The
folding and printing continues...with a view to thinking about editioning.
A
day out in Newmarket to take part in garden
of curious A'MUSE'ment - a project set up by http://www.unbosi.org/ - it was a kind of immersive interactive
theatre piece - if you have young children I recommend getting to see one of
their events - while there I dropped into The
National Heritage Centre for Horseracing and Sporting Art.
https://www.palacehousenewmarket.co.uk/
which was really intriguing - alongside
the really interesting objects connected to the sport of racing they have real
horses which you can stroke, which was cool. The art collection does document
the wealthy, privileged and questionable activity of the horse racing
fraternity through the ages. Meanwhile a link to the Pattern and Chaos research
page at Norwich University of the Arts https://www.nuapatternandchaos.com/ - recently uploaded my answers to a set of
questions -
Les
describes his practice and research as‘…searching for opportunities to be
in a place of not knowing’ Les sees Pattern and Chaos as‘…finding the
overwhelmingly extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary’ Les ‘s next big idea is‘…combining
the experience of working in the crystallography department in the Department
of Materials Science & Metallurgy, Cambridge with what was learnt
in synthetic anatomy at Kings, London to create public artwork
for a housing estate in Chelmsford with Essex CC and inspire a series
of handheld bookworks – it’s all about folding’ There is a symposium
coming up and the line-up looks interesting and worth checking out.
so
now to some films - do not watch the self indulgent possibly dubious (choose
your ism) Lost in London - Woody Harrelson
- the technical issue of one take is not interesting enough and apart from a 7
minute segment where Woody riffs with Owen Wilson which is funny it is bad. Meanwhile Orange is the New Black is
just too oppressive, maybe it always was. I quite enjoyed The Giver - although a lot of the ideas are retreads from previous
sci-fi tropes and actual films but it does look good.
