Study leave

I was recently looking through job ads and applied to two gallery shops, both of which have yet to respond.. BUT I did also come across photographer Dominic Harris recruiting people for his project, Standing Very Still. So I enrolled! and spent one Sunday afternoon running back and forth the Oxford Circus crossing with a group of very random individuals. Here's two of my favourite shots out of about ten attempts from the day:


Trust me, I am in there somewhere. There's also a video showing us frantically run into position each time the tiny traffic light man turned green. So there.

This was naturally not enough to satisfy my art hunger (eh?) since finishing my course early, so last Friday evening, 23 April, I spent in the company of some thirty Lithuanian artists at our Baker Street-based embassy. Most of the content of the meeting is top secret of course, but I can say that I was most ecstatic to be there and more importantly - there's an exhibition coming up on 11-23 May at St Martin-in-the-Fields! More information here, scroll down to "Urban Clones". Unfortunately more detailed texts are all in Lithuanian, but the essential idea is to find emotional links between the cities of London and Vilnius, Lithuania's capital, through the means of photography. The curator of the exhibition is a third-year Lithuanian student at the Courtauld! So if you're in the area during the two weeks of its showing, do have a look.
