounts about […]
This residency is making me think about images, specifically photographic images. Of course, I think about images a lot, but not necessarily about photos. Soon, I'm going to try to read with you what Rancière has to say about incommensurability. […]
I haven't updated the blog for a while due to holiday and lots of other activities taking precedent.It's good to be posting another message. While I was away, I had a handmade postcard put through my letterbox. The writer, Mr. […]
