Lots of work and illness is to blame for my lack of posting recently. But, throat is pretty much recovered now and probably meant I had a good, if slightly painful, break from things. It was nice to get some […]
Terry Smith discusses the Experimental Art School.
I am certainly not someone who claims to hate Mondays but if I were then Mondays, that fall within Cerbyd time would have to be renamed. They could be Cerbydays instead if it did not sound so unimaginative. The light […]
A-n’s Collaborative relationships series exposes the working relationships between artists and the wide range of professionals they choose to collaborate with. In this article, artist David Cotterrell and Projects Director Carolyn Black reflect on the realisation of a unique and demanding work for the Forest of Dean Sculpture Trail.
I have recently attended a session organised by Emerge http://www.emergelondon.org.uk/events/item/28 – Educating the Educators: Engaging with Gallery Education. The session was run by Emma Hart and Leanne Turvey who were joined by Jane Sillis from engage. The session predominantly focused […]
To stand the test of time, arts organisations re-immerse themselves into their values to stay ahead and the Centre for Contemporary Arts (CCA) in Glasgow is no exception.
Then there was the lecture and tutorial with Fred Mann. This was extremely helpful; not only did he go into great detail about gallery systems and how to make an artwork marketable, but he also gave me a good deal […]
The blog came to a bit a stand still at the end of October. After a bit of a break I have missed doing the writing and will be writing again about events, research, work and future associated projects. The […]
So much has happened within the last couple of days. We had a lecture by Martin Parr on Wednesday and then had a seminar and tutorials with Fred Mann (of Fred Gallery, London) on Thursday last week. Firstly, Martin Parr’s […]
Setting the tone (or: ‘good art takes courage’) Post by Anthony Schrag Part 1 Being the first resident, I feel there’s a lot of pressure on me to set the right kind of tone the Futures programme 2011 via this […]

11 February – 12 March 2011
I went to the opening of a show on Friday, works by two artists I vaguely know. The first: Doris Schlapfer, a friend of an artist who lives in the village and the second: Patrick Sauze who coincidently owns a […]
Kate V Robertson (part 1) February 10, 2011 I’m now ten days into my Creative Lab residency at the CCA, and I am getting quite accustomed to the luxury of a huge, heated studio. The views on to Sauchiehall Street […]
The last couple of weeks have been diverse! Amongst the things that have happened: Matt Roberts I had the great honour of curating the Salon Photo prize which was very generous of Matt to allow me such responsibility ( and […]
I was and still am reflecting on the assessment feedback from the last couple of weeks. I spent Tuesday building supports for new pieces of work and then an absolute age preparing chalk and half chalk grounds for them. It […]

Update: New Year’s Resolutions & January 2011 Giving up sugar It is now 39 days since I last ate any sugar – chocolate, cakes, sweets, biscuits, sugar itself, etc. And far from feeling deprived, I actually feel liberated! Perhaps, unconsciously, […]
Over the weekend, I went to Cheltenham to set up “Down”, ready for the Open West preview on Friday. The curators have kindly given “Down” its own dramatically dark room in which to be displayed and as I worked away […]
Coming back to that little question on critically analysing the contextual content of my practice or what the hell is my work doing? ‘I have a dream’, it’s terrible that such famous quotes can just boil down to some women […]
It’s a familiar feeling to anyone who has found themselves trapped in an endless cycle internet browsing- somewhere, out there, is the article, text or information that’s going to make sense of it all and make something click, as it […]
How to write? Just received my February a-n Magazine and I see that on p.16 an extract from my New Year’s Resolutions (Blog 15) has been quoted: ‘See more shows and write more reviews. Thinking about what we have seen, […]

Assessment Feedback Today was assessment feedback day, after we did the peer assessments, the tutors assessed us and our feedback forms were waiting for us in the office this morning before our one to ones. We were assessed on our […]
I’ve just spent an hour and a half shortening and shortening an email to get it into a 500-character contact form. It was an introductory email trying to describe this project and ask for advice all at the same time, […]
The first month So, as you might have noticed – I’ve started this blog at the end of January, so in theory nearly a month into the residency, but in practice I haven’t really started yet. This is frustrating but […]
