artfo.com is a new website i’m developing. The problem I have leaving the Royal College of Art is that its hard to keep that community going strong. At the Royal College you see your collegues every day and talk about exhibitions and competition etc, so it’s easy to keep track.
So i’ve made artfo.com as a surrogate for the art school. To begin with its just a blog, but it will grow into an entire environment for promoting and discussing art.
I’ll be having a solo show at the Art Reception space at ACAVA studios in Cremer St, London on the last Thursday of February 2006. (have a look here)
The work will develop from the project I started at the Hull Art Lab, in which I looked at Evian mineral water. The central piece will be a glass containing powder created by evapourating many litres of Evian water. The residue left behind is detailed in the ‘Composition in mg/litre’ section on the back of an Evian bottle. A litre of Evian provides about 309 mg/l of solid when evapourated.
This solid is the physical remains of the mountain depicted in the Evian logo.
I will be showing the After the Rain piece in the MA 2005 show at the Atkinson Gallery. So between now and next February i’ll have to work out how to move 5 tonnes of tarmac to somerset. Or maybe i can get some there.
If you’ve got a lot of spare tarmac and you live in somerset give me a bell.
