A very fitting title given how busy things have been – this is a mini residency at Burlington Arts Club taking place this week. Invited by Andrew Bracey and working alongside Kevin Hunt, Frances Disley and Dave Evans, we are spending the week making, playing, experimenting and talking. Yesterday we watched The Shining. There will be a private viewing event on Thursday 28th from 6 – 8pm.
A Curriculum: A one day exhibition
Saturday 1 May, 12 – 6pm
Private view: Friday 30 April, 6 – 9pm
The A Curriculum artists-in-residence will hold a one-day exhibition to present work made in the two months spent at A Foundation, Liverpool. During their time on the residency the artists have attended a programme of talks, and received studio visits, by a number of artists and art professionals. Coming to the end of this period the artists would like to invite the public into their studios which will be returned to an exhibition space for the final day of their
residency.
I’m excited to have been chosen to take part in A Curriculum, a new residency programme at A Foundation in Liverpool, during March – May 2010.
The residency is described thus:
“The programme will be scheduled over two months and will include input from visiting artists, curators, gallerists, collectors and commissioners. A Curriculum will give participants the chance to explore a broad range of perspectives which build a picture of the artist within the wider professional context.”
I will be starting a new body of work; working towards my first ever solo show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park early in 2011. Can’t wait to get stuck in.
I am here, it is lovely and my studio is enormous. Just about settled in now so looking forward to really getting stuck in to some new work. My head is overflowing with ideas so I shall have to try and start somewhere, I find myself gravitating towards writing again. Seems like there is a lot to see here too so, excited about seeing some new artists and perhaps a different approach to showing work?
More about the residency, Linz and the other artists can be seen here.
Found out last week that Liverpool Biennial put me forward for a residency over the summer with Linz Kutur at the Atelierhaus; a newly renovated artists studio centre and exhibition space in the centre of Linz, Austria.
So, I leave on Tuesday – loads of time to plan and everything. But, this last-minute-ness may be a blessing in disguise so I am ready to get there and just see what happens…. Linz seems to be a bit of a rebel as far as Austria is concerned, with loads of contemporary art and architecture, not to mention the Ars Electronica Centre and festival, can’t wait!
I may even come back all digital!
new blog on a-n to document the process coming soon and I shall be having an online conversation throughout with Fiona Flynn, an artist from London, who will be in Vilnius (the other Capital of Culture this year) at the same time..
Bye for now.
