Back home: final w0budong pics

This week has flown by; I arrived back from Manchester on Monday and have been busy with various appointments and more workmen in the house.

w0budong came down last Sunday.  It was a brilliant experience;  I so enjoyed meeting and talking to the other artists about our work, being artists, artists' spaces, studying and more.  The exhibition looked very good:

Jayne's performance:

The space looked great; quite industrial it is an empty retail unit. the marks on ceiling, walls and floor added to the whole experience, reflecting the quality of the work installed in there.

First Mail Chimp Newsletter and W0budong

I have taken hours to get to grip with the Mail Chimp thingy, and still, the newsletter does not appear in my own inbox!  Why is that, I wonder, does anyone have the answer to this?  If you do, please post me a comment or email me, I would be very grateful.

So, here is the link to my first ever newsletter:

Let me know what you think!



I have put the notification about the upcoming show in Manchester in the newsletter, but I shall repeat it here because I am so excited about it!

http://w0budong.wordpress.com/  is the link to a website featuring the participants, artists Jayne Lloyd, Catherine Wynne-Patton, Claire Smith, Julie Brixey-Williams and Sue Gough.  During the next few months we shall be blogging/discussing ideas relating to the work and the exhibition on the site, the culmination of which will be the exhibition in Piccadilly Place, Manchester.  (details below)

The title, W0budong, is a phonetic translation of ‘I don’t understand’ in Mandarin, which I just love.  It reminds me of the title of the artists group I was part of, " Ennoia", meaning  "a thought before it is fully formed", taken from a Greek word if my memory serves me correctly.

The show is being held at:

Three Piccadilly Place, Manchester M1 3BN on 10th - 16th March 2014

The work by the other artists looks amazing from the photos on the web site; I am really looking forward to seeing it all properly and meeting them in the real world rather than the virtual one. Happy days!
