abandonedfilms

I've been thinking about the films made with 3D printing - projecting them in an empty and abandoned buildings. The spaces provide a new context and projecting them feels like you are in dialogue. I am thinking about and making new films with a view to where they might be projected. onto screens – Stillwater – slow twists with Matt at the helm. The Courier - slow twists with Benedict at the helm.

After the 20 minute take down of the show HERE, @theart_station I spent some time in the exciting spaces around the building projecting films and then documenting them. I've been creating 3D printed structures that constrict the movement of the fingers. The restrictions look to control and manipulation. The rawness of their design and the play within the videos are interesting but the next stage is to incorporate the ball and joint and hinged structures into bookwork structures. Onto screens - I am your man – deep underlying sadness yet beautiful. Night of Kings – truly magical storytelling. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8132778/

lastchancetosee

its the last weekend of the exhibition HERE at the art station in Saxmundham - This is my work - the things that dreams are made of and the show has many great works created by other artists - if you are in the area I recommend dropping in - or even if not make the effort to get there. There is an art tour taking in a number of spaces over the weekend - check out the https://theartstation.uk/exhibition/art-station-tour/

The roughly polished poured concrete floor at imprints galerie https://imprints-galerie.com/ reminds me of the images created by Charles Wilson in a cloud chamber of charged and uncharged responding to a magnetic field. Similar images were created from the work around the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. https://imprints-galerie.com/ The current show has examples of the stunningly beautiful/clever work by Doris Erbacher her work really is intriguing, especially the drawings.  http://www.doris-erbacher.de/ There is always something about doors in Crest that fascinates. They belong in the category - 'otherness in the everyday'. A feeling or way of being that is something akin to the childlike fascination experienced when one encounters a phenomenon for the first time. Keeping that feeling going is the key to creative thinking and making. I call it ja de vue. In the town the plane trees shed their bark in such a way as to suggest new camo design possibilities. Something to work on later maybe. So much amazing food to think about - from the market stalls on a Saturday that make up a great ‘market lunch’ to the iles flottantes (quite possibly the top sweet ever)!! in my favourite restaurant in Montelimar, unfortunately it wasn't boudin noir 'season' but cayette is always a winner and there is always extraordinary cheese!  The centre des arts had a great show of objects presented by individuals in the community to celebrate the past - so many wonderful pieces but my favourite was a leaflet showing firework explosive patterns. As ever the otherness of a place gives the opportunity to add loads of new images to the ever-expanding file labelled 'odd/interesting pattern and signage'. The great sadness is that the miniature museum in Montelimar is no more – there was an exhibition of puppets from a world famous puppet troop – great if you like that sort of thing but mainly just creepy.

continuing the work with 3D printing – the articulated structures are tricky, and the printing is mesmerizing, building structures within the structures is a real test. onto screens - 6 feet under continues to be disturbingly glorious, the current war – how to make an interesting subject dull.
