IMPORTANT - artsadmin studio for 2 + 3 October

Hi all, I am about to book studio 5 at artsadmin for performance tests.
The price is 40£ plus VAT for one day until 6pm. I am not sure if there will be any funding available.
I want to book it for Tuesday and Wednesday, possibly Monday but need someone to go in with me to actually support the costs. We could go in as a little group. To be honest though, I don't know how big the studio is.
My performance experiments will involve people from outside, so we would hopefully get people in to experiment with - of course we need to advertise it. Everyone who does some interactive work and needs to test it out might be interested in this possibility.
Anyone up for it?
Biggi

hello-

hello everyone-

sorry i have been one of the absent voices lately- I have been battling stuff out on my own in my head, and not sharing!!! Trying to work out how it is i can be useful in the world. Maybe it's time i started letting it out and sharing it on here, although the format of this blog feels far to public and defining- once written ideas and thoughts become something else, in a very different way to when they are spoken. In writing ideas become solid and representative, when spoken they remain fluid and are easier to let go of. I think thats why I am not using the blog, and it kind of feels like a waste. I hope your all doing well. i am reading the blog, just not posting anything at the moment! I am finding the whole fine art thing a bit much to get my head round so i feel anything i say might not be that constructive. As the fundamental law of exsitance is that ALL LIFE IS CHANGE, I am happy with the knowledge that this will also change.

FRANKO- sorry i missed your call the other day. i managed to delete your message also and can't find your number anywhere. please email me your number or call me so we can talk. I have felt a bit embarrassed to contact you as my life is going through so many changes i don't really know where I am!!

Looking forward to summer- if we ever get one- and seeing you all soon.


X LOVE JACOB X

After an interesting conversation

hello to all of the fb mentees,

I had a converstion the other night speaking to one of the group although they shall remain un-named which has enthused me to write this blog. When I first met with franko @ Wysing last August, I felt devoting myself and time to the mentoring scheme would be beneficial. Especially as a way of being able to have interesting conversations about the arts in all of it's guises with a group of likeminded individuals who are outside my everyday social circuit.

Nevertheless as my year progresses I often find myself logging into the blog to find out about shows and exhibtions that are going on or about to happen. Yes I am guilty of this myself.

However, what happend to the dialect of random discussions? Peoples thoughts and feelings? Posting Images of current work or ideas about new work, Life, the universe and beyond. What has happened to last years mentees? What is going on in the circle of FBers?

WHERE HAS THE PASSION GONE?

Or has the fuse gone out?

Rachel mentioned in a comment about the possible exhibtion in november that we should get together as a group to discuss this...

I am aware that we all have busy lives and schedules to keep. Would this not be an opportunity to discuss thoughts and ideas on the blog??? I only speak up now as Franko is our Mentor, but do we not need to take some responsibilty ourselves to get our artistic backsides into action and start discussing possible opportunities etc.

I'm only asking so as to save Franko wasting his breath every time he asks Where is everybody?

Franko I hope you are well, and I will call you soon

Hugs 2 all

Jon

PS: I'm away on the canals until the 21st July so no internet connection although I'm sure I will find an internet cafe along the way. Hope you are all well and happy

New happenings

Hello fellow mentees!

I hope your all well, i've had a crazy couple of months, culminating in finally moving out of the beloved Warhorse :( the end of an era I feel

I have created some new work and have kind of been touring my performance Live Sermon, I have asked Artsadmin if i can use the court room at Toynbee to show it to a select audience, i hope you can all come. It won't be untill autumn so I will keep you posted.

Please please check out new website www.harminderjudge.com and give me any feedback on the new work. There is Video Sermon (a video installation and you can watch it online too) Archive of Idolatry (which includes my prosthetic arms which are finally finished..yay!) and some images of Live sermon at Sensitive skin and tate.

Also please go to the TEXT section and click on Reviews, there is one written on my performance at Nottingham by Manick (it is my first ever one so i was quite excited)

I will try my best to make it to your flat Lisa, although my life is in boxes at the moment and money is very tight. It would be good to see everyone again.

Love Minda x
