For a while there I had an artist listing on artnet, the “art world online” and a tracker of market trends in the arts. However, I’ve faded into obscurity, seemingly because artnet only store something like 50k artists in their database, and I guess I’m just not big enough to run with the pack!

More important than my mention in the article, it is really just a fine piece of writing by Ben Davis and I think really does justice to the Flux Factory living-collaborative environment, and understands the space quite well (while the following quote might be seen as a smack on the face, I think it more a really really fair assessment):

But read the article for yourself. Like I say it’s lovely, well-written, good images, and I’m thankful.

(this makes me think I need a ‘press’ type of section. Actually I need to re-think the whole frickin’ scheme around here! Bleh - blooooooooogs!)

(this is an ongoing post, and will be updated continually over the next week until the opening. here I want to show the process. I plan on publishing a text later, maybe in time for the opening. but for here, images…)
