Supermarket My head is spinning with so many thoughts … thoughts that are closely related to being at the fair, and those that have a less direct connection but have been sparkled by something that I have seen, heard, or […]
Being the Meetings Coordinator suits me very well. As soon as the fair began the memory of weeks of stress and anxiety fell away and I throughly enjoyed dashing around introducing myself to all the moderators/hosts and seeing names […]
I think that I might be what you call ’an artist’s artist’. Other artists at the studio have really responded well to the two Rest (companion pieces), and not only artists but also a very well regarded known curator and […]
Moving the two large work-tables from the studio in Enköping to the one in Uppsala last Friday felt definitive. Up until then I had been kind of camping out in the new studio. Having appropriate furniture and fittings may not […]
Art-Shots is a staple of Supermarket art fair. Based in a kind of pecha kucha format galleries/initiatives have ten minutes to present themselves in front of ten images (each lasting one minute). First up yesterday as Detroit Stockholm where 25 […]
As seems to be the way busy days at the fair, dinner with the friend I was staying with, arriving back in Enköping late last Sunday evening and an intense week with both work and the new studio put pay […]
I surprised myself with my participation in a somewhat heated debated following a question about funding dircted towards the young curator/representative of a recently formed artists’ collective in Budapest. During the preceding panel discussion the curator mentioned that she had […]
Feeling inspired after a day of meetings and presentations. The artists’ run art-scene is a truly wonderous place full of people who with often very limited resources make incredible and ambitious things happen both locally and internationally. Land404 is a […]
It is Supermarket time of the year again – this year’s moveable feast has taken up temporary residence in a (very) recently vacated former slaughter house in Stockholm’s former meat-packing district. The whole area is called ‘Slakthusområdet’ which translates literally […]
At just after 8.00 this morning I signed a contract on a studio that Klas and I are going to share. The space is a former garage, and has most recently been the clubhouse for a motorbike club! It needs […]
After the first week in Malmö, next stop was Stockholm where Talat myself and Roushan Illahi where going to attend and perform at a Kashmiri conference. Now I know we have issues with UK trains and i was reminded how […]
This afternoon I am taking ‘Play‘ to Stockholm. It is going to be shown at a one day performance event: The Cat Café. I do not understand how the day will be, however I trust Pontus who is organising it […]
Some time between about 4.30 and 5.00pm this afternoon it suddenly struck me, and now I know what I want to make. It came as something of a surprise – quite unbidden – as I was tidying Tim’s studio after […]
There is still so much material that I have for/from Following Eugène. This week I presented a site-specific installation and lead an artist’s walk for the end of the Take a Walk on the Wild Side course, and yet it […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here Bloggers United (From Arlanda Airport) I know I’ve said before that meeting people you’ve met online is a joy! When you’ve had meaningful exchanges about life, art, and so on, you get to know […]
AUDIOBLOG – Please click here I’ve compared my current state of mind to that of air traffic control. The items in my head are the planes. Some can circle the airport for a week or two, plenty of fuel, […]
Perhaps because I do not have my own home my studio has had a very significant role in my life since moving to Sweden. It is not only where I come to work, but also a sanctuary when I […]
I am starting to feel rather anxious about the end of year presentations for the course that I have been taking at Mejan. I have thoroughly enjoyed Following Eugène however I am not sure that what I have to present. […]
“Dormant” – an appropriate word as it puts me in mind of the mouse (dormouse) at the Mad Hatter’s tea party, and describes the recent state of my blog here! In an only somewhat tenuous way the condition of my […]
