Reading: Different Scales
One of the other things we noticed whilst travelling around Reading: An Open Gallery, was that many works we encountered caused us to investigate the scale of either ourselves or the exhibit we were experiencing. Take, for instance, the chairs positioned on the pavement outside the Autistic Shop. In this shot they are obscured behind […]
Animal Art in Reading part 2:
Cat and Mouse, performance piece, My House, Reading. In this terrifying performance, the vulnerability of life and the brutality of nature were stunningly evoked. Appearing as if from nowhere the tableau of The Cat playing with a plainly terrified Mouse materialised in my garden like a vision from hell. The place of man in the […]
Animal Art in Reading
Continuing with the theme of Reading: An Open Gallery, I wanted today to look at representations of animals in Reading. Most intriguing was this sign, hanging beside the Rising Sun Arts Centre on Silverstreet, Reading. Beware of the dog, paint, wood, site-specific installation, Silverstreet, Reading, Artist Unknown. The handmade qualities of the sign coupled with […]
Reading: An Open Gallery
I am fascinated by the idea that the context in which we view things changes our relationship to them. Take, for instance, Duchamp’s Fountain or any of the exercises in Roger Pol Droit’s 101 experiments in the philosophy of everyday life. Whether recontextualising a urinal as Art or Becoming Music as a philosophical exercise, a […]
Ginger Cake
This is the recipe for the ginger/squash cake that I made for consumption at the Knitted Vegetable Workshop. Once again, let us note the marvel that is Barbara’s knitted pumpkin! This is adapted from a recipe in my much-used, much-post-it-noted and much-stained copy of Cook Eat Enjoy by Weight Watchers but sadly, due to my […]
BOOM
How amazing are the US election results? How mint is it that we have a sane, intelligent, thoughtful man leading the US Nation? Like Lara I don’t think that Obama can change everything or that his leadership will be faultless. He is taking on a country in the middle of a recession and a war; […]
Knitted Vegetable Workshop
On my Eat Your Greens post, Susan asked me if I had ever knit a potato. At the time of that post, I confess that I hadn’t, and I found myself saddened by having to respond to the question in the negative. I have fixed that now and can confidently assert that indeed I have […]
Finding Anna: A Red House Mouse Tail
Yesterday Mark and I came up with this video. It is the accompanying video for The Mouse Balloon, which – providing the mice have made accurate meteorological calculations for their trip – ought to be arriving with Anna in Weymouth this afternoon…
NaBloPoMo and Not Liking…
I was just reading over on Ysolda’s blog about NaBloPoMo. The idea is to post every day of this month. Obviously I missed posting yesterday, but I remember doing the advent calendar last year during December, and how much fun it was to post stuff everyday, so I will try and stick to that this […]
