I just wanted to thank everyone that attended the workshops on Tuesday and Wednesday. My ambition was for a re-newed excitement for painting. I certainly went away with this. I think it would have been useful to explore supports for painting and various priming methods in more detail. In the meantime The John Jones web site is worth looking at for this information. I have added this information under art suppliers. Please make any suggestions that you may have for how this type of workshop can be improved, I would be very grateful for your feedback. Please find some of the initial painting experiments made on Tuesday. I look forward to seeing how the work progresses on my next visit in a few weeks time. Sarah
Both the 'AS' Painting exhibition catalogue and 'Painting at the edge of the World' are important for the period, both exhibitions were held in the US.(2003) The 'Painting Present'. (Tate ) series has pod casts of both exhibition curators, Stephen Melvile and Douglas Fogule. (Fogule talks about the exhibition in 'Curating Painting,' Useful as a way in. Both important in consideration of alternative strands to Modernism. Worth taking the time to read.
