Unfortunately I couldnt get to the event. I gather it was a tricky compilation to put together with Journals spread far and wide over the country. As some people didnt even get their designated journal loose works were requested that could be inserted into the journals on site. Im glad to finally see some photos of the event which you can see here httpalturnertive.com100JournalsProject.aspxMy submissions came from a concept Id had on the back burner for some time. Ive always been aghast at the super skinny model phenomenon though I was a great fan of Twiggy in her time. I think its gotten worse since then. I liked to compare them to stick insects and thought it might be interesting to depict them as such. I noticed the latin name for the bugs was phantasmagoria and when digging deeper into the meanings found I could conjure up a kind of poetic but disturbing portrayal through words and images of t... 2010-3-29T00:00:00Z http://www.leslieworks.co.uk/page12.htm#60667 Smile an exhibition that brings back laughterExhibition Date 29.03.2010 Author Yara Tschallener For More Information Call 44 0207 326 0993Featuring works byAmy Russell 9679 Anna Siemaszko 9679 Ian Tatton 9679 Joe Townend amp Toby Owen 9679 Juan Blanco 9679 Leslie WilsonRutterford 9679 Maia Schweizer 9679 Paul Vincett 9679 Roxane Grant 9679 Sibylla McGrigor 9679 Soheila Keyani 9679 Soraia Almeida 9679 Susie Lowe 9679 Wiracha Daochai 9679 Zannah Cooper 9679Hanae UtamuraPrivate View Friday 2nd of April 2010 6 pm to 1am after Party with live musicDJExhibition runs from Monday 29th of March Thursday 8th of April 2010Gallery Opening Hours Mon Fri 11am to 6.30 pm Sat 12.30 pm 5.00 pmLast day of Exhibition Thursday 22nd of April 11.00 am to 5.00 pmThe exhibition Smile aims to act as a cultural antidote to the recent global depression natural disasters and a general mood of despondency.

My piece submitted for subMissive see previous blog which was included in the Temporary Art Spaces exhibition will continue to show at 2 new venues. Please see my pastfuture page for details. As some of you might know I have recently expanded my repertoire in trade. All this selling and exhibiting at fairs activity has really given me a passion for trading and so I have branched out into buying and selling of collectibles. Starting out at Art Junky 3 I was given a great opportunity to display and sell my book art multiples and trinkets alongside some funky accessories and bricabrac. I loved it and happily sold equal amounts of the two types of items.Since then I have done another Art Junky and a new fair at Bentley Priory in Harrow North London. At each I have sold equal amounts of art and collectibles. This has encouraged me to continue in this vein whenever possible. When I went home to Califo... 2009-12-10T00:00:00Z http://www.leslieworks.co.uk/page12.htm#37199 Through the Facebook groupArtists Books Collective I joined a collaborative mail art book project called submissive. Each contributor was sent instructions by the person below them on a list. Having been sent instructions byAlice Bradshaw I was instructed told to make a new book work from or inspired by 4 blank beer mats. It was no easy feat to create a work that had some meaning but was accessible too.Starting at theLeeds book fair theres a possibility of the work going on to exhibit at Temporary Art Space Beer Mat show in May 2009.I hope the subMissive exhibition in Leeds goes really well a little birdy told me members of the Tate will be visiting and with a lot of luck and determination I might even be able to turn up myselfIF YOU CANT BEAT EM JOIN EM A presentation a setting a reading. 4 beer mats and a facsimile pub table present a setting to glimpse at womens progress with alcohol through the 20th C from protesting liquor prude to shameless imprudent drinking hussy.

A good turnout of people came to see the first One Night Stand one of a series of three teams of curators three provocations and one space.The three curatorial groups are taking turns to deliver a provocation to one another and respond to a given stimulus. Monday nights response was by MA curating students of Sheffield Hallam University exploring the theme of defamiliarization in response to Victor Shklovskys text Russian Formalist Criticism. The provocation given to them was to take into account the nature of timespecificity. http1nightstands.blogspot.com I came across a call out from one of the participants Diana Ali via the Arts Council newsletter. She was asking for a response to the word defamiliarisation.
