20th OCTOBER 2008

After a busy week in London in the artfair scrumdown, there's a few things to update you about just now. Firstly, shows I'm in/upcoming:

First up is Gold Soundz at Southwell Artspace in Notts, on until Nov 1st. A great show about art/music. I have a new(ish) piece in there for all you Iron maiden fans.

Next up is Awopbopaloobop at Transition Gallery in London, opening November 15th - an exhibition with loads of people in, all of whom have made a new painting inspired by a song lyric. I've also just written a piece for the 'Rock n Roll' edition of Garageland that will be released at the same time.

Then I'm in the axis and Ceri Hand curated future50 at Project Space Leeds from Nov 21-23rd - a new selling show with lots of great artists in and it'll be the first time I'll be showing the photographic documentation from my 'The Death of Peter Fechter' project I made last year

Other than that, I'm mainly working towards my first solo show with Ceri Hand next January and working on a publication that will be launched alongside it, documenting previous projects and including an 'in conversation' between me and Ross Sinclair and an essay by Andrew Hunt.

I'll be updating my projects page over the next couple of weeks with some info about projects I got up to over the summer, including Out of Bounds: The 5 Codes Tours and Becks Fusions, so check back for that.

I've also just added a whole section of links to stuff about me on my links page (interviews and things like that), so have a look there if you haven't had enough already.

27th MAY 2008

Here we go with the news thing again. I'm bringing it back here as I've discovered I'm even less inclined to update/blog on Myspace than I am to pull my finger out and update this page. So, briefly, what's new and what's happening.

I'm spending a good deal of time updating the site, in particular the projects and exhibitions pages, so make sure you catch up with those.

Other than that, I've just finished a couple of new pieces of work for a great show at Collective in Edinburgh, opening late July, called The Golden Record. Have a look at the Myspace to get a better idea but it involves loads of really great artists and comedians etc.

Also, I'm working on two new multiple commissions, one for Ceri Hand and the launch of her gallery in July and one for The Public and the launch of their building in June. More to follow, or look at their sites to see if you can get hold of one.

For any booklovers out there, you can also read a bit about my Death of Peter Fechter project in this new book just launched by the ICA, about the ICA. Called 'How Soon Is Now' it's a history of the last 60 years of the ICA's programme. Priced at a mere £9.50 how can you say no?

Aside from that, it's studio time right now, for the first time in god knows how long, so I'm just trying to read and reserach and make and all that kind of business.
