after a week attending the NanoDTC Autumn school I'm back - for more information on this follow https://unfoldingthinking.blogspot.co.uk/
which is the blog that will document the project with NanoDTC at the Maxwell
Centre. meanwhile Its been a busy week of opportunities - The Crafts Council
have invited me to present my work in Manchester as part of Crafts Council's Make:Shift conference
- already looking forward to it as it's an opportunity to share the advances
my practice has had as a result of working within a science context. Nicola Naismith
has contacted me to be part of her interesting project Postures of Making - exploring what happens beneath the surface of
the skin when engaged in art practice and how we work with the idea of
repetitive acts. I have several art related body malfunctions!!! as a result of
creative making over the years and have been interested in the ergonomics of
art practice for some time, especially when considering the of concept of the
space of reading and idea of page turning as a performance. Confirmation of the
upcoming work for Open College of the Arts has come through - I'm running an
interesting project which focuses on creating an online exhibition. meanwhile managed
to read I love Dick by Chis Kraus it's a wonderfully incisive book. I loved
the descriptions and general critique of a number of art pieces, films and
artists I am familiar with - it really is very funning, I now want to go back
and check out the work I was unfamiliar with - this book should be read by all
artists. I've been invited to Unfold
a show at The Roundhouse on October 8. The Catalogue for ALL is out and the work looks good -
can't wait to see a physical copy in my hands - the events on the 13th October
if you are in Cambridge https://artlanguagelocation.org/
Dan Tsu of Lyrix Organix very kindly mentioned that this is the project I inspired
them to develop last year! but I think that is really down to all the hard
work they do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6SQ_K_WQl0A
