updates and ideas

I've had a few ideas for work recently so I thought I'd post them on here. Basically, this is what Im up to at the minute:

I'm working with a local poet/writer called Emma Purshouse. We plan to produce some work to submit to the open exhibition at the riverside gallery in London, the theme being 'Age and Memory'. I dont normally do things like this - I hate themed open submission things - but this seemed like a good common ground for us to produce something, and the deadlines the end of November, so that gives us a good timeframe to get out and produce something. I'd either like to produce a film or photography/text/sound stuff, somewhere between Patrick Keiler's film 'London', psychogeography and 'Nadja' by Andre Breton.

I've also had an idea for a sort of site specific work, based on the idea of desire lines. The idea is to use lines painted on the floor to mark out routes across Wolverhampton. I've contacted the council and have been referred to Wolverhampton art gallery, so the next step is to email them and see if this is possible. What I'd like is to get a dialogue going between people to work out what the project could be.

Theres more but those are the two things at the forefront of my mind at this juncture.
