Carol Bove on being an artist, excerpt from AKADEMIE X

One question is, how do you create a way of being in the world that allows new things (ideas, information, people, places) into your life without letting everything in?

Carol Bove’s work is currently part of the Carol Bove / Carlo Scarpa exhibition at the Henry Moore Institute. Sam pointed out a recent tweet from the Institute sharing the article linked above, v. glad to come across it and that Artspace was able to publish the extract in full.

Hope to get my hands on this book. In the meantime, see further extracts from AKADEMIE X on Artspace (links at bottom of Bove’s excerpt).

Incidentally, the exhibition is excellent, revisit it when it’s not quite as busy.

Website updated

Finally updated my website to include information and links for a few recent projects. Sam and I worked together to redesign the site. In return, I helped him move his domain to sambaldwin.info.

I’m quite excited about the colour of the text and favicon. The hue, saturation, and lightness are calculated according to the season, temperature, and time of day where I am.

There’s definitely a couple of issues to sort out, will get to those soon.

Atelier Ji, art prints and publishing

Atelier Ji

Very impressed by Atelier Ji’s quality, saw a few prints they have made on behalf of their clients at the Hepworth Wakefield Print Fair. Their flyer was printed on lovely paper, the (super kind) guy at the stall said it was Somerset. Somerset satin 300gsm? Lots of prints on their site seem to be on that stock.

Particularly liked Out of Sight by James Seow.

Work by Glenn Brown

Painting titled Decline and Fall by Glenn Brown

Decline and Fall from the Arts Council Collection (image source)

Glenn Brown
Decline and Fall, 1995
Oil and canvas on board
58.4 × 54.6cm

Decline and Fall by Glenn Brown is currently on display in the One Day, Something Happens: Paintings of People exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery. The smooth surface of the painting is astounding and incredibly confusing up close, the image above just doesn’t do it justice.
