_My lastest Sunday evening project is an animation of a 3D mock-up of one of the installations called "Welcome to the Hotel Munber", at the Tate St Ives Spring 2012 show called "Simon Fujiwara Since 1982".
This is what I thought the installation was about when I went to the preview night. Someone (a man waering a fedora hat) was seating at a table behind the roped barrier, and so I assumed that they were part of the piece of art, an actor/artist doing performance art within  the installation.

However, modern art is often not what it appears to be. On my next visit a few days later, the man in the fedora hat was gone, and there was a member of staff sitting there instead. What a let down.

So I have tried to recreate my take on the whole thing. If you get a chance do go and check out the excellent exhibition.

An animation I did for the Tate St Ives show called "The Indiscipline of Painted", which ran from Oct 2011 to Jan 2012.

This is an Andy Warhol painting called "Eggs" that has been animated to a poem by Toby Lurie.

It is what I call a "Sunday Evening Project", trying to produce something in couple of hours from start to finish.

Yesterday was the last day of another "proper shop" closing it's doors for the last time in St Ives. It's a subject I go on about on my St Ives Comedy Walk as the town moves further away from reality towards a total tourist industry theme park. Who is moving in? I haven't heard the rumours yet, but I will report back when I do.
