If you have an interest in Artist books then you should consider visiting the Turner House Gallery in Penarth on Saturday the 15th November.
The event puts you in touch with Artists creating hand made books, monographs, magazines and ‘zines.
This looks to be a nice event where you look at Artist books, hopefully buy some, talk to the artists and have a nice cup of coffee (Turner House Gallery does make good coffee).
If you need more details take at look at: http://www.ffotogallery.org
If you’ve just visited http://www.sharedcreation.com then no doubt you have had a big surprise. The old style home page has been replaced with an information packed blog style page. The reasoning for this is simple. Shared Creation has evolved into a network that is information and inspiration centric (with a bit of lunacy thrown in via Twitter). As such it needed a home page that reflected this. Something that brought everything together.
There is more work to be done. We need to reinstate that links database, get commenting back on and also re-launch our Google Ads but this change does reflect a major step forward. One that is designed to make Shared Creation much easier to use.
We hope you like the changes -our plan is simple; make Shared Creation more useful to you.
If you like Horror films then you want to visit Aberystwyth between November the 12th and 16th as this beautiful coastal town playing host to the Abertoir horror festival. Located in the Aberstwyth Arts Centre Abertoir looks like being a packed event. I’ve been looking at the web site and there is a great schedule of events planned. Including (and this is the one that caught my eye) a short Horror film competition with a £500 first prize. Abertoir isn’t just about celebrating horror - it wants to bring on the next generation of horror writers and film makers.
If this has wetted your appetite take a look at: http://www.abertoir.co.uk/
And yes - I like the name - horror should have a sense of humour
I’m writing this on a Saturday night after running some major upgrades on the Shared Creation blogging engine.
Right now it all looks a little different, and I feel compelled to let you know what is going on.
Shared Creation has been running for time and its been overdue for a fresher look. The posting has also gotten a little confused between the Magazine and Projects section. From now on the Magazine will be much more a traditional blog, it will run news, articles, updates regarding Shared Creation and other associated material. The Projects section will spend its time highlighting creative projects, and will talk about what it is like to create things in a digital age. All previous posts will be left in current positions to allow for ease of continued access.
This is all part of a series of updates that will move Shared Creation from being a cluster of sites / blogs and turn it into a network that aims to be a useful resource for people trying to create art in a digital age.
I’ll expound more on this and the changes coming to the Shared Creation over the next weeks as the changes bed in.
Tank.tv a web site that specialises in showing new and original works from artists working in the medium of the moving image is running a series of three competitions to find new work for a series of exhibitions planned in 2009.
Entries must be no more than 10 minutes long and submitting artists must have a body of work consisting of 10 more pieces of moving image work to enter.
Further details can be at the
Three Graces website.
Good luck with the short films
