<br />
Since I last posted I finished my degree and currently exist in post BA purgatory. More info on my graduate degree show shortly. I hope to use this blog to share my ideas and writing and save my tumblr for gifs and witty one liners.<br />
<br />
I still find it kind of difficult to talk my work, especially whatever it is I have just finished. I have been working as a tour guide for the whole degree show and today I had to explain this piece to some 14 year olds.<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5qfm2qgh21qaw36xo1_1280.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5qfm2qgh21qaw36xo1_1280.jpg" width="400" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">We Buy Art- 2012</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
I'm still trying to get the whole "online/irl artist" balance right, I don't really want to be a sculptor per se but I like the aesthetic of <i>stuff.</i> Objectively I could say this represents a lot about my about anxieties working in "virtual reality" and the value placed upon physical art. I'm still not sure.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Writing an artist statement is just about my worst nightmare, it's akin to writing the "about me" on your <i>MySpace </i>back in 2005 or your <i>OkCupid</i> in 2012 . Trying to be arch, I copied and pasted a quote once attributed to Mdme De Gaulle in a totally deadpan manner, I haven't had a message since.</div>
<div>
Out of my insistence that my artist statement should definitely be a one liner (the only sort o joke I can tell without cracking up) came a new strategy. Why should my artist statement be one sheet of A4 when it could be 140 characters?<br />
<br /></div>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW7jkq9C4_3GpVq6gD7ZnNdR-s3rdhyphenhyphen-03-QatOkQeF7uHiIFHfPk6udKReYYgcnNe93ejfFuNXdETpxOPM_fWY-dGjUhNtP5D_fR12L97PcbPoMXvDYY5-f39AfczO-DvBqSB30zDPFA/s1600/Picture+2431.png"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjW7jkq9C4_3GpVq6gD7ZnNdR-s3rdhyphenhyphen-03-QatOkQeF7uHiIFHfPk6udKReYYgcnNe93ejfFuNXdETpxOPM_fWY-dGjUhNtP5D_fR12L97PcbPoMXvDYY5-f39AfczO-DvBqSB30zDPFA/s1600/Picture+2431.png" /></a>
<br />
So every day I am going to post a new artist statement at twitter.com/loisjpg. Maybe at the end of the year I'll print them all out and do something with them or maybe that's the exact opposite of what needs to happen.<br />

<i>FREE 4 ALLAPRIL 16 - MAY 16<br />
<br />
BAR·ME·CID·AL: providing only the illusion of abundance; illusory or imaginary and therefore disappointing.<br />
<br />
Artists and curators JILLIAN KAY ROSS and MIKE GOLDBY celebrate their extended network of peers and contemporaries in BARMECIDAL PROJECTS' inaugural group exhibition FREE 4 ALL. FREE 4 ALL features work by ALEX MCLEOD, AMALIA ULMAN, ARIELLE GAVIN, BRAD TINMOUTH, BRIAN KHEK, DANIELLE BESSADA, DAVID HANES, EMILY JONES, GEORGIA DICKIE, IAIN BALL, JENNIFER CHAN, JILLIAN KAY ROSS, JON RAFMAN, JUSTIN BOCHEK, JÓNÓ MÍ LÓ, JARROD WILSON, KAITLIN TILL- LANDRY, LAUREN BRICK, LAUREN ELDER, LEE ORMEROD, LIAM WYLIE, LILI HUSTON- HERTERICH, MIKE GOLDBY, ORLANDO ORELLANO, RACHAEL MILTON, SHELBI CHEW, and TARA DOWNS, unifying artists working both immaterially and physically. The high-gloss, hyper-real finish of the rendered exhibition obscures the boundaries between Real and Representation. So shiny, so irresistible by virtue of its digitallness, FREE 4 ALL supersedes certainty.</i>Lois.Jpeghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12225982832950519091noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5899076477086744285.post-4438559158304161062011-04-06T17:14:00.001+01:002011-04-06T17:16:26.223+01:00Mike Ruiz<img height="640" src="http://mikeruiz.org/files/replaced-small.jpg" width="428" /><br />

Or something. <br />
Anyway I went mad and bought two new domains, check it out! The first is obviously a basic homepage to link to all my other shisse but the second is my new project which I hope will combine both "new media" and traditional stuff.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For a while I wanted to make something physical but rather than simply design an art book of my stuff I thought why not make a whole new website then publish it.

Lest we forget January 1st is only one "New year" in one of many systems of organised dates, but maybe I'm pissed cos I never get kissed at midnight.<br />
<br />
What have I been doing? Sleeping, listening to New Order a lot, playing warcraft, making stuff. Today I went to print out some photos from an exhibition and my printer decides to break. I'm not sure why I should print out everything I do and put it in a sketchbook when it's easily archived online but I don't want to <i>fail</i> now.<br />
(More on that exhibition coming up)<br />
<br />
Anyway here is some stuff I have done over the festive period, make your own connections and meanings etc<br />
