new ventures in sound & vision

Unsure what to eventually do with the box, the glass and wooden display case, Alex offered to bring along equipment to record my rambling about the ideas and create a piece that combines this with a hand held video of the empty box. This will present additional references back to the box in perhaps a better way than the other ideas I had and do the job I have in mind. The box is quite banal and devoid of its very specifically constructed function, which is the exact point of disinterest that I have. So this challenge to find a creative response to it may be resolved at some point soon.

The puzzle continues

The ill fitting jigsaw pieces are steadily increasing in number but we still need more, and decisions about how to display them are perplexing. Alex suggested that we should develop it further when the pieces are in-situ, adding objects in response to each others' ideas/materials.

Add & Pass

Objects were passed around at the last meeting, and this is what I made of mine.













A similar theme ran across to the second jigsaw piece (this tends to happen if you work on two pieces on the same day!)

So last week Alex came round and we sorted the blog, finally I get time to upload a bit more. We also finished the Poster/invites, here is a copy. The idea of creating an exhibition project that evolves like a collage, with many contributions from many people and the course of events unfolding without a defined plan, had proved a difficult way to work during last year. So, now having a focal point of exhibition in August does help. I realised the concept would be difficult in some ways as previous a project that I developed called Conversations, in Norwich, had similar aspects. Though much more structure was there to start with on that occasion. I feel that we are working well and playing with the idea as we should be.

Assemblage - Collage?

Here are a few examples of recent work which kind of fit into the idea of assemblage. I managed to miss the last meeting where objects were passed around so I thought I'd bung some of this up as a sort of virtual contribution.



Adventure (things my wife has done but I haven't) There are lots of these.

Forest (detail) I've since made two forests the idea is that I'm thinking about placing the trees in space rather than all the stuff I have to use to get them there.
