So here's to making some space, playing the degrees of (dis)order against each other in time...

I can set up for you to make a phone bid and will send you more info soon. I'm so glad you came to see the show and that you liked the work. Which particular big drawing do you fancy ? There are three of the typewriter and three of the cine camera. Talk soon, and I'm really looking forward to Shared Horizons 2012 !!

Nathan Watts played the bass on I Wish. They ought to include that as part of the Turing test. Anybody who can stand still while that bassline is playing is definitely a machine. Hey Douglas

It is a lot of fun working with you, and it is especially enjoyable because you come in with possibly crazy but fresh and great ideas, which makes curating much more fun. - Matt A quick note to say many thanks for your kind words Doug!

Asynchronous - I've felt like that my entire life to be honest, either I come up with a brilliant punchline 5 minutes after the joke has gone past or I'm thinkin "this is going horrible wrong .." 5 minutes before it does. I'm just working quietly in the playpen mailing out press stuff and savouring the feeling that I'm about to start some new work. Probably printmaking. Becky Smith from Skye is staying with us next monday, so lets skype and talk about Shared Horizons 2012 - great to hear from you dear friend. Hey Bill So good to hear from you.

The term is asynchronous. In a way what I am doing now is an example; you wrote the blog entry and I followed up with this comment and the two are no more synchronized than that your entry needed to precede mine. Your comment on "cool" vs "contemporary" reminds me that it takes significantly more time to develop and prepare a major art concept (5+ years from idea to body of work) than the cycle time for what is cool(1-2 years). There is no way an artist can predict what will be cool with enough preparation time to actually do cool work. This is liberating in that one is left with the task of just getting on with the work. The asynchronous processes of society of which the artist is a small, but real part will do what they do, but on a different timescale.

Also lets look at making connections with existing groups, would be lovely to leave behind a suite of prints for the school. Anybody in Torrin know anybody in Edinburgh printmakers ? They always have REALLY classy shows, as well as access to fab facilities.
