I began this blog at the beginning of 2010 as a kind of thinkdump for the process of being an artist and how it differs radically from my intentions, how domestic reality constantly interferes with the creative. In writing this blog I am trying to embrace these interstitial episodes as being the creative.

Endgame (1957)

Nell: Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.
Nagg: Oh?
Nell: Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.

Escalator

Dear Anna-Marya,I am writing to tell you that selection for the forthcoming Escalator assembly Unrealised - Unrealisable has taken place and unfortunately on this occasion you have not been selected to attend.Unsurprisingly, as one of the few fully funded programmes of its kind in England, Escalator is oversubscribed and competition to attend Escalator events is fierce.We are committed to keeping access to Escalator an open process, however what this means is that due to high levels of interest in the programme we are unable to give individual feedback to those not selected. In general, the reason is simply that on this occasion others were able to articulate the urgency of this assembly at this moment is time, and how work their work is appropriate to the theme.Thank you for taking the time to apply and I hope you will continue to consider future Escalator opportunities.With all best wishes,Gareth Bell-Jones
