Art and Fear: Observations on the Perils (and...
“If art is about the self, the widely accepted corollary is that making art is about self-expression. And it is-but that is not necessarily all it is. It may only be a passing feature of our times that validating the sense of who you are is held up as the major source of the need to make art. What gets lost in that interpretation is an older sense that art is something you do out in the...

My mantra / What I believe.
My mantra: 1. CREATE 2. SHARE 3. SUSTAIN 4. GO BACK TO 1. Things I believe: - Raw visual impact wins over technical perfection. - People give their best when you trust them. - Collaboration always stimulates new growth. - Creativity and business are not opposites. - Help those around you to get to where they want to be and everyone wins. - Work = joy. If not then it’s time to shake...

Extract from 'Club Land', by Richard Evans.
“Aren’t they happy?” Me to my guide, “I thought the chase is what they want.” “And so do they, it’s not just pride that keeps them stuck. Like hungry ghosts, in all they have, they feel a lack. A camera rolls, watching their most thrilling times with cold rebuke: ‘Is this all? Is this all you have? Just work and sleep and drink and...

How 10 minutes with a good teacher made this...
tomdavenport: Many of us have had a teacher or mentor whose influence helped set us on the path we lead today. This story from b3ta is a funny and warming example of how a teacher and a short conversation can change everything.  I always found English to be one of the more boring lessons; poetry-appreciation, Shakespeare and, worst of all, Jane fecking Austen. I mean, really - what do I care if...

Powerful work from Jodie Bieber
I’m not a press photographer, but it’s a field in which I make a point of regularly seeking out quality work and letting it change me in some way. This link is to a controversial image by Jodie Bieber, for which she’s just won the World Press Photo award. Some people argue that images such as this are a form of voyeurism, the phrase “pornography of suffering” gets...

…1994 when I had my revelation, my epiphany. It was circa 1am in a tiny club in the city of Bath (south-west England, UK) called The Hub. Carl Craig was DJ’ing, playing classic funky Detroit techno tunes. A couple of hundred people were dancing like the possessed. It was during Ron Trent’s seminal work Altered States that something happened, I wasn’t willing it to happen,...
