Art in the Market Place

To round off the Yellow Suitcase project or rather to extend it I did two interventions. The first in Margate market in part to collect tangram designs to send to Nomas. It has already been posted on this blog under Derivative Experiment in September. It resulted in a film which is on

I wanted to experiment with my play on the tangram and to involve the public. I liked the idea of an interactive art intervention in the market.

Then during the Christmas season I took my Boboko to Canterbury market. It was filled with excerpts of William Blake's poetry or small tasks for people to do on the back of small paintings with the idea of gift and sharing. It was a lucky dip.

In the frenzied atmosphere of pre Christmas shopping people were confused at first to be given something for free with no strings attached. By doing this I had taken ownership of my Boboko.

It resulted in a positive exchanging of goodwill through Art.

Working without a studio

With no studio at present I am keeping busy working on the table. Still playing with tangrams. And making my seasonal greetings cards.  Also enjoying going into to Uni as an alumni to use the library and attend exhibition private views. I hope to go to some of the open lectures when possible.

Next week I hope to go sketching with a friend and so have a few projects on the go. An exhibition booked for next year and plenty to get organised before then. I am using the facilities for printing at Resort Studios in Margate which means that I can keep on printing. The suitcase is still an ongoing project etc. ...

A bit of fun at the Resort studio's Drawing club

Group work with a definite Halloween influence.

Back in time to place a piece in a group exhibition at the Fishslab gallery in Whitstable.

Edited film of the Market experience

We have just finished editing a film using some footage that was shot during the

The Aftereffect: a derivative experience.

A derative experiment.

This event was part of the project with Stella. It was in response to Nomas who is collecting images of the traditional tangram. So I decided that I would collect some too for him. At the same time I would test out some of my own ideas.
It was important to me that this event was not advertised too much but that it depended on the demographics of the situation and place; Also the unexpected. It turned out to be a very busy day!

I have logged the installation. And there is a film to be edited ...
