Semester 2 brief, first tutor meeting, artist research, DCA visit & moving image workshop.

I always find the beginning of a project difficult because I always have a million different ideas I want to peruse. I’ve found that writing myself a brief, various mind maps, and lists are very useful in helping me visualise my thoughts so that I have a general idea to work from. Although sometimes writing lists and mind maps make me feel overwhelmed and I’ll end up falling down a rabbit hole and get off to a slow start.

I referred back to the feedback I received from last semester and used that to help me write a short brief to get me started:

An investigation and observation into human experiences (corporeal, emotional, mental, time, mortality etc), by bringing together lo-fi analogue and high tech digital image-making techniques, projection, film and sound.

I see this brief as a basic outline but at the same time something to keep looking back on and keep me on track.

I had my first tutor meeting with Gair, it was very informal and relaxed, and I showed him the brief I’ve written. He was really helpful by giving me artists to look into and certain works/films that I should research/watch. He mentioned the likes of David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and the Twin Peaks series. We also discussed the use of found sounds, images and videos within my work, as well as the relationship between old and new technology. We talked about how we experience sound and image within our modern world - how we always have our heads in our phones and earphones in, lost in our own worlds/bubbles - and how I could go about challenging that eg. a sound only cinema experience. His advice to get me kick started on my project is to pick one element relevant to my initial ideas to build off from. I think I am going to record/find a piece of sound to start off with because I think the sound will inspire many different atmospheres, emotions and visual ideas that I can begin to explore and work from.

- Artist Research -

I have begun researching my theme into more depth and researching artists whose work is relevant to the types of things I am wanting to develop further such as installation, film, sound etc. Some artists that inspired me and I researched in depth last semester include Tony Oursler, Bruce Nauman and Rene Magritte.

I have started looking at the works of Lygia Clark, she was a Brazilian artist who worked with installation, sculpture, painting and performance.

I am most interested in her works that are somewhat performative, interactive and ephemeral. She believed art should be experienced not just with the eyes, but as a total body experience. She believed that feeling an experience is far better than depicting it. Some of her work that I enjoy is her wearable works, they create different ways of seeing and break up the gaze, making the audience/participants become one with the work and experience it in their own way.

I have also begun looking at the works of Pipilotti Rist, a Swiss visual artist who creates experimental video and installation work.

So far from looking into her work I have found her combination of the human body, and obscure, glitchy and surreal elements really interesting and something I’d like to look into with my own work.

Some other artists on my list to research further include - David Lynch, Zoe Irwin, Janet Cardiff, Bill Viola and Nam June Paik.

- Seized by the Left Hand at the DCA -

I visited the exhibition Seized by the Left Hand at the DCA. The exhibition was very inspiring and exhibited multiple video projection and installation pieces which gave me lots of ideas for my own work. The short film by Isaac Julien was the work that drew me in the most at this exhibition. The work was experimental, mesmerising, captivating. I enjoyed its simplicity and how it shows a journey, however at the same time dislocates each setting from any specific time or space. A clip of this work can be found on my blog!

Map shows lynching went far beyond the U.S. south

An interactive map of lynching in the US from 1883 to 1941 reveals the surprising extent of mob violence.

It also underscores how the economy, topography, and law enforcement infrastructure paved the way for these brutal, violent crimes, according to researchers.

Although often thought of as unique to states in the southern US, Americans practiced lynching across the country and, although Southern blacks were by far the most common victim, the violence left few races and ethnic groups unscathed, says Charles Seguin, assistant professor of sociology and social data analytics at Penn State and an affiliate of the Institute for CyberScience.

View the interactive map here.

Seguin adds that slavery and racism’s effect on this mob violence is deeply etched into the patterns of lynching displayed on the map, but lynching also occurred in Northern states, which had abolished slavery long before the Civil War.

‘Our national crime’

“Although people knew about these lynchings at the time, I doubt many people today now know that brutal lynchings occurred in places like Chicago, Illinois; Duluth, Minnesota; or in Coatesville, Pennsylvania,” says Seguin.

“Further, many people probably do not realize just how brutal those lynchings were. What we are showing here is a legacy of racism and vigilante violence that stretches far beyond what is commonly remembered. I think that Ida B. Wells-Barnett put it best when she says that lynching was ‘our national crime.'”

The researchers drew on data the NAACP and Chicago Tribune collected of lynchings reported in the contiguous US from 1883 to 1941, as well as data from lists historians have published. Of the 4,467 people listed as victims of lynching, 3,265 were black, 1,082 were white, 71 were Mexican or of Mexican descent, and 38 were American Indian.

