I was at the pub today with Vickie Wood of CECI, discussing the next performance, when I thought I’d bring up the question about how to mention the previous performance on my CV. Do I say that I worked with CECI, as part of CECI, collaborated with, performed with or as part of or some other terminology? I only asked this because I don’t want to take credit for work that I’ve had minimal input in.

I’ll put it into a perspective bit more. When I first performed with Insectoid and CECI I didn’t have any input other than my performing of their piece. So, for that I’d just say I performed with them. However, as I’ve gotten to know the work more I’m at the point where I’m helping make decisions about future work. So, what do I say then? Have I collaborated with them, worked with them or performed with them?

What does everyone else in arty/blogging land think? I may be being a tad bit over cautious, but I really don’t want it to seem like I’m taking credit for anyone elses work.

There’s an open submission thingy going on and the theme is ‘In Common’. I want to look at what we have in common with nature.

So, I guess the first question is:

What do we have in common with nature?

Answers on a postcard please.

On Wednesday I was asked by CECI to help out with the FluxFeast performance at VIVID. From the VIVID website:

FluxFeast is an attempt to undermine the monumentality of art through the use of food

Myself, along with other members of CECI, were slightly sinister, yet at times playful waiters. My favourite part of the night involved the waiters swapping and changing dishes with other diners whilst they were blindfolded!

H4NUM4N has a few more photos of the event

I’m going to be moving into exclusively using open source software to create artwork in the near future*. More on why once I get my head around some of the software.

*that is unless it’s completely necessary that I use a piece of commercial software e.g. GMIP doesn’t support CMYK, yet Photoshop does.

On Wednesday 18th June I was helping out fellow artist Vickie Wood at the graduate exhibition at Margaret Street. Several of you may have seen me look a little like this

I shan’t explain, but instead point you to the website to find out more
