Research for project

I am finding it helpful to use this blog to record my meanderings at the moment I am looking at the unconscious along with thinking about the body as culture (al) representation. To this end have reread Kafka and Metamorphosis I remember not getting it before but am not so resistant...what might that mean I wonder! Anyway am bemused about the beetle having eyes that blink! I say no more. I was interested to see on our reading list Vanessa Beecroft as one of the artists to look at. Mainly because I saw an exhibition of hers in Bergamot a few years ago and thought it was fab these enormous yet childish drawings of women...have to say the gender awareness bit was I felt a bit crass so I have kept a watching brief on her work and am determined to look out the catalogue - where have I put it? Meanwhile you will see what I have found as an examples of Vanessa's work

I think there are visual links to the work of the Chapman Bros but the connections are in the main in the visual certainly not in the theoretical.

Looking at art and artists....

I saw a wooden sculpture made by Conrad Shawcross but I know nothing about him so I looked him up on google where I found quite a lot. I am interested in his working with engineering science and art.