The researchers confirmed the data the Chicago Tribune and the NAACP collected by verifying the accounts in local newspapers. They also used the newspaper accounts to estimate the mob size and determine the race and gender of the victim, alleged offense that incited the mob, and the method of murder.

The aftermath of slavery

According to the researchers, the victims of mob violence in the South were overwhelmingly black. This pattern of violence, however, extended to areas outside of the deep Southern states, but remained centered in areas where slavery-intensive industries—including cotton, tobacco, and hemp farming—were located.

“In Missouri, for example, the map shows a cluster of black lynchings along the Missouri River, which was called Little Dixie, where slavery was prevalent in the growing of hemp and tobacco,” says Seguin. “In West Texas, also, you see another cluster of black lynchings. That marks the western edge of the cotton agriculture at that time.”

Seguin adds that other cultural and economic elements of slavery served as the infrastructure of the lynching regimes in that region.

“The almost perfect correlation between slavery and lynchings was surprising, but we’ve known that lynching was a legacy of slavery for a number of reasons,” says Seguin.

“Racism, of course, is a part of that legacy, but also how slavery structured the economy, placing poor whites in competition with newly freed black people. Much of the infrastructure used to carry out lynchings was also laid out in slavery. For example, slave patrols, which were made up of private citizens who formed manhunts to find escaped slaves, later served to conduct manhunts for lynching victims.”

In the American West, victims tended to be white, although there were also black, American Indian, Mexican nationals and people of Mexican descent, and Asian victims. In this region, which includes the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, New Mexico, and other Western states, the lynchings appear to be connected to a lack of official law enforcement organizations in those areas, according to the researchers.

The map also shows that topography and geography may have played an underlying role in lynching patterns. For example, in the Appalachian region, geography made the land unsuitable for large scale slave-based cotton agriculture. Many of those who lived there were whites engaged in herding agriculture, which tends to produce conflict over property, and a culture that emphasized the importance of defending one’s honor—violently if necessary. Lynching victims in much of the Appalachian tended to be white as a result, says Seguin

Future research may look at how certain lynching events served as a springboard for legal changes and shifts in public opinion on mob violence, says Seguin.

The research appears in the journal Socius. The data for this study are available on the researcher’s website.

David Rigby from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill is also a coauthor. The National Science Foundation supported this work.

Top 50 Restaurants For Seeing Celebrities

Want to dine like the stars or increase your odds of seeing one? Urbanspoon has collected the best restaurants for celebrity sightings in a culinary map to the stars.

Compiled from user data, reviews and expert commentary, the list of top 50 restaurants and cafes for star-gazing spans nine cities across the US, including New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Boston, Charleston, Chicago, Las Vegas, Miami and Washington D.C.

Urbanspoon is a restaurant guide that aggregates reviews from professional food critics, bloggers, and diners.

Big Jay-Z fan? Try scoring a table at The Spotted Pig in New York, or Cafe Gratitude in Los Angeles, editors say.

In New York, fans of Drake, Rihanna, Justin Bieber and Jason Segal may want to try their luck at Sons of Essex, a restaurant inspired by the immigrant and gentrification history of the Lower East Side — think “Gangs of New York” and the Bowery Boys.

Diners tuck into hearty, rib-sticking meals like fried chicken with kohlrabi slaw, jalapeno cornbread and Asian spiced honey and double cut pork chops with potato puree, roasted king oyster mushrooms and mustard brown butter, that average $30.

In Tinseltown, a night at Fig & Olive may mean sharing a dining room — and upping your chance of a celebrity selfie — with A-list stars like Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Robert Downey Jr., Halle Berry, Johnny Depp and Ryan Gosling.

So, let me start by saying what the media says about Ray Richardson:

‘Ray Richardson is the Martin Scorsese of painting’ Lindsay Macrae GQ Magazine

‘Ray Richardson is the David Lynch of paint and canvas’ Iain Gale The Independent

I must admit in researching Ray I was a bit gobsmacked to see that previous interviewers included one of my writing heroes Hanif Kureishi – no pressure then!! (see Conversation on Ray’s website). And what a generous man as when I pointed that out he said ‘The Hanif Kureishi thing was more a conversation than an interview (his suggestion) around his house one afternoon in Hammersmith done on an old school cassette player that took place over three hours and some poor sod had to edit afterwards so don’t worry about having to do that.’

