Out of Fucking Order

Well it's good to start a new blog and have it not linked to a project - good in the way it allows us the freedom to think and say whatever we like - bad as we don't have a project - hence the title which says it's out of order not just out of order- fucking out of order.

But not to be naive and mining the silver linings from clouds, perhaps out of every situation comes opportunities and the new year brings with it a series of potentials- the half formed meandering of forgotten ideas finding their way back into 20 years worth of mental sketch books . I keep thinking about been an artist and what it means, for a long time this meant making an income from doing work which was sort of been an artist and I feel a great debt of gratitude to the last labour government in giving me the privileged position of been able to do this while consistently slagging them off for minor things like taking us into two major wars.

Anyway the new year gives us a point to take stock. We have done rather well and I would like to say that working together has produced the most interesting stuff of my arty stuff and now we have a clear and definite "Our practice" if we were going on a creative version of Mr and Mrs we would do really well at guessing the questions. "What would Kate say if while delivering a workshop steve was to produce and use a packet of cut out shapes?" for example

So what can we do here on this site which can move us on. We are getting to the end of Parson Cross so maybe a good start would be for us to look back on the year and talk about it as a platform for what we could take forward.

So I am going to kick off this first blog with a first question - not really a research question but a provocation question and it is.

"What have we learnt from the Parson Cross made for you project."

You go first.
