Matthew Bournes Swan Lake

Matthew Bourne's 'Swan Lake'
Bradford Alhambra, March, 2010.

A compelling avant garde representation of the classic ballet swan lake. This beautiful production has clearer made Bourne for what he is. The 'damien hirst' of the dance world. Placing contemporary dance of this prestige on the map.

Ron Nudeck i mean Mueck


'Spooning Couple'
The hyperrealistic sculpture is potentially one of the most disturbing things ive seen in a while. The sheer scale of the piece reinforces this perhaps because it is so small yet looks real.
The attention to detail and the impecible technical ability is outstanding and somewhat needs to be this way in order for the piece to work.
The disturbing realism of the piece is something i can only describe as the uncanny. Mueck appears to be the cultivator of the notion of the uncanny here as the scuplture are life like just not life-size.

Room Mode


Three immersive installations that mark Dean Clough's first engagement with 'Sound Art'. Angie Atmadjaja, Theo Burt and Peter Worth present interactions between space, sound and light in isolated spaces around Dean Clough. Multi-channel sound, video, light tubes and computers all play their part in three very different explorations of formal structures and perceptual phenomena. Supported by Arts Council England.


Angie Atmadjaja: Intrinsic (2008): Sound-responsive light tubes reacting to standing waves made by single loudspeaker. Site-specific, using room acoustics.Theo Burt: Four (2008): Four light and sound emitting panels. Generated patterns of synchronised colour and noise.


Peter Worth: Material (2009): Two-channel synthesised audio and diffused projection. Durations of static timbre with solid colours.Three immersive installations that mark Dean Clough's first engagement with 'Sound Art'.

A single man

I was really surprised to hear that Tom Ford was directing and funding a film. Having the potential to be cliched the film had been poorly reviewed by some critics. However, still wanting to see it.

The film was surprisingly beautiful. The storyline was captivating and approachable a middle aged professor is left heartbroken after his long term partner dies in a car accident. The professor is denied access to the funeral so really all he is left is with his memories and his day to day life. The professor carries on through his life with an intention to end it. Plotting his own suicide that ultimately doesnt happen. Meeting a boy from his english class, the boy is curious about the professor. whether this is sexual or not is only to be assumed as there is a definitite undetone of homosexuality throughout the film. The professor gives in to the students interests and they go for a drink which later turns into a moment of running and swimming in the sea naked. The student is invited back to the professors house where his plot to kill himself has dissolved with his realisation that moments such as those bring clarity to his life and brings him back to reality. which ironically he has a heart attack and dies.

The film is cinematically filmed really beautiful, using panaromic movement. The professors moments of clarity are often expressed by an emphasis of the colours.
There is a continous music score which beautiful leaves the viewer in a state of wonderment at the sheer beauty of the pieces with respect to the films narrative.

Art Depression

Yes, i have clinically confirmed to myself that i have art depression. I have no desire to do any work. I hate art. I hate the pretence. Compulsive bullshitting.

I hate art and it probably doesnt even realise i hate it.
