'Medium'

Looking.

I tried to find a book about what Jenny was talking to me about in the pub on the thursday 22th april. I couldn't find one. Michael was telling about the creative people and how writers and these arty folk look and look in completely different ways. 

Jenny says about a day workshop in which she had to look at a room for the whole day. Details and look deeply at it all.

I talked to richard and said that I looked and read his artists statement that he wrote/put on the wall to accompany the second year show. There was a different kind of looking and attention. Active or passive reading and looking. I remembered that the quote on it was from American History X. It also said that someone else said that writings should end with a good quote.  I happened to stumble upon that text on his blog. "... to actively work... " 

Richard says to look at his blog about the active and passive. I couldn't find it but read about what he writes about Viv's practice.

I was talking to Libby, a third year fine art student while helping with her work on 2nd may 2008 and we were discussing the topic. She is much more an aural person listening. talking about . I explained that there is sooo much whizzing around to sense here in this world that it's incredibly difficult to be selective... well. I mean that consciously looking  see the active passive bit that i was talking to michael, jenny, richard,it is hard to . one has to have thought about the way they view and observe it in order to change the way they view it.

The whole of what this medium I'm looking into is 'loooking' mostly seeing with the brain, moreover the observations and how completely different everyone interprets what it is, means and how one goes about the process of observation.

On the first morning of my stay in north london I aquired a book. ways of seeing by john berger. I read most of it a few months later. I can't remember much or indeed any of it.

the context place is always different. but my brain is just looking at it starting to look at it all in similar ways as if they are all art gallerys
