Jason Parr
Jason has created a film which is being shown at the Sainsbury Centre in Norwich on the 18th March at the Late Junction which is free to get in and starts 7pm till 9pm with various acts, artists, also poetry. Jason will be downstairs in the studio showing the 9 minute film which was edited from a 9 hour performance on the 9th September working on nine different things - writing, drawing, guitar, wood carving, painting, stone carving, conversation, piano and reading. Jason showed the film at our last meeting - it's good!
Anything new?
I have been leant some back issues of Studio which have made really interesting reading. An article by Alexander Watt in the March 1960 issue comments on interviews held with six foreign artists working in Paris. One, Christoforou, born in London in 1921 of Greek parents, decided to move to Paris in 1957 because "In England I had the good fortune to have had the support of a few private individuals, but otherwise ..... the official art world, controlled as it is by a few pompous chauvinists, has turned art into an instrument of national prestige in a crude and prejudiced sense." Another, Grimm, complained that "Art is no longer a matter of creating: it has become a mass production."

ARC MEETING, FEB 12, 2009
ARC MEETING, GT YARMOUTH, THURSDAY, FEB 12 (AT BRIDGET'S)
Those attending: Bridget, Mark S, Kate, John D, Jason, Darren, Lou, Rupert and Shirley
1.BOROUGH-WIDE COMMUNITY ARTS/ARTISTS WEBSITE
Bridget outlined the idea again and went through a email exchanges she's had with Harry Harold, a website builder, discussing the pros and cons of blogs and sites and costs.
Darren suggested the proposed site should be a 'forum' website rather than a blog – a site that could be both accessible to the visitor and user friendly to all those who post to it – both ARC members and members of GY organisations, together with other artists in the vicinity. Darren further suggested his work could be viewed at the following:-
www.thesunrisecoast.co.uk
www.thegreatunsigned.com
www.urbanshadow.net
There was much discussion about the purpose and nature of such a website. For registering a name and hosting it was felt vital that one person takes charge of this. It was unanimously decided that Bridget would take charge of this project.
Choosing a name for the site was the most difficult task. Should it have Great Yarmouth in the title, wholly focussed on its locality but, perhaps, limiting its appeal via the internet?
Here are ideas and possible words we came up with which might (or might not) be helpful in finding an appropriate title:-
HAVEN – HARBOUR – THREE RIVERS – THREE RIVERS DANCE – ARK – TIDE – SURGE – EAST COAST – ARTS- HUB – COMMUNITY – COMMUNE – CULTURE – CULTURE SHOCK – COLLECTIVE – CONFERENCE – YARE – YEAH...
As time was pressing it was decided to a) thoroughly look at Darren's sites and b) each chew over a name for our next meeting. ANY suggests for a name can be sent to me in the mean time rupertmallin@supanet.com
Note: publicity for the site, funding, costs, etc, will be fully discussed at the next meeting.
ARC 2009 PHOTO/FILM/ART EXHIBITION/EVENT
After considering all possible venues (see below) it was agreed that this exhibition could be run over a long weekend as “an exhibition as an event” as there will not only be photos on walls but film showings of artists' work too.
It was agreed that the event would have a wider artistic remit than ARC itself, though centred on the group itself.
With the library out of action, a suitable venue is a priority. We considered Christchurch, the Town Hall, a club (Zen), Ferry House, Gorleston Library, Ocean Rooms, the Toll House, Community Centres, Brett's Warehouse and The Arcade. With the closure of Woolworths and Curry's it was felt that we should contact agents for these properties. Kate suggested a long weekend in summer and this was agreed.
Action: Mark will establish contact with Woolies, and Rupert and Mark will meet to look at venues before the next meeting (in two weeks' time).
A big thankyou to Bridget for coffee, tea, biscuits and generous hospitality!
