Hello. I came back.

I was lucky enough to get great training in fine art at one of the best art schools and then do an MFA at a great University and... now what....?

I guess I'm still all about the art and now that I work in a gallery and am responsible for programming I've become very aware that I shouldn't be swept up in the things that I see everyone else around me being swept up in. I think we all have a responsibility to keep an open mind.

I took a new friend to some exhibitions and openings in Glasgow a couple of days ago and I enjoyed these things that day

I would love to do this to my house, rather than endure the dull and life-sapping maintenance required to keep it 'valuable'.

tracey emin again

"It strikes me that the artist seems able to find worth and inspiration in the same emotional residue that she’s been dealing in for so much of her career. Emin has basically been on the same tip since she was in her twenties. It’s as if her perspective has not changed a bit in thirty years. Though it is satisfying to recognize parts of my own depressed attitudes in her work, Emin also terrifies me, because her sincerity reveals that it doesn’t suddenly get better when you’re middle-aged and famous."

david douard

"The teenager, after all, is the embodiment of the double-bind: living in a house that is not his, with a body that doesn’t suit him and no identity to speak of outside of consumption, he is nevertheless filled with desires that are entirely his own."

"David Douard activates mechanisms of visual and formal hybridization: his sculptures and objects always present a dual identity, suspended between anthropomorphism and virtuality."
