This is next level frustrating
1 - apply for DYCP funding from Arts Council
2 - get email that a decision letter awaits but you have to log in to Grantium
3 - try to log in to Grantium and it's not available and hasn't been all afternoon
I'm unlikely to get the money but I'd like to know!

I love a studio visit and I had a great one last week with Laura White, ahead of an exhibition at Phoenix Art Space in autumn
We talked about the process of making, the joy of pushing materials to their limits and how enjoy and utilise what happens when they fail

The second part of RH Lossin's writing on AI art and hegemony is so good - if AI and art and in particular how it's being applied to anti-racist, anti-colonialist endeavours is a subject that interests you then it is well worth your time

Stop fucking saying he blamed “DEI,” which is some abstract, non-tangible idea. He is blaming people of color having jobs he thinks they aren’t qualified for. He’s blaming race. He’s being racist every time he says it. Journalists need to get fucking backbones, my word.

Yes - make this!
Most people’s updates on social media atm are *about* social media…so it’s literally meta now, I guess?
I did an installation sort of about this in 2019 ‘LOOP’, with 2 phone screens displaying an endless reflection of themselves. Maybe a 2025 update is due?

This is such critical work happening in archiving these queer histories
Our Community Champion Kate spoke with @divamag.bsky.social about Brighton's first lesbian club night:
“I wanted something that was about music as much as it was about sex and sass... It was ours... We wanted to not be an afterthought.”

A grey winter’s day visit to Hastings Contemporary for the Immortal Apples, Eternal Eggs exhibition exploring the practice of still life. Work pictured is a section of Cathie Pilkington’s funny, sad and uncanny Singerie. The show is definitely worth a visit if you’re able to
