Update/Reminder

EMAIL REMINDER FROM LOZZY:

"This is just a reminder about the official proposal deadline which is Wedneday 11th. Thank you to everyone that's already sent theirs over, it's a great help!

Everyone else, now that the journal is handed in, get yourselves in gear! We've had lots of people expressing interest, and telling us what they've got planned, but we really need it all wrote down so we can begin to plan the layout and the promotion for the show.

A copy of the proposal can be found in the posts below

BERLIN TRIP

If you intend to go on the Berlin trip, that's great! With the flight not getting back till late on the 24th Feb, and the exhibition opening on the 25th, you will not be around for the install. We will try to accommodate this, provided you make sure we have the work before you leave[with instructions if necessary], and it is easy to put up, and you make sure you're at the preview night! 

Thanks everyone,

Lozzy"

 

 SIDE NOTE FROM BEX:

If anyone is concerned about the theme please let us know in advance. It is a really flexible theme, if you think of it in the right way, but we can help out with any worries.

I've found some quotes about growth that may inspire or aid people. They are aimed at the growth of yourself as an artist but it may help out :

From a small seed a mighty trunk may grow. (Aeschylus)

Growth itself has the germ of happiness. (Pearl S. Buck)

If you are lucky, and if you live long enough, and if you trust your materials and you trust your instincts, you will see things of beauty growing up in front of you, without you having anything to do with it. (Michael Cardew)

Look at the earth crowded with growth, new and old bursting from their strong roots hidden in the silent, live ground, each seed according to its own kind... each one knowing what to do, each one demanding its own rights on the earth... So, artist, you too from the deeps of your soul... let your roots creep forth, gaining strength. (Emily Carr)

I think that one's art is a growth inside one. I do not think one can explain growth. It is silent and subtle. One does not keep digging up a plant to see how it grows. (Emily Carr)

Artistic growth is, more than anything else, a refining of the sense of truthfulness. The stupid believe that to be truthful is easy: only the great artist knows how difficult it is. (Willa Cather)

Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow. (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

- The Tipping Point
Ideas and products and messages and behaviors spread just like viruses do. (Malcolm Gladwell)

The work keeps getting deeper, more honest. I continue to work on a piece until I feel it breathe on its own. (Laura Harris)

Art is not an amusement, nor a distraction, nor is it, as many men maintain, an escape from life. On the contrary, it is a high training of the soul, essential to the soul's growth, to its unfoldment. (Lawren Harris)

In his attempt to develop the beauty he sees, the artist develops himself. (Charles Hawthorne)

Growth comes when you can take a statement and go beyond it to achieve something even better and more exciting. (Roberta Horton)

Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth. (John F. Kennedy)

Do something beyond what you know, otherwise there is no growth. (Billie F. Mathis)

Change is inevitable. Growth is optional. (John C. Maxwell)

All growth is a leap in the dark, a spontaneous, unpremeditated act without benefit of experience. (Henry Miller)

Failure is a precursor to growth. (Gina Mollicone-Long)

Please send your proposals in to us by the 11th. I dont want to have to start chasing people around. Be excited about this! It's going to be awesome and help with raising a bit of money for the degree show!