There was a slight delay in him getting back to me as ‘Turps’ magazine launch yesterday that has a big article written on me by Marcus Harvey the guy who did the infamous Myra painting in the Sensation show a number of years ago.’

So here is my interview – you can always read a bit more on his Wikipedia page.

Bit of background and how you got into art before Goldsmiths and St Martins

I was born in Woolwich S.E. London in 1964. I studied at St Martins School of Art and Goldsmiths College. I’ve lived and worked in London, Brussels, Paris and Chicago and currently live and work in S.E. London

My paintings more than just a mirror of everyday life. They are drawn from my own experience of being born, bred and from living and working in London but also beyond there. When you look at my work you don’t have to experience it through the usual suspects of art history and great artists that I admire such from Breughel to Vermeer to Hopper to Richter. I see it it too through the minor musical language of Gil Scott Heron or the pulp history of James Ellroy or the motivation of cinema and photography.

I always drew as a kid but was a good footballer and was a junior at Spurs until I was fourteen but had decided in the back of my mind that I wanted to go to Art School ‘cos I was still drawing as a teenager (even though I didn’t really know why) even when I was playing football why I wanted to go to art school.

Influences on your work

Just two as there are too many to mention so Edward Hopper ‘Nighthawks‘ Breughel ‘The Land of Cockaigne‘ Goya ‘The Colossus‘ dunno where to stop really.

What was the best piece of advice that you were given when you were starting out as an artist?

Nothing really positive. My old man said ‘you only start earning in that game when you’re dead’. First day at St Martins a tutor gave a talk saying that ‘only 3% of you will still be doing this in ten years time’ but by the time I finished at Goldsmith’s they did in put a bit of a professional vibe that wasn’t happening anyway else at that time pre ‘ArtStar’ days. I was there when it’s rise began although it didn’t seem a big deal to be there at the time to be honest. I just kept saying to myself till this day the old Soul music saying of ‘Keep on keeping on’.

Can you tell me about some of your previous exhibitions

I was in a museum show alongside Francis Bacon, Lucien Freud, Sir Peter Blake, Paula Rego & David Hockney amongst others about Contemporary British Figurative Painting – it don’t get too much better really. One of my two paintings in that show called ‘Our Side of the Water’ it’s about where I grew up in Woolwich in London right by the Thames and it’s where I have my studio now and it’s of my mate who by day is a decorator but who is also a good artist. It’s a painting about hope in some poxy times that we’re all in – that’s what I like about it and it ain’t too bad either.

What is important to you about your art?

It draws on my life and experiences and so it has an honesty. I don’t want to do stuff that’s about other peoples stories. Sometimes our stories are the same but they got to be told in your own way otherwise it don’t feel right to me.

What is your process in creating a new piece / body of work?

When I’m in my studio I will work on a lot of pieces at the same time and I like working in the sketchbook drawing & writing bollocks that means something to me. That way I feel productive. I don’t start one work, see it all the way through until then end, and then start another. It’s far more organic than that. It has to be because if I get a block on one piece then by working on other works simultaneously those blocks can get unblocked sometimes without me knowing how. Fucking magic happens or not and I don’t sometimes know why.

Can you tell me something about what you will be doing at Upfest?

I don’t know what I’ll be doing at Upfest just yet. I’ve got a few ideas but I haven’t decided on one. I’m about to go away with my younger son for a short holiday (as he’s just graduated from Uni) so I’ll get me head around it while I’m away when he’s stuck into a film or his games or something then I’ll be away drawing away in my sketchbooks. Half the time I dunno what I’m doing next week.

What are you looking forward to most about Upfest?

I guess I don’t know what to expect so that’s quite exciting. Getting to see what other people get up to will be interesting. Getting out of South East London for a few days (ha ha).

Whose work are you looking forward to seeing?

Guy Denning. A blinding painter in my humble opinion and a top bloke off the pitch too.

Where are you at Upfest?

I’ll be working at St Francis Church nearby Royal Ti I think.

What have you got coming up for the rest of the year – where will people be able to see your next works

I did four or five one man shows in London, Luxembourg. Brussels & Lille in the last 18/20 months plus other bits & pieces in all over the shop so I said I’m doing nothing now (apart from some commissioned work and a bit of art fair shenanigans in Paris) until a one man show at Beaux Arts London in March 2018 and then in Brussels in September 2018. So keep ’em peeled…
