Another office has been absorbed into my collection in this 100 year old building. This place continues to fascinate me with it's string of characters who each have different motives for congregating in this palace on the tracks.
What is that Thing that creates? Where does it come from and how do we summon it. With this wide range of mediums being practiced here the answers are broad reaching. Opening our studios on June 1st brought this conversation forward for me frequently.
I spent May producing a series of short videos on the topic, and on the neighbourhood that inspires us.
Ironically, Kermodi has been broken into twice in as many weeks, windows are regularly smashed often just for pleasure, and we probably should have more security in place then we do. Yet we are all still here, creating, watching the trains, smelling the roasting coffee and smiling about it all.
Some day I will come up with a smart, self-reflective one that can tie all of these together.
Christine Schuss showed her work in one of my studios and we are just about to re-hang the unsold pieces, which aren't many. I'm looking for another new artist to show in August, as it's obviously a valuable venue for those who are putting together their first or second solo show. Suggestions welcomed.
