The Window Trap: The I and We
http://thewindowtrap.blogspot.com/2011/11/i-and-we.html
Thoughts and words and art. Sunday, 13 November 2011. The I and We. Recently I came across an article about a recent publication titled Soon all your neighbours will be artists. Which sound's like a really interesting publication (a collaboration between Aid and Abet, Extra Special People, Spike Associates and Wales Artist Resource). Having said that, the title itself made me question how people talk about art. What are it's devises? What are it's predecessors? Where is it's literature? I am not denying ...

The Window Trap: January 2012
http://thewindowtrap.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Thoughts and words and art. Monday, 16 January 2012. The Art of Awe. January: Thought I'd skip the new year resolutions (while secretly promising myself to spend more time at exhibitions - particularly relevant ones). Yesterday I went to see Anselm Kiefer's Il Mistero delle Cattedrali. Painting (with a rock hung before it on a large measuring device of some description), and long may this feeling last.

The Window Trap: February 2012
http://thewindowtrap.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Thoughts and words and art. Monday, 20 February 2012. What is. Art? Recently went to the Moving Pictures. Panel discussion at the Jerwood Space. London. Moving Pictures is an online Dance Animation exhibition presented by Animate Projects and Portland Green Cultural Projects. This may sound a bit strong, but words cannot express my gratitude, and this is a phrase I shall remember from here on out as a guard against the 'but what is art? Question, and all it's variants. At certain moments and in certa...

The Window Trap: Talking video art
http://thewindowtrap.blogspot.com/2011/12/talking-video-art.html
Thoughts and words and art. Tuesday, 6 December 2011. Recently I've been looking around for a regular film/video screening in East London - something with artists showcasing their new works, and something with a critical discussion. Perhaps more importantly, I'm looking for something that doesn't make my head feel like it's been put through a meat grinder. It's not penance. This all probably sounds a bit pretentious, but really I suppose I'm looking for something a bit balanced. The open discussion that ...

The Window Trap: October 2011
http://thewindowtrap.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Thoughts and words and art. Monday, 24 October 2011. Recently I've been trying to make my arts practice more practical. I've been trying to get away from planning projects that would be fantastic if I only had the right resources. I've been trying to approach art from the angle of 'what resources have I got', 'what resources can I easily get my hands on', 'what can I do with these resources'. Artist's often spend a lot of time seeking out inspiration - galleries, theatres, books, talks, films. Perhap...

The Window Trap: The romanticism of craft
http://thewindowtrap.blogspot.com/2011/12/romanticism-of-craft.html
Thoughts and words and art. Tuesday, 20 December 2011. The romanticism of craft. Recently I was discussing video art with a painter, and they commented on how painters get to really immerse themselves in the process of painting, adding that it seemed a shame that something similar didn't exist in the field of video art (although it was more of a question than a statement). Is it to do with the amount of time we spend being conceptual or reflective? Perhaps the real question lies right back at the beginni...
