"
That’s right, we want you to curate and create your very own
anthology – an online magazine/publication that we will fund and
promote.
It can be on anything you like, as long as it’s chocked full of
multi-disciplinary content by yourselves, your collaborators and
IdeasTap members.
We're looking for a group (of three or more) from any discipline –
illustration, animation, film, literature, photograph, anything – to
take the helm. Your anthology could be a collection of poetry, an
illustration zine, a photography journal, or all the above – whatever
tickles your pickle.
The winning group will be given £2,000, support from the IdeasTap
team and three months to design and produce an online readable PDF
anthology. It can be as long as you like, but you must commit to
whatever you propose in your application.
Here at IdeasTap, we strongly believe in rewarding hard work. So, you
will be expected to use part of your prize money to pay other IdeasTap
members for the content you commission from them. We give you the money,
you spend the money and they earn the money: everybody’s happy.
As well as your online anthology, you will be expected to create some
“making of” content, to live on your very own IdeasTap partner page,
like this lovely one from the Brain Wash gang. We will upload it for
you, but you will be expected to document the process, in video, images
or text.
What we’re looking for:
• Applications from groups (minimum of three people, preferably more)
• An interesting, original theme with a clear content plan
• A defined strategy to involve IdeasTap members and find contributors
• Applicants who we believe can deliver and who will be able to effectively manage the budget"
.......interesting eh?

OLYMPIC OLYMPICS OLYMPICS!!!!!
In case you haven't heard London is going to be staging the 2012 Olympics and it'll be starting very soon. A variety of contemporary artists have been commissioned to design some posters for it and you can see a selection of them here
The article also makes reference to a similar venture/commissioning taking place in the Munich Olympics of 72 which had an array of artists posters too

My art practice recently has turned into how can I physically integrate an arts practice with the community, this was the inspiration for acquiring the empty shop on Falkirk High Street, in which the space isn't only used for exhibiting individual works of art but the building as a whole is indeed a project. The next thing I am working on is how to spread the word of this gallery space by doing project out with the building itself, for example restoration or gardening. I have been looking at this and I'm sure I have heard others say that they are interested in doing something similar so I thought I'd share this with you all if you haven't heard of it already.

The area that is available in Falkirk, is about as far away from me than Glasgow is on a train so I would be happy to work on a plot of land there, if people are interested in finding out more about landshare.

Adverts
Here's a few pieces I made in haste not long back which have acted as a springboard for some new ideas I'm working on. More to follow at some point in some moment of some particular time but in no particular time frame.

Without going so far as the late German composer Karlheinz Stockhausen’s infamous declaration that the World Trade Center attacks were “the greatest work of art” .....
