So I've been saying i'll make this book on how to survive awkward situations make it my main focus. But all I have been doing is making to do lists and going galavanting with pals.
I visit galleries, like today went to the Subversive Spaces exhibition at The Whitworth, had lots of interesting work from really currentish film makers like Gregor Shnieder film "Kinderzimmer". Which was full but shall get along to, and all the Dali, and Magritte work, nothing really stood out to me really the Douglas Gordon piece was very interesing, and hes a huge influence so I lie, that was great was all about anxiety and hysteria, was shown in i'm not sure you'd call it his signature way, but he uses the two screens at angles with back projects so you can watch 4 screens showing different imagery, very interesting.
Anyway, so I've been having a panic recently. What is the point in contemporary art?, alot is suppose to challenge which is great its always good to learn but ifs its baffling confusing or down right pretentious, then why?, I love to make a spectacle that is suppose to amaze the audience, like performance or a illusion or a new invention I think thats why I do what I do, because hopefully one day, Il get my act in to gear and amaze.
So as soon as this essay is written Im going to make the Book, edit all this blog and concentrate whole heartily in doing the book, Im still going to attempt the Tom Waits film will probably be a performance if I show all the stages in progression like some sound art, the editing experiment, the conversation, my word I'm ambitious, at the final show Il do some acting as Tom Waits with people be really awkward in Cafes. chat to a stranger. and get a pal to film all these random experiments.
