Work at MASS MoCA

Mass MoCA poster

I designed this poster for a show that Anne was in at MASS MoCA. She showed her video work Cracked Actor which was part of Moyra Davey‘s One Minute Film Festival which is being celebrated with this exhibition:

The One Minute Film Festival took place annually in a barn outside of a small town in upstate New York, on the first Saturday after the 4th of July, from 2003-2012. On that day, artists, writers, film- and video-makers would arrive in the afternoon with food and drink and a one-minute movie. After sunset, everyone took their seats and the movies began, usually lasting two or three hours, and afterwards people danced. The festival was organized and hosted by artists Jason Simon and Moyra Davey.

Holiday Reblog

Thinking about the holidays again – already! Originally posted on Anne’s blog, 12 February 2012:

We spent a wonderful three weeks back in Blighty over Christmas and New Year – from London to Okehampton to Edinburgh to Newton Stewart and Glasgow for the day – visiting our family and friends. Managed to fit in some shows at The Fruitmarket Gallery, Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, The Dean Gallery, CCA, TATE Modern, Gagosian and Seventeen Gallery but my favorite experience was Martin Creed’s Work No.1059… here is the original post →

Ruins in Process

Ruins In Process: Vancouver Art in the Sixties is a research archive and educational resource that brings together still and moving images, ephemera, essays and interviews to explore the diverse artistic practices of Vancouver art in the 1960s and early 1970s.

The images on this website are amazing, it’s almost as if they’ve been invented or staged rather than actually dating from the era.

Inspiration from inspiration

The web is full of inspirational resources, they’re everywhere in fact. From the elite and esoteric to the banal and superficial these sites have the power to inspire and infuriate.

What elements make for the best and/or inherently original and exclusive of these repositories? Are these cultural apertures significant or just self-referential?

Here are a few I enjoy and (sometimes) get inspired by, in no particular order (if I think of more I’ll add to the list):
