The Beautiful Losers is a new release set to open in the next month in London and possibly worldwide. The trailer which I included in the lead up to my video piece, is at the bottom. The artists are now looking for submissions from artists on Jotta to show work at their premier I would love to do this, I love the idea of what the artists are trying to do and am submitting my film to be show there woohoo! There is the chance it could be shown at the premier in front of hundreds of people, all that hard work has count for something, will keep you posted. Try and submit something it might get in and be good experience.

The Treatment Rooms

There was and possibly still is an exhibition by Carrie Reichardt aka The Baroness at the gallery space at Camberwell College of Arts London. This was one of the women I interviewed for my video piece, she's a great artist very political and talented. Heres a link to her site, check her show if its still on its in the foyer on the College I would be able to tell you if it was still up, but Ive been banned AGAIN from entering the building after asking further questions about the College and making complaints about my course post degree, which they assured me they would answer...how Im supposed to apply to at least get my course fees back I dont know..there doesnt appear to be a process. The students union weirdly enough has also stopped contacting me...

Oh my god I cant believe it they didnt let me show my work, its terrible. My parents are coming to the show this week and they really wanted to see my work. I cant believe it, I spent a year working on this project, they are unbelievably corrupt and dispicable, I will never ever deal with this college again. It is the lowest of the low to do this to me, I am also unable to attend my degree show. Which is also horrendous, due to this video being made, they have simply asked me not to attend the show!I wanted free beer!

Final Installment

There may some hold up on my degree show, i will be showing...not exactly on monday though....

Thank you all for taking part in my degree show trailer if you like, it was wonderful of you to take the time to watch the videos that I prepared specially. I hope you have a great summer, please enjoy the last installment. This is specially dedicated to duets, and what men and woman can achieve by working together, instead of subjugating each other, by enforcing power over each other and making each other feel like crap, or otherwise. There is the possibilty that men and woman could do great things when working together, its all about Ying Yang, black and white, loud and quiet, the seen and the unseen...duality.

Check out my degree show piece at this years final year show:

Cat Power and domestic Violence - 6th Installment for Ladies

Talking with Cat Power

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk6qD1Uh4PQ

I saw this lady play at the barbican a couple of years ago. Shes amazing, her on stage performances used to be crazy she had a lot of issues at the begginning of her career. Shes now completely sober and really great to watch live!Here she talks openly and honestly about her triumphs and struggles over the span of her musical career so far. Shes also the loveliest woman in the world.

Cut Movie - Keira Knightley
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctoZbeD-GlY

This is a really good advert it raises awareness of domestic violence very well which is sadly a part of some womens lives in the Uk, and for some men also.

I just love audre Tatou, this advert is great really well directed. I love the whole allure of two strangers on a train, great stuff!

Female Liberators and Revolutionaries

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6Y-C1BIJ1Q

This is a fascinating video about the hidden histories of female revolutionaries. This I feel is a good representation of how women do achieve in society, and often end up in high status positions and have great working methods whether artistically or politically. However they are often just not written into the history books...so when it comes to the fact that there are not female graphic designers or great female artists...its very likely that there have been and are..they just arent/werent written much about....there clearly needs to be some kind of profile raising for female artists...they just seem not to be recognised very much, but by the looks of this video it could be a recurring theme.

http://www.suppressedhistories.net/
This is the site that the last video came from, have a look around it might be of interest to some of you.The idea of unwritten or hidden histories is something that I have only recently discovered myself, through talking with female artists recently about this issue.Some of excerpts from these conversations can be (self promotion) seen in my final piece "The Glass Ceiling" at this years coming degree show.

Dont forget to check out the blog, so you can rewatch or catch up on any of the old posts and see what the gents are watching too.

Yeah this guys great I saw a show of his in Bethnal Green a few years ago, I had to walk through an upturned van that was wedged in between the doors of the gallery to get into the exhibition, loved it had a great time. He really knows how to use space to its maximum potential in a gallery.

An old skool skater from the 1980's takes his art to the galleries. Though not majorly well known to the world as a prolific artist, I did think this video was amazing, it just showed what you can do when you put your mind to it, and the public are open to everything. As its said in close encounters of the third kind, "If you build it they will come"

I got a flyer in the post for this, these guys sound kinda interesting, for those of you interested in Politics, these guys might be a viable option!

I don't care what anyone
has to say about Courtney Love
she kicks butt,
she's one of the great icons of
the 90's without her singing
I don't think a lot of female
singers would be where
they are now,
she really stood out,
and has taken ALOT of sh*&t
from people...why she's been
slated so much is unusual...
anyway shes ace,
and this video is of a classic
Hole song.Enjoy.

On the air...Internet...Vibe...

Hey guys, I'm really excited about my new project. I'm trying to discover why there just arent that many female artists in the world. Being a female art student myself and budding artist, I really wanna know why that is. So Im embarking on an adventure to discover why, I will be reading and learning about feminism over the coming weeks and talking to female artists and students. Please come with me on a journey through time and space, and we can solve the mysterys of the universe together!!
