Bartok Poster

2008-06-29T12:09:00.005+01:00

I made this poster for my dad's recent birthday, it is a screen-printed quote from the composer Bela Bartok, and with low quality architecture printed images in the background about living away from home. Thanks Francesca for the polaroid! In other news, I just arrived last Tuesday here in Berlin and am staying with Korbinian til I find my own residence, I begin work for the next 2 months at my internship with unlike tomorrow.

Reaction...

Here is my most recent project I've been working on at the Willem De Kooning Academie, where I have now finished the semester at. It was a project which started at the examination of the Grevelingen lake south of Rotterdam. The lake has a huge Dam which controls the flow of seawater in and out of the lake, and the pretence of the project being to think about whether this is an ecologically responsible thing to do. My reaction to the project was producing a booklet which compared the different factors surrounding the lake and interference with nature on a larger scale. As the comparisons become more bizarre or fractured the sides to the argument increase and thus the image (which is the same throughout) becomes more fractured and difficult to tell.

a.e.i.o.u. (work in progress)

I thought I'd post up some projects that are on-going, the first being one for my WDKA class. The idea was to make a newspaper about a street in Rotterdam of our choosing. I decided upon the Charloisse Kerksingel, and old street in the south of the city. Here is the work so far;

The next project is a little one for myself. Just a small zine about the hand-rendered typography I found in Portimão, Portugal on a recent trip there this year.

Inspiration.

This is my most recent Rotterdam project. The brief was to create a magazine in 3 weeks about what inspires us. It was printed on newsprint and I plan to print some more next week.
In other news I am going to Dublin next week for a few days which shall be nice I imagine, and also I have also just updated wdphotos with photos from the recent trip to Portugal I took with Manchester friends.

North Sea Jazz

This is a pitch for the North Sea Jazz Festival in Rotterdam's annual poster competition.

A reaction to a random book.

2008-04-11T13:24:00.002+01:00

This project involved being given a random isbn number and going to the library, taking out the book and creating a reaction to it, in either a motion or book style format. My book was about model aeroplanes, so I made 2 model planes, flew them and videoed the process. I then created a small booklet about it in which I transcribed the dialogue from the film "Kes" and also "The Dambusters" and illustrated various pictures to go with it. The book includes a short film about the experience in which the dialogue's from "Kes" and "The Dambusters" run throughout (I shall upload soon).

Here is the book, which was screen printed and in an edition of 3.

5 hour project

2008-04-11T13:08:00.001+01:00

This is a project in which we had to spend 5 hours situated in one spot in Bristol, and produce a reaction to this. I made a mock up contents page for an imaginery book containing each chapter of the day for me. I also made a simple joiner photograph of my surroundings.

Its been mega busy at avalon towers over the past few days with upcoming exhibitions and deadlines to do work for, and in my case also going away a week friday to live in Rotterdam. Was my last day working part time for Habitat for the past few months today to make way for a scary/hectic fortnight moving away and starting studying at a new school in Holland.
Also did a skate/bmx filming masterclass style thing at the Watershed on saturday in conjunction with the new film "Paranoid Park" that came out recently. Haven't had a chance to see the film with mixed reviews yet, but the event was pretty fun.
Thursday marks the end of my 2nd year uni work in england and is also a Mr Coren's birthday for which he is holding an art show in which a 10ish foot wide frank sidebottom head will contain art from a few folk and the odd fellow that is john murdoch will be on stage performing. Its being held at the loading bay in Spike Island if anyone wants to pop down.
