Not intended to be read until you have seen This is not a catalogue because there is no list of works. The exhibition will comprise three spaces in which three artists will have made their art. At the moment of writing we are not sure exactly what they will do—and we cannot know how what they do will appear to us. Therefore we cannot attempt to help you perceive it. So this is also not truly an introduction to the art. It is not intended to be read until you have seen the exhibition. Michael Compton, Phenomenal: An Introduction perceptionseeing
Touch the keys An Article by Rach Smith rachsmith.com In his course Being Productive: Simple Steps to Calm Focus, Kourosh Dini emphasises the importance of taking a moment to “be with” the work every day (or however frequently you need to tackle a project). “Being with” your work is to be fully present and intentional about that activity and doing nothing else.

Sometimes touching the keys would lead to a good practice session, even when he didn’t feel like it would before he actually gave it a go.

As usual, the resistance to getting started is far more uncomfortable than actually doing the thing. To pick up my pen productivityworkcreativitypractice
