Forest BB

michaelbowdidge

Any items for the agenda?

michaelbowdidge

Fair enough, sorry if i was a little harsh, it's just a subject that is very close to my heart.

michaelbowdidge

clearly this suggests an advertising line: "The forest: we failed art school!" I know you're just kidding, but please speak for yourself and not eveyone else: I didn't fail (in fact I'm still there doing a PhD FWIW) and there are quite a few others here that didn't, but I'm sure that we don't reall...

michaelbowdidge

...and BTW i sometimes teach art part -time (no, really) - does that make me a part-time evil person then?

I guess I know that answer to that one....

michaelbowdidge

Ask Bismarck - i'm sure he will oblige...

michaelbowdidge

I'm not really sure how what looks like a random cut-up of your post which was probabaly created by a computer can be aggressive, given that it all it does is re-arrange and filter what's already there (check the link that Bismarck posted for more info) but if you think it is then no-one can really ...

michaelbowdidge

Ta! i wasn't sure if that was agreed or or not... should be able to make it with a bit of luck...

michaelbowdidge

Still trying to make it today if i can but what time are we meeting???????

michaelbowdidge

Likewise, nice one Dai!

michaelbowdidge

Looks like I may not be able to make this after all, I've got a deadline to hit

- i'm hoping to get the thing finished tonight but it may well overlap into tomorrow, I will know more in the morning and will let you know either way...

michaelbowdidge

Sandy smells it is... what time are we kicking off then, say 2 pm? that too late?

michaelbowdidge

So I see....

michaelbowdidge

Be careful - some bright spark will probably tell you that your art is a load of pants (*sigh*)...

That was a great feed - ever thought about forming a comedy double act

michaelbowdidge

LOL - Thanks Milk!

michaelbowdidge

I wish we could...

michaelbowdidge

That's because we didn't make any decisions that day, because one of the selections that we looked at had already been previously rejected, and in the other case (that of the italian artist who was producing black and white drawings, which i seem to remember you saying that you liked) it was decided...

michaelbowdidge

It seems to me that the people running the 'totalkunst' gallery are idiots. For a start it is an unpleasant dyslexic joke to name the gallery that, why not call it 'totallyvagina' gallery? Dont they understand that not everything need revolve around life giving organs. Kunst is actually the German ...

michaelbowdidge

Which we will of course leave out

... come and have a pint after work though, eh?

I'm in, what time shall we start?

Amen to that!!!

michaelbowdidge

Only for those that don't know the score (*taps nose*)

michaelbowdidge

Well, they all make sense in relation to the calender, if that's what you mean. The only correction is you have got a stray 'october' at the beginning of november, but other than it all looks fine!

michaelbowdidge

Don't worry about it - we're all sick here... Welcome to the party!

michaelbowdidge

Thanks Gandhi - point taken...no worries - I won't!

I've had my second coffee now and am feeling a bit better...

michaelbowdidge

Thanks Ryan and Gandhi, you beat me to it, so adding this on preview, the main section was written in response to the previous post to yours: @ Gandhi: What you're saying about the gallery is, by and large, fair and reasonable comment. What I would add in response is that art doesn't always go on th...

michaelbowdidge

With you on that one Gandhi - paint the front room white - it's far too dark and dingy as it is...

michaelbowdidge

I've got an idea for the slot AFTER xmas that we could do...

michaelbowdidge

From what i remember of Mirja's last email (and from what I know of her work) i think she is going to be exbiting a big 5 x 5 x 5 ft painted cube as well as some other stuff, so i suspect that there might not really be room for much else at all in the gallery...

michaelbowdidge

not looking good for me either, got college stuff that day as far as i know...

michaelbowdidge

Not got images of the minividfest - bit crap on my part that... (*hangs head in shame*)

michaelbowdidge

I have stuff for Mike Hinc and also TKXMAXX but that's about it. Will burn you a cd when i get back...

michaelbowdidge

I say go for it...

BUT (sorry to sound like a right jobsworth) the only thing is that I think there might need to be someone there with her if she is working nights up a ladder (from a health and saftety point of view)... what does everone else think on that point?

michaelbowdidge

Well played Sir!

michaelbowdidge

Just to let you all know that we have now found that pesky parcel... it's a long story!

michaelbowdidge

hmmm... is JP only doing 2 days - 30th/31st aug? Cecily isn't hanging til the 2nd, does JP want an extra day or shall i try to bring her forward? Or did we deal with this already and i've forgotten about it?

michaelbowdidge

Fine by me!

michaelbowdidge

well, Cecily sent in this quote from Philip Guston with/as her proposal, I see no reason why we can't use it as a 'teaser'.... "There is something ridiculous and miserly in the myth we inherit from abstract art. That painting is autonomous, pure and for itself, therefore we habitually analyze its in...

michaelbowdidge

Soooooo... any suugestions for the agenda for the meeting on thursday?

Where and when? 7 pm action room?

michaelbowdidge

hmmmm, do we know yet if we are going to do the matters/miguel thing with the lost parcel on thursday? if not we can bring the video day forward and extend it to two days - Simone what's the score with that? With regard to Irina's failing DVD I figured that what i could do is hang out for an hour or...

michaelbowdidge

done - see you then - are you going to bring the various dvds we have?

michaelbowdidge

will shop around on the printing front... do we need any of the computer gear at the forest? - if not then come over to mine if you like and bring the laptop if that's got what you need on it... Can do an early start, midday or earlier if you like?

michaelbowdidge

I can tell you really enjoyed that...
