thank goodness for the break. i’m returning to thinking about things i’ve not had space to consider and the first of these has been the about me on my website. i took the decision to have an about me section […]
The London-based Slovenian artist has enjoyed a “madly busy” year, with a heightened profile in the UK year following a solo show at Baltic and a nomination for the Jarman Award.
Come April, when the news of the bursary was doing the rounds on social media, it dawned on me; this might be a much bigger project than I intended to take on. I was pretty stunned by the prospect of, […]
The Glasgow-based artist was nominated for the Jarman Award this year, had solo presentations at Glasgow International and Frieze London, and was featured in the New Museum triennial, ‘Songs for Sabotage’.

The London-based artist’s solo exhibition at Gasworks earlier this year featured a sound work described as “a black queer algorithm across generations, locations and political affiliations”. Here Ifekoya answers our end-of-year questionnaire with a playlist of six tracks.
This year saw Laura Sillars move from Sheffield’s Site Gallery to Middlesbrough’s MIMA. She reflects on a ‘wild’ 2018 that has been made all the better by the many artists she has worked with.
On the Stride and Sketch course, we have a different theme each week. Moving objects/animals are a huge challenge for participants. To make it a little easier we look at trees, plants and the urban landscape in the first few […]

Helen Cammock on a year of professional highs and huge personal loss that has also been a time for reflection and thought about her life and artistic practice.
Day 1: First light the Dogs on the beach stretching themselves. They take in the sunrise. By mid morning the sand is boiling and the dogs retreat to the shade to pant and keep cool. I have little time to […]
Arriving in India after 22 hour flight is always disorientating but I find myself in a taxi from Bhubaneswar airport, 2 o’clock in the morning, talking to the driver about World Hockey Championships, Cricket and PM Modi. The streets are […]
In the last post, I tried to lay down my problem when documenting my performances. I settled on the fact that the minutiae of details within a proposal document might shed light on how submission into an artistic economy is […]
As with all projects, its been quiet here for a while, but I’m happy to say, we have submitted a funding bid to start the ball rolling on our new arts project. Initially we started with big ideas, nothing wrong […]

Throughout the bursary I have been working both on taking a piece through all stages of the casting & finishing process and intermittently working on Scartworks other commissions as and where I was needed. I’m not quite sure which part […]
Interrupts: The very first programmable computer, the ENIAC, could just run a single program with no user interaction. To cope with intervention by users with early devices such as punched card readers and paper tape readers, the “interrupt” was invented. […]
