Off to the Market Square again to make pompoms. The project has moved on a bit and we are now aiming to make 15 giant ones to create an impact. As part of the whole project we have succeeded in […]
What a day! This morning I arived at Southam’s Cardall Collection to install my show to discover that the window the work was made for had been smashed over night, not a big hole but a hole never the less! […]
This week I visited the BIAD, School of Art Degree Show, I was really impressed! The production levels, contexts worked within, content and general presentation of some (if not MOST) of the work was outstanding! Much better than last year […]
With the Launch of CANNED Magazine Issue 3Collaboration, Exchange and Collective Action (May, 2012), I’ve had a lot to think about in regards to the role of art as a locus for exchange, conversation and, occasionally, political action. Working on […]
Are Great weekend 65 visitors to the open studios. I had some very good feedback about my new piece, which his always good. Doing the open studios for me always give me a boose of confidence as it’s away of […]

Since Wednesday the dismantling of the studios has been attacked with a real vigour that’s buoyed us all up, but it’s wearing off a little now. I’m tired. Poor Xanthus is exhausted by the amount of work still left to […]

Beginnings… We’ve had a few meetings already, but for me, it feels like this project is only just starting. I’ve never been too good at, as my dad calls it, “walking whilst chewing gum”; I’ve had a few other projects […]
Now in a more focussed mood: Veronica Sekules will give a talk about The Culture of The Countryside on the 13th June; a subject we at the Project Space are often musing on. In what way does our position in […]
This blog has been rather neglected, as my time has been so much taken up with show preparation. I now have three large paintings ready to show, and three etchings at the framers. Last week we packed up our studios, […]
In 1999 John Carson made a passionate call for a more rigorous approach to arming graduating art students with knowledge of where their work and practice fitted within the wider world and interfaced with audiences. Sarah Rowles, commissioned by a-n to research the state of professional practice provision on BA fine and applied art courses, offers a perspective on the situation now.
I have just sent out the first instalment of my mailing list! It read as follows: Welcome to the first instalment of the Ryan Hughes Projects Mailing List! I’ve got a few things going on over the next few months […]
I don’t have room for uncertainty. I’ve been through enough of it in my life and nothing rankles with me more. That’s why I need a plan, or a list, or some kind of diagram. And that’s why the last […]
Here, we profile a selection of courses offering postgraduate level study for artists seeking to develop their practice further within creative, supportive and critically challenging environments.
With arts organisations, particularly artist-led ones, facing a tricky financial future we are delighted to be given a £5,000 Awards for All Lottery funding to help raise cultural awareness and promote the arts in central Scotland. This afternoon sees the […]
Mapping Muswell – An N10 Paper Project is now Supported by The Arts Council for England and recieves Lottery funding! Hurrah! Over the weekend I held the first residency for the project at the Local Gallery in Muswell Hill. Nesteling […]
Art opens doors. Or gates. Since the sculpture is the main priority now that the time’s running out, I decided to devote the studio time to making the last cast in soap, and take the carving home. It’s easier doing […]
‘Measure twice cut once’ is the slogan our tecnician has had printed on her brand new CFAP t-shirt! All other things not show related have gone out of the window in the past week, and pretty sure that this week […]
Starting Point feels like a pretty apt title; it calls to mind the hesitancy over the first mark in a new sketchbook. Perhaps i should explain, bar sporadic Ballet classes aged 12, dance and I haven’t had much to do […]
