Saw "They Shoot Horses Don't They ?" last night. A few months ago we had a dance competition
in Seymours family club for a night called disco ordination. This dance competition only went on for about hlaf an hour if that and it was fun, but They Shoot Horses is about a sadistic dance derby set in depression era US. If you are looking for happy endings, Dirty Dancing, Stricly Ballroom, Saturday Night Fever, blah blah this film aint gonna give you any. It's about People being the ultimate spectacle. It's so ahead of it's time, and
has parellels with how we watch reality TV.
In my own life I am using my studio ( It has a table and chair) and although I like being tucked away where no one knows where I am in my fantasies, Reality is that I do like to chatter chatter chatter and do feel free to come and say hello. It's so great having a space. Am about to head down there now.
So I am looking at competitive dance in my drawings but as in Ballroom dancing. and from
ballroom dance magazines from the 50's 60's and 70's, from a publication called Ballroom dancing times. I guess what interests me in making these drawings are the attention to detail of a publicity shots, published in an enthusiasts magazine that have only really be seen by ballroom dancers. Yesterday I managed to get hold of some more karisma pencils, there are still a few in Bristol Fine Art. I layed all the drawings out to look at the yesterday. It was dust free up in Art Husband's studio, so we went up there.
I've decided I think they will work well in a line or maybe in blocks of four, so you can pay attention to them. I have drawn more than I thought I was going to, probably about 37, so that's good. Need to make a few more.
So if your in Brighton over the next few weeks you should come and see Desination Blatz.
