ARTISTS TALKING

In this new feature we invite you the bloggers to choose your favourite blog and tell us why you like it.

Current selection

Inez Schrader selects Caroline Wright's Inishlacken Project. Caroline says: “Despite her concerns on retrospective blogging The Inishlacken Project by Caroline Wright is my current blog choice. Reading it I felt the rythmn of the piece changing as she relaxed into the island, her direction and inspiration. Having spent a freezing, winter weekend exploring the desolate expanse of Rannoch Moors and Loch Rannoch in Scotland, I can understand the many layers of inspiration which present themselves when all ones senses are engaged.

Unfortunately the results of her inspiration I gather, will only be seen next year as I see from her website that she plans to show at the Redhouse Arts Centre in USA. Too far for me I’m afraid.

Caroline, for what it’s worth, in my experience, blogs such as these, refresh and strengthen memories, not the reverse.”

Previous selections

Jane Ponsford has chosen Susan Diab's blog Making art politically because: "Many of the projects which appear on the Artists Talking pages (my own included) deal with life very obliquely and so it is good to read Susan Diab discussing her role at Fabrica, engaging with Hirschhorn's work 'The Incommensurable Banner', artwork not just concerned with issues but as she puts it, filled with 'justified outrage'.”

Susan's work is on show at Fabrica in Brighton until 16 November.

Alex Pearl was the very first blogger to make a selection and he chose the AirSpace Gallery blog. This is what he had to say about it: "Perversely I've chosen a blog which is the opposite of the usual self-serving navel-gazing that most of us produce. Airspace Gallery is the story of two young artists trying (and succeeding) to do something worthwhile in Stoke-on-Trent. I have a tear in my eye."

If you have a favourite blog, or one that you want to engage with in some way, please email your selection to me at andrew.bryant@a-n.co.uk along with a brief (one or two short sentences) statement about why you have chosen it.
