a new post about something i read about Madonna in Q .. my sister has the may edition. I read some in her car. I like the ways in which she  answers questions,. One asked which the favourite songs in her catalogue were .. she responded very much in the way that I feel at most things. . it completely depends on what day it is and how you feel and what particular sounds and ideas concepts you are liking at that point .. . time she talks of .. it is an illusion like space. I find it strange that I seem to agree with her.



Alex says that I am a Madonna fiend.

I found a page in Simon's room on the top floor and it made me laugh. ... partly because it talked to me about the collaborative bollocks work that happens relating to how eggs are everywhere and mean everything at once. . it says part of currency is wasps and eggs and nails..

the bit relating to looking that I liked and thought i'd note on my brain... a page said that by looking at the leaf or plant it withered faster..

similar kind of stance to what warnell thought
write about philip warnells philosophy of looking.. it has to be active and that looking and being an observer, one changes the situation.

Collaborative Bollocks are posers.



This drawing Claire starts the top , the techenique of folding and then continuing with the next artist. It makes me .


make me laugh.

 

What is collaborative bollocks?

What is our philiosophy?

philosophy is our philosophy.

Do we need a philosophy?

What is our philosophy?

I don’t know.

Thanks Karl.

No problem.

 

our work fluidity. medium is broad, performance, painting , music, philosophy. Fish. eggs.

Paint on the grey floor with yellow paint. Lo Claire.

Nothing. Take away the nothing. a big nothing we carry around. Zero. hide nothing on a cabinet. 70- nothing is like 7.

Publication

Modern Painters . starts in.. looking in april 2008 edition..

the start. Peter Fuller in 1987.. John Ruskin’s book Modern Painters...

look at page 24 of the one that april i bought in the tate britain.

 

Recently I’ve been reading it.. introduced by dave hyde one of the tutors on my foundation course, enjoyed flicking through the several issues in the college library with friends  on a few occasions. Broad nature of the publication.. it’s in a language I can understand.

Adverts I really like.. I almost booked a ticket to Berlin due to one of them.

Makes me go to shows. Influential to me.

 

 

The Matthew collings .. style diary part i like.. kind of reminds me of how i would like to be able to write. . not sure if i’m a fan but enjoy reading it.. some of the points i become quite engaged in and sometimes frustrated with .

 

Format. Moving changing nature. Set myself the difficult task

aaargh I don’t like it very much the reasons perhaps the bigger paintings make me angry and i can’t feel much from it. The  little ones rock my boat a bit better. I think i almost got an explanation out of myself. I think it's because the little ones have all the freshness of the idea in it. The larger ones are just an assemblage to make a pretty postcard for ARt and money. I know that is what has to be done and i appreciate it. It just makes me not like the pictures.

I don’t like writing about things because it makes me feel uncomfortable reading it back to myself.

 

Painting s fun. The contents page and typography and that i know what i’m reading/ in relation to magazine. the language. seems like a simple start to the beginner of art. doesn’t seem like i shuld be knowing much already. lots of adverts that look tempting. that’s how i came across some painters and almost made me go to berlin next week.
