…I have two…   …square eyes… …but for my labours also a bag full of useful websites… …I am floating in a bubble of excellent information… …let the waters break, it’s time for the delivery of this overdue art baby… […]

So far there have been two anecdotes contributed from the cards in the gallery. There have been no responses by e-mail. I have started gathering some memories from different sources now and have three more interviews with keepers and gallery […]

Don’t know where time is going but days seem to be flying by. I’ve been here now for over a month and still struggling with my French, I guess you can’t learn that fast…. I have started to make some […]

Have filled in the pre-application form for the Welsh Heritage Lottery Fund. While I got some help from them before to do some of the interviews I now need more money for a print on demand book and a multimedia […]

Since the 'Publish!' exhibition came down, and whilst we take submissions for 'Serious Playtime!' (opening 8th November) Gallery Glue has become host to Newline and friends, a prestigious group of graffiti artists/designers who have also shown at the Baltic for […]

Morning Market Have taken some 200 images of the morning market outside the flat. These can form a kind of animation that I am fond of doing in Director. I take the photos using a stills camera and tripod. Cross-fading […]

Translations from Kelly I have the translations of the Tuanjiehu Park interviews back from Kelly, which is great news. It is interesting reading indeed. Here is an example of one – 1. What do cricket and cicada songs mean to […]

Some interesting artworks

and a few more. No image but Koh San Keum’s work at C5Art, Sanlitun is really worth a look [Korean Project].

Can’t seem to stop writing this blog tonight…. We are having a farewell bbq come show-and-tell night at Bei Gao on Tuesday 23rd. Quite a number of us are coming to the end of our residencies at the end of […]

FAKE This photo of the ‘Fucking Fake’ t-shirt is in my Whatever I Like book, now available at Timezone, 798 Dashanzi, Beijing. The installation continues at Pickled Art Centre, BeiGao, Beijing until Nov. 4. Recently I learned that fake city-citizenship […]

I cleared my workspace at the start of the week with the intension of having a concentrated creative splurge working on the drawings and photos I’ve made in the town over the last few months. But as usual things didn’t […]

'Beware of the artist' and 'Artists prohibited' – just some signs which I think the men in grey suits would like to pin on our door. Well thats what it felt like until last Wednesday when I took them round. […]

Gallery design, a few notes Don't have a sign so small that a visitor has to peer suspiciously into doorways and repeatedly walk in and out of porches to find your gallery. This is especially bad in a residential/neighbourhood watch […]

My intention this week was to start marking out the 2nd wall painting. This 2nd image involves drawing straight lines over 6 metres long – to make up a series of very long, thin triangular forms. In order to do […]

Everyone asks me, ‘what did I think about Berlin?' Everyone is interested. It is the buzz city now. Especially now, I should add, because Berlin, the city, the word, conjures up a charged frisson and always has. In all those […]

Injections I was shown this piece of veneer by Quentin who founded and belongs to the Staffordshire group. It is thoroughly garish, acid orange and electric blue with flashes of purple and yellow. I think it had been acquired from […]

Anna Puhakka For the past few months I have been working on creating a game. It is a satirical view on the art world and the life of an artist just trying to make it through. This game has worked […]

Sarah Stamp I have been finishing off the writing part of my public announcement, reading prime ministers speeches to get ideas. The announcement is quite detailed in places as I wanted to have the feel of government policies/acts of parliament, […]
