critique - a-n The Artists Information Company

Yesterday, we had our first crit since [starting] installing our work for assessment and degree show. I found this really useful, with a lot of suggestions and thoughts for improvements – and some very useful feedback on some bits that […]

The work has now been finished, so its time for a crit. When my fellow students stepped in between my work, I started getting comments. – You can see every side of it – It almost becomes three shows. One […]

The format of paintings displayed In today’s crit, some of the comments about the work were aimed on the format of the paintings, how they are displayed etc. One of the comments mentioned how the painting’s cropped format makes the […]

The above image shows the notes that I made in the Crit that we had yesterday – which was extremely helpful, productive and affirming for me. Crits are an area that I felt that I have really grown in this […]

Flask conversation / dialogue diagram

Blueberry tea conversations.

10 years ago. Still on with Blah Blah Blah. Installation at South Square Centre, Thornton, January 2010.

Flask conversations…

I making a contribution to FLASK publication inviting people for conversations with their flask of favourite beverage. Conversations about flasks, art, life, etc. If you’re up for a chat (Huddersfield/surrounding areas) get in touch!

Dwell Time picked up the keys to 9 Market Avenue in Huddersfield today. This will be Dwell Time Central and a base for us to run the project from. Plans are still in progress but dialogue will feature large…

Talking rubbish… I borrowed The Literature of Waste: Material Ecopoetics and Ethical Matter by Susan Signe from the library and a previous reader had pencilled in a kind of index or glossary of terms into the back pages.

I met with a friend for a coffee and in the aftermath of the elections and doom and gloom of more austerity, he showed me this book he’s reading. Published in 1941, Orwellian dystopia is now.
