Haven't been on here for a while
Muchos has been on since August. What with travelling around Europe and starting third year I've moved on a lot from where I was at the beginning of the summer. My next couple of posts will be awsum pictures which inspire and excite me, things I've done, things other people have done, things I want to go to.
Good news is I've heard the Museum of Everything is coming back!

Potential new Artists Statement?
Hannah Bishop’s work explores the ignored and undervalued nature of the everyday, concerned with exposing beautiful bypassed entities as being what makes up the majority of our existence. Small interventions into the ordinary, a sign on the street, a faint drawing on a chair, a carefully grown weed that’s been left on a doorstep, ‘provoke tiny moments of awareness’[1]. Interested in the variety of mundane happenings and seemingly uninspiring moments the work dwells in quiet contemplation on what is right before the eyes, in opposition to aiming for the unobtainable dream that capitalist society sells us. Ephemeral and miss able the artwork is an alternative to escapism, and calls for an appreciation of the beauty of the pattern of a piece of gravel or the painterly qualities of a damp mark on the ceiling, that which we all have right before our eyes. ‘Today we are facing another economic meltdown and… Art practice will free itself again from grounded institutions’[2]. The glory of the everyday, the magnificence in the ordinary, the splendor of the mundane, the appreciation for the smaller things, is truly what we should value in light of the consequence of unbridled consumerism.
