Hurrah, a-n is out and my letter is published!There is another interesting letter there and a scary one from the RA…. I hope I have given the argument about open submissions a slightly different insight. I guess I shall find […]
Someone expressed an interest in setting up studios on the ground floor at Harrington Mills. He had seen my blog. However, I went through the sums and showed him that it would be too expensive and quite risky. It’s a […]
We can only guess at the number of visitors who came to the Open Studios. Some signed in, but many didn’t. We estimated about 500 people… which isn’t bad on a tiny marketing budget. A great weekend! After little movement […]
Last night was the launch of HMS Open Studios 2010 and proved to be the best ever. There were lots of interesting high profile Sideshow events in Nottingham so the competition was really hot. However, people from 8wks to 80yrs […]
‘Ways in’ for dancers and artists to the complex conversation happening between dance and visual art. The influence of dance on other artforms was recently highlighted by a series of major exhibitions: ‘Diaghilev and the Golden Age of the Ballets […]
Titled ‘Alexis Investigates: Dance and Visual Arts’ this series of articles will offer ‘ways in’ for dancers to the complex conversation that is happening between dance and visual art. I am Information and Communication Officer at Dance UK and also […]
October 27th 2010 It feels a real privilege to be working with Writle College/CADE a diverse, brilliant educational institution, where I can feel there is a true focus in the work they are doing. So I have to first thank […]
We are warming up to the open studios launch on friday night. Professor Lim is flying over from Korea for the preview of his show in HMS Exhibition space too. All v exciting. This year there’s lots of competition as […]
Artists Studio Company has launched a major new public gallery in Southwark.
This month’s bites.
Two north west projects are creating links between artists, artist-led groups and creative communities.
Profiling studio and workshop facilities around the country, plus ambitious exhibition projects that are engaging with local communities.
As I mentioned at the end of my last blog, I’ve started an MA. I’ve joined fellow Artists Talking bloggers Abbi and Christina at Wimbledon. So far, it’s just been a case of getting into the studios, doing loads of […]
The embellishment of international study resounds with the affect of writing and the scripture of applied materials to define a multidisciplinary art practice: but how do you pull yourself away from the developed peer structure of art school?
Lim Young Kyun’s large scale photographs of Antarctica are installed… and v impressive. It’s hard to believe these alien frozen landscapes exist on earth. The studios aren’t exactly tropical at the moment so we may advise visitors to wear woolly […]
Wow, so it has been nearly a month since I have written a blogpost! There is so much to tell but where to begin. It has been dizzyingly busy. Since my last post we had the Deptford X fortnight. South […]
Its been mentally busy so this blog post is a precursor to one where I actually talk about things but in the interim: I am delighted to have been selected by Liv Pennington to start a game of Nepartism! http://nepartism.wordpress.com/2010/10/06/october-rosalind-davis/ […]
I have been invited to a speed networking event next Friday to pass on my experiences to young graduates in Derby. I usually avoid these networking events like the plague but I’ve accepted this opportunity because it is focussed. I’ts […]
One spin off already from Forth Valley Open Studios is that last weekend five artists in Stirling got together and organised their own mini Open Studios weekend – and it was a great success! Other spin-offs include a new gallery […]
Open studios went well – if a little quiet due to engineering works on the tube. I had some very positive feedback on the work – the map initially draws people in as they can’t resist trying to read it, […]
This month I’ve spent some happy hours reading the Artists Talking blogs. I’ve been picking a “Choice Blog” for the month, and landed gladly upon David Minton (see this page here). Separately, I’ve been struck by the role of the […]
I am not required to write a dissertation to complete my degree. Instead at NTU Fine Art students are required to hand in 7 staged pieces of writing beginning with a statement of intent and including two 1000 word essays […]
Well, the first Trossachs Open Studios weekend got off to a very wet start. I had some visitors that weekend from China so I took the opportunity to show them a side of British life they had never seen before. […]
Footnotes: the emerging artist On Open Studios My friend’s Open Studios make me cringe, rather like Open Houses do. It’s either other artists wanting to look at the size of the studio-space/house or women with large buggies, and bored partners […]
Taking a trip to Birmingham today has got me wanting to write, although as usual lacking in time. A new set of shows opened at the Ikon, Ikon Eastside, Eastside Projects and Vivid just last weekend. The highlights of the […]
