Howdy fellas,

I shall be sorting my page (actually we're doing postcards) out for the catalogue for my Degreeeeee show and was thinking of including the blackswanblogspot site as part of contact information. Thought I'd post up here first just so everyone knows/approves. Oh and I met and spoke to ___, I forgot his name - he did the Doodlebug exhibition at BadgerBadger and runs a workshop at the firestation. I mentioned the Blackswan and Zine etc and he's keane for me to drop off a copy of the zine this Wednesday. Again - so everyone knows/approves.

New Work


New work that doesn't have a title yet. Cement, steel, wooden pallet & ratchet strap. And it's bloody heavy!

Hi again,

Just thought I would post up an exhibition I've just found that I'm particularly frustrated by - those reasons being because it would of been fantastic for my dissertation and previous projects and that it explores alot of what I attempting to do. Don't you just hate it when that happens!

the sites a little naff, but each artist is definately worth a look. Particularly Pawel Althamer, who Michael introduced me to. I've still to find much on Althamer - does anyone know where I can see the recreated Realtime Movie trailer?

Degree Show Title

Hey guys,

Our exhibition title "Shut That Gate" has been pulled from the show which means we are to come up with a new name, so I thought I'd ask of your wonderful minds to suggest/validate some ideas.
I'm particularly fond of a title with no pretenciousness or Latin, hence why I liked "Shut That Gate" so much - but that is deemed as terrible and of(fence)ive - GEDDIT to Cumbria and all that... I don't particularly understand either....
Anyway, please please I need your help as a students suggestion in the last vote was "and," which I dispise - though it almost won the bloody votes.
I like the idea of the title being almost conversational and not omnipotent or pedantic or whatever. Here are a few ideas off the top of my head:


and I'm everything else
so just what are you trying to do?
