Oscillating between many pleasures...

Phew! - two days after the Tate Symposium and I'm feeling that my time allows for some small pleasures now after all the juggling around of project deadlines. The symposium talk I had with Catherine went very well and we addressed some interesting issues, partly in response to the previous talks - particularly by the head of art business studies at Sotheby's. One of the best things about 'in conversations' is that they tend to steer into unexpected territories which is always a bonus for me. The 'Pop Life' show demands deep engagement by those who go see it and especially art critics. Some of the works highlight a fundamental aspect of art since the 70s, the purpose of its production and the cynical marketing of it. The differing approaches of the artists make for a great starting point for discussion that many have chosen to ignore - opting for the obvious outrage.....now where have I seen that before?

Autumn is one of my favourite seasons so I'm basking in the riot of colour leaf fall brings and enjoying nesting for the cold winter months ahead - hot crumpets, good films and RECORDING again!!! Hooray! I've been away far too long.

Summer recedes

So the summer is finally receding and autumnal activities are descending upon me. I'll be installing my work for the Tate exhibition 'Pop Life' in 2 weeks time then going for the PV with friends. I'm really looking forward to the show - there's some great work and I'm in very good company. I may also be doing an on conversation in October as part of the symposium for the exhibition - I'll let you know when and where as things are finalised.

I'm also in two books that are published in the following months: 'Post Porn Politics' in which I talk with Annie Sprinkle and Beth Stephens, and 'Stanley Picker Gallery Public Lectures on Art. 1: Cosey Fanni Tutti in conversation with Andrew Wheatley' - a transcript of the talk along with photographs of works discussed.

As it gets cold outside I'm longing to get back to recording in the studio. I'm itching to get cracking. There's three sound projects in progress and all so very different to each other not to mention GRISTLEISM of course.... which is on schedule and looking grrrreat.

I'll keep you posted more often now things have calmed down.

On a high...

It's been nigh on 6 weeks since I got back from the TG USA shows and I'm feeling pretty damn good and energised again. Lots has been happening in other areas of my work/life which has taken me away from the TG zone. Mainly in the art world with my inclusion in the forthcoming Tate Modern exhibition 'Pop Life' which opens October 1st. I'm thrilled to be in the company of some wonderful works. Also this summer I'll be finishing my new work 'The Szabo Sessions' and continuing to hammer out other budding art projects.

A number of music projects are coming together now which will take up all my time for the rest of this year with plans for live shows in 2010. It's all VERY exciting and fulfilling especially working with new people.

For now, I'm back in the studio working on the upcoming TG shows. 
More as I get time to update you all.

Calm and sunshine...

Well I finally feel like I've re connected with my self after all the flurry of TG activities.
The intensity of creative flow and physical demands have been a real challenge but I must say that Sleazy's stay here in our home was an utter pleasure. Things cranked up several notches the few weeks prior to the Tate when the TG machine seemed to have a life of its own driving us forward with relentless momentum. Hence the exhilarating feelings I felt for the Tate and ICA events which were already so much a part of me. Presenting our work to the welcoming arms of those who attended felt so right. So I must thank you all for embracing all that we brought to you.

I'm catching up on my solo and Carter Tutti projects - now starting with a 7" cover version, preparing for another exhibition, continuing my project with COH and generally mooching around wandering into the garden to pick those ripening juicy strawberries.

Happy and calm.............
