Gabriele Picco at Francesca Minini

Brilliant wee sculptures with stuff and eggs

Still tidying.....

Dan Graham...I saw him in Milan

Ellen Gallagher

I was begining to tidy up and found an old catelogue and I forgot just how much I like Ellen. The link is to her biography - above are a few images

Things that are there but not seen have value

I sent a letter..bla de bla..and on the way I dropped it.
I have been thinking about this
Therefore I have put a message in one of the bottles....but which one?
No reward if you find it just a chance to puff out your chest and feel proud.

Psychedelic or what!

Link to tuning in, on or off...man!
Or some more...am reconstructing my youth how sad is that...stopping now

In a corner or grappling with Jacques Derrida

In the corner of a wood
or maybe the studio is more in the mood
I've painted some bottles I blooming made plenty
Milk ones because they were cheap and were empty
Derrida suggests all marks ecriture
What does it mean I am therefore I am unsure
I thinkI 've created a psychedelic dell
...or is it just a representation of hell...
What is real what is fake
Deconstruct and then remake
You have to be blind to really see
Think two thoughts at once is not easy
A monument can be monumental
and a plastic flower can be elemental
What is a repeat and what a copy
Physically rigid or flacid and floppy
Paregon is more than a border
it frames the work by adding order
Structuralism and access to culture
Be individual and/or live like a vulture

Reaching a conclusion...I don't belive it!

I think under this cosh of introspection I realise some of my frustration grows from my inability. In particular I have been thinking about structures and how best to construct them how to anchor things in space, against a wall etc just how to do it...never mind how best to do it.
Ideas are ok but things growing from ideas are not easy- never mind deconstruction I am finding the construction an impediment.
So a way out?
Look for good art construction... who first thought Richard Wilson.

Seen his work in a few exhibitions most recently an exhibition in Grey Studio, Edinburgh last year.
So here are some pictures...interestingly a picture by his dad with a touch of the Sol Le Witt's about it-maybe we are all on the same wave length after all!
