    • 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 [...]
    • 10 Performances November 25, 2009
      Tomorrow I’m performing a revised version of my illustrated talk What To Do as part of the Beyond Text 10 Performances event. The event lasts all day, and as we contribute our performances details of each one will be posted online here, so you can watch the event unfold even if you can’t be there [...]

      I’m practising for the 26th.
    • 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. [...]
    • Word Play at the Whitechapel Gallery November 18, 2009
      Tomorrow evening from 7pm antepress are hosting an art writing event at the Whitechapel. Here’s a bit about us from their website. Continuing the series of playful and participatory events exploring language and its parameters, writers collaborate with artists to produce games and scenarios that challenge the audiences’ relationship to language. This W […]

    • Describing Genuine Smiles November 14, 2009
      This evening I’m going to describe to some friends the following work, which is the same work that appears in the diagram I drew last week. We won’t be able to put the work into practice because we’ll be at someone’s home and we won’t be able to draw lines all over its walls, and [...]

    • The Real Experiment November 4, 2009
      Allan Kaprow again. One characteristic of the lifelike art that was emerging in the sixties: “Various performative modes became the effective way to deal with this shift to the actual environment. Performing was doing something, not acting in theater – moving furniture, for example, just to do it, or because you were changing apartments.” T […]

The Art School Brand (2)

Posted on October 16, 2007 by Tamarin

Yesterday I wrote about the lack of genuine benefit the ‘cool’ CSM brand offers its own students and graduates. Now I find the current Art Monthly (310, p.19) is running a very short anonymous polemic that paints a bleaker picture, arguing that the costly cultivation of PR machines in universities actually reduces the standard of [...]

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 [...]

Art Monthly Debate: Fair’s Fair

Posted on October 13, 2007 by Tamarin

Art Monthly have capitalised on the recent letters page debate between Lisa Le Feuvre and Peter Suchin over the function of art fairs by inviting both of them over to the ICA for a panel discussion. 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 [...]

Art on Tap

Posted on September 20, 2007 by Tamarin

I’ve decided to discontinue the iCal gallery feed, partly because my glamourous assistant no longer has time to keep it going, and partly because the calendar format can’t do justice to the enormous amount of good stuff out there without looking jumbled up, even if we’re selective about what we include.
But all is not lost! [...]
