here comes another one!

i'm not normally so tardy with my blogs, but this week, blogger has been a bit of a pain in the ass and not loading my images, but i think i fixed 'em good now..

anyway, it's been quite a mammoth week really. tuesday i walked into de havilland gallery in wollongong to say hello to Kylie and walked out participating in the next show! I'm going to be showing work called Ova Mortis Incubus, some of the egg shell stuff and i'm hoping to make a little incubator looking thing out of it. I haven't done a last minute work in a while, but i'm trying it on for size again this week. Show installs on Sunday! [insert maniacal laughter here]



Show is called The Contemporaries and opens at 5:30pm on Friday 1st September at Cnr Church & Stewart Sts Wollongong. I'm not on the official invitation (thanks to such a late inclusion) but the artists that are include:

Didier Balez • Jennifer Bult • Beth Crawford • Gillian Day • Rosalie Duligal •Christine Hill • Joseph Horvat • Jennifer Jackson • Wendi Leigh • Csaba Loosz •Kati McBride • Rhonda Morris • Angela Win Rigoni • Robert Wood

Check it out, if you're in the area.

I'm not all that attached to the show per se, which is kind of nice for a change. Nice to just swan in, have a show and swan out again. Not that I don't think the show will be interesting, but I haven't sweated over it, so it's a little strange in a way.


Other big news is:
I officially resigned as chairperson from Project.

It had been a while coming, thanks to realising that i was running out of time to develop my own career whilst helping develop others'.
I'm super sad to seeing the end of the position and i think i cried when i had to delete my email signature saying 'chairperson, project contemporary artspace'.. but hey, i could just be kidding.

no, really. it has been a huge part of my life and my career development as an artist, so it's really weird to be leaving it behind, but all is well and the gallery is in good hands, trust me.

for anyone out there kind of floundering and wondering how to sink your teeth into the art scene, no better way than getting involved in an ARI. in fact, next post will be in list form. i'm thinking something like 'top 10 reasons why getting involved in an artist-run-initiative will change your life'... stay tuned.
