  • Mind Your Language – jon bounds
    Worth bearing in mind – “I’ve worked out over a few years that “private view” means two things: if a show is big and important it means “no entry unless you’re invited”, if a show is small or not that well known it means “please come, there’ll be free wine and nibbles”. It’s developed as art-jargon for some reason, and people who know know and those that don’t don’t. But it does put off people who might otherwise have liked to have attended—and the smaller shows could do with that, in fact they want it.” Now to decide if your show is big and important or if it’s smaller

    In the meantime, two things that compliment one another have come to my attention.

    Firstly, an opportunity:

    INTER?OGATION: WALSALL

    Call to Artists:

    Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to become a secret agent for a day in order to interrogate the public spaces of Walsall.

    Using the New Art Gallery Walsall as a base you will investigate the artist’s role in the post-industrial world through one of four methods:

    INTER?OGATION: ACTION RESEARCH     (09/09/09)
    INTER?OGATION: CONSULTATION         (16/09/09)
    INTER?OGATION: COLLABORATION     (23/09/09)
    INTER?OGATION: INTERVENTION         (30/09/09)

    INTER?OGATION: WALSALL explores the impact that one artist (you) can make in one place, in one day.

    This programme of work is organised by Longhouse and the New Art Gallery Walsall, working with lead artist Anna Francis (who can also be found here), and is designed to investigate the impact of short, sharp interventions within the public realm.  Deadline for expressions of interest is fairly soon – 12pm Friday 28 August 2009 – so go visit the site to find out more.

    Secondly, I really enjoy the idea of creative practice being fused with more spy-like activities – interrogations and investigations.. where everyone gets to be a secret agent and have their own missions!  So for those of you whose toes are curling at me daring to mention WALSALL in a CiB post, I wanted to temper that with a signpost towards a great Birmingham artist – Nikki Pugh. I feel she really embodies this excitement within her practice, but best of all has taken the time to document in detail how she’s used this approach with great effect in her “How to Wow” series.

    Do you know of any other local artists who work in this way?
