Thank You x.

HELLO,
Well I’m back from Berlin, After roughly a year of anticipation! I can’t say I was impressed with the work overall, but I think that was mainly because I had built it up so much. But I had a really great time with the people in my year. And I saw the work of three artists that I loved. Today I’d like to tell you about the afternoon we found Matthaus Thoma.
Our intentions for Friday morning were to do a little sightseeing, and maybe get our ears pierced, childish but not as childish as an illconsidered tatoo. It was really cold, after seeing the Holocaust memorial and buying some cheap souveneers, we took the s-bahn to Oranienburgstrasse. It was colder, we ran into a bookshop and found a gallery in the back. And most suprisingly I loved the work.
Matthaus Thoma’s work was sitting on a floor level plinth in the centre of the room. There were four small works, that he has listed as objects on hs website. I liked them a lot.
Thank you x.

I’ve been messing around a bit lately with making these shapes. Ive been trying to cast them differently, or use different materials, y’know stuff.
I like the thought of hanging, the block, using it as a weight. Its been so easy recently to drift along aimlessly and not make anything or to write big lists of things of ideas and not follow up anything.
Though I quite like that.
Thank you x.

Claire Barclay at doggerfisher
I just had my feedback for this semester, it went pretty well. Im off to get a celebratory Christmas coffee. The tutors have reccommended I look at Claire Barclay as well as the the wonderful Richard Tuttle. I’ve looked at them both before but I hadn’t looked that closely.
I’ve been writing my essay this week too, the title’s Contextual Review. Ive been writing about Hesse, Tuttle and Lewitt in the sixties. I suppose it’s not a very original or relevant topic at the moment, but I love it.
I love the sixties at the moment, the night before one of my tutorials i watched a documentary on the BBC called “Hotel California: The Byrds to the Eagles”. There was alot of music on it that I had heard my parents talk about but had never heard. I really liked some of it, though I hate the Eagles.
There was a brief mention of Gram Parsons too, I have an odd interest in him. Again my mum talks about him sometimes. He aparently told Emmylou Harris not to worry about not have any troubles to draw on, that they would come whether she wanted them or not.
Anyway the next day my tutor started talking to me about the times that Hesse, Lewitt and Tuttles work were made in, and I was itching to buy a guitar.
I hope your all having a good day.
Thank you x.
