    • Listen to MAKING IT SOUND LIKE I AM MAKING ART FOR FIFTEEN MINUTES December 10, 2009
      If you missed me making it sound like I was making art for fifteen minutes on Resonance FM the other week, you can hear it again below. It was originally broadcast on November 16th as part of the antepress art writing programme Digestives. My next Digestives programme isn’t until early February. In the meantime here’s a [...]

    • Beaks December 6, 2009
      This afternoon I drew the tip of my pencil with itself and the nib of my biro with itself. I drew them in my line drawing book, which makes them the first traditionally representational drawings on its pages. They continue my exploration of the line as a representational tool that joins word to thing, and [...]
    • Line Drawn from Pencil to Paper December 3, 2009
      A line drawn from pencil to paper makes a dot. It’s a dot upwards through space that begins on the paper and travels to the tip of the pencil, but because paper and pencil meet so closely, the upwards projection of the dot from the paper is very slim. [...]
    • Smiles on Paper November 30, 2009
      On Saturday I presented a new work at the Stanley Picker gallery during the Writing Exhibitions symposium. Here’s an outline of my work, which I called Genuine Smiles: A sheet of paper is attached to one wall of the gallery, and attached just below it is a long piece of string with a sharpened pencil fixed [...]

    • Tamarin is talking very FAST November 26, 2009
      Rachel Lois Clapham and Alex Eisenberg documented today’s 10 Performances event with a live feed they updated throughout the day. By the time my performance What To Do begins they’re halfway down their third page. I love their occasional attempts to type out variations on everything I was saying. You can read what they’ve written [...]

    • Sneak Preview of DO SOMETHING November 19, 2009
      I hear my artist book DO SOMETHING is back from the printers. The good people at (un)limited store have put a couple pictures on their website, along with glimpses of the other five books in the series. The book launch is at ARTISTBOOKINTERNATIONAL at the Centre Pompidou in Paris from 4-6 December. [...]

The Art School Brand

Posted on October 15, 2007 by Tamarin

Superbrands (UK) Ltd. has published its official list of Britain’s coolest brands 2007/08. Top five from the ‘experts’ are:

Saying my old college is cooler than Apple is a curious accolade. It comes from a Superbrands council representing “a diverse collection of perspectives and experiences, although they are mainly media personalities who influence opinion, e.g. [...]

Pilot:3

Posted on October 14, 2007 by Tamarin

Pilot:3 isn’t an art fair, it’s a “live archive for artists and curators”. But programing this understated three-day event to coincide with the London art fairs lends it an air of revolution, and suggests a bold departure from the Frieze-regulated model of mass art conventions.
It’s free entry and there’s nothing for sale but the accompanying [...]

The event isn’t until November 7 but tickets for “Fair’s Fair: Why do we love to hate art fairs?” [...]

Year_07: London’s fastest-rising star?

Posted on October 12, 2007 by Tamarin

When I eventually found my way in to the Year_07 Art Fair yesterday it’d only been open for about an hour and they still hadn’t put any signs up. Everyone I met on the way there was also lost, and once inside there was still a fair amount of confusion. Refreshingly, it felt about as [...]
