Isabelle outlines her 100 media project which has been to compose a list within a constrained space in an artist’s studio. This is a formal exercise in making, similar to the work that fluxus (outline, and their project) and OULIPORead more…
What’s Happened?
There’s movement on the blogs after a period of torpor, but no one is coming to the studios? Curious as to why? Monique has a good post with a variety of contextualising quotes for her project about what a fenceRead more…
