Art on Sunday

May 18th, 2008 · Comments Off

Today I took a walk down to the Tramway to have a coffee and read through some writing I did a week ago.

I also took a look around the Visual Art exhibits.

The two that caught my interest were “In the Flesh” and “Something No Less Important Than Nothing/ Nothing No Less Important Than Something”

“In the Flesh” by Billy Cowie

“In the Flesh” is a 3-D stereoscopic dance presentation. Wearing 3-D glasses you look down into the darkened performance area. A solo dancer is projected in to the area and a haunting poem is recited. The piece last 4 minutes. It is the best implementation of 3-D projection I have seen, at one point when the performer reaches upwards it is impossible not to try and hold out your hand to try and shake hands.

“Something No Less Important Than Nothing/Nothing No Less Important Than Something” by Jonathan Monk

I never really know how I am supposed to interact with these type of art exhibits, some things you are supposed to touch and even alter and others not. I guess as I get more use to attending these things I will learn.

There is a review for “The List” here.

There is a photo of one the pieces called “Infinity Interrupted, 2008″ at my TwitPic page. One of the pieces called “Will the Void Fit In The Back of The Van I & II, 2008. Poster, two versions” These posters were to be taken away by the visitors, so naturally I took two.

Three precious things a picture & story meme

April 20th, 2008 · 3 Comments

This meme is about the little things, the inexpensive things that mean something to you and a little bit of the story behind them. No people, pets or books, this includes pictures of them as I think they have their own memes anyway.

I don’t tag people as a point of principal but if you run with this meme please link back :)

My three things below.

Spring Cleaning

April 14th, 2008 · Comments Off

Okay it is time for me to “Spring Clean” my life again. I have too much clutter in my life, too much junk kicking about that I will never use again and hold on to for no good reason.

In the last two weeks I have fallen off my diet quite severely so I need to get that back on track with a couple of days on fruit and veg and general detoxing, oh and some exercise! I also need to start my training for the 10K races that I run at the end of May.

Today I took my car to get the brakes and passenger side wing mirror fixed and that is all going to cost around £668 :cry: the “joys” of owning a car.
