phil thompson mfa: Ganahl reflection
http://philthompsonmfa.blogspot.com/2007/07/ganahl-reflection.html
Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Sunday, 29 July 2007. Writing about Rainer Ganahl. One Annoying thing about Ganahl is…his website is down! Just when I need to collate images and texts from him. I’ve had to rely upon third party sources! Which are hard to find! I fear Ganahl is in the throws of updating his site, for the Venice biennale…must keep checking. I “completed” chapter two, and started writing conclusions about all the artists (Tyson, Du, Mik, Hirschhorn, Patterson…. Gabi and Phils webspace.

Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Tuesday, 30 January 2007. 300107 First day back. Well, I'm back after the first semester.I'd submitted a successful first semester folio and supporting documentation, gaining some excellent feedback and helpful criticisms from Iain.

I am greatly interested in Charles Sandison's. Bought / listening to :. Boomkat - exc...

Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Wednesday, 30 May 2007. Start of semester 3. It's been a while. I've had my marks back, and they were ok, I've passed, which is great, but my marks were down on semester 1, the only one in the class to "get worse".but, I must confess, I feel quite lucky to get two 4's - I know I did not put enough in to semester two, as I did for semester one. Listening to : slayer - season in the abyss : lauren hill - the mis-education of lauren hill. Tuesday, 15 May 2007. We get our ...

phil thompson mfa: chapter 3 staarted (my Practice)
http://philthompsonmfa.blogspot.com/2007/07/scrap-chapter-3-its-shite.html
Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Monday, 30 July 2007. Chapter 3 staarted (my Practice). I stuck the daily mirror to the Full Stop, and started thinking about how the inky hands part of the work could function on its own…I have been formulating ideas about video work, based on “transference” – passing information from one place to another. The ramifications or implications of transfer - perhaps some comparison with disease? Stuck Daily Mirror to Full Stop. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

http://philthompsonmfa.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Monday, 30 April 2007. I've started looking at compiling my "imaginary show" based on squares.I've read that Quadrum means "Square" or "frame" in Greek.very handy! Anyway, enough of all this chat.I need to write an essay, in the form of a welcoming text to an imaginary show called "Quadrum" - and an imaginary review (by me) of said show.am I biting off more than I can chew? You never know till you try. Failure is a good learning process, you can only learn from you...

Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Tuesday, 31 July 2007. Reflective reflection.reflects.(balls). Drawing on previous works and reflection on newer works for the dissertation. It feels clunky and a bit trite…it’s quite hard talking about the work…and I think it’s too prescriptive…. Stuck P&J to full stop. Monday, 30 July 2007. Chapter 3 staarted (my Practice). Or random acts of kindness…I like the idea of the indiscriminate neutrality of possibility, for good or bad, or “nothing”…. Sunday, 29 July 2007.

Phil thompson - Master of Fine Art. Friday, 30 March 2007. Trip to Kinker - Gordon Watt. It's still great working with him, as we discuss possibilities, perhaps, again, it's my lack of understanding of the use of glass, what it can do, what it can't do.It seems that I come up with sugestions that don't quite cut the mustard in glassworld. "how about this? That would be exciting! When we head back, the plaster is still wet (obviously! So I head back. First, we devise a plan of what we'll be doing over...
