Ahem!

19^th October 2009

Met with the other artists today and had a tour of the college facilities and staff. Some students were hanging around and it was great to meet some of them too. Feel slightly overwhelmed with the possibility of so much potential. Also feel very lucky and privileged to be given a chance like this to make some art work and connect with other artists and discuss art.

What is quite strange is that this art college looks exactly the same as the college that I attended in a previous century. The differences are that the rooms are more cramped and there are more students and they are more indebt than even the heaviest drinkers of my generation.

To discuss art!

This is something I always didn’t do whilst in college, in pubs or in any situation. I’m not sure why this is?  Maybe I needed a break from thinking about it. Maybe others didnt find it interesting. Does anyone ever talk about art?

Anyway, Im looking forward to finding out if this new generation of art students talk about art, and to find out what they know, and perhaps, for me, to remember what I know too.

Dylan Thomas meets Ivor the Engine meets Eraserhead... I think it should work.
