As a way to wrap up my time with this show a personal Facebook post from just a few days ago<span alt="2nd of December 2016" style="color: white; font-size: 8px; vertical-align: super;" title="2nd of December 2016">(i)</span> which seems relevant to share here: <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
There's snippets of a paragraph from <a href="http://obscure-views.blogspot.co.uk/2016/06/books-haunting-new-kind-of-bleak-orbital.html" target="_blank">Matthew Beaumont's "Night Walking"</a> that is haunting me that I just can't get out of my
head. It's a comment on <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Order_of_Things" target="_blank">"Michel Foucault's 'The Order Of Things'</a>
talking about obscure city spaces:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
" . . . The 'obscure space'
embedded in what the enlightenment identifies as 'man's nature' is both
exterior to him and indispensable to him . . . The obscure spaces of the
metropolitan city, which are at once alien to the bourgeois city's
self-image<span class="text_exposed_show"> and essential to its project of self-aggrandisement, are also shadows and blind stains."</span><br />
<span class="text_exposed_show">(<i>Matthew Beaumont, </i></span><i><span class="text_exposed_show">"Night Walking", 2015, </span></i><span class="text_exposed_show"><i>pg 113-114</i>)</span></blockquote>

<div class="text_exposed_show">
I'm taking this as suggesting that the hidden alcoves, the shadow
filled alleys are unavoidable. They are the flip side of the pristine
modern city, but the pristine modern city does all it can to disavow
that these places and spaces are needed.<br />
<br />
These spaces, I'm at
times exploring, are the spaces that those that help maintain the bright
sparkly clean future city walk through. I'm thinking of the cleaners,
the shop staff, the security staff, the waste disposal people, the
delivery people all of whom use the spaces that we tend to want to pass
by and ignore. <br />
<br />
These half lit spaces are often seen as edgy and
dangerous but these are the spaces that the workers of the city use.
Those folk that are the backbone, who exist both in front of and behind
the scenes to keep the spectacle of the modern city running. These
spaces hold the side/back door entrances, trade entrances, delivery
bays, places that obscure the to-ings and fro-ings of those that
maintain the facade of the bright clean city. These spaces are needed
and unavoidably exist in opposition to the supposed 'perfection' that
they help support.<br />
<br />
That's all... <br />

<br />
I've been interviewed!<br />
<br />
I recently met up with Mick Biggs of Social Sheffield (a very informative website detailing all kinds of contemporary what's on goodness ) where we had a chat and he interviewed me about some of the goings on behind the creation of my work. To see the resulting interview do have a look via the following link.<br />

It is space that is notoriously alive with a web of dichotomies, which city dwellers must negotiate on a daily basis. One such dichotomy is that of public and private space; a quintessential notion of the modern city. With a vast amount of places “off limits” to varying strata of society and carefully mapped out public areas for transiting or leisure, we each act out a set of unwritten social rules and modes of behaviour.<br /> <br /> What private:PUBLIC attempts to explore however, is those areas on the boundary between private and public. Those grey areas of the city whos<span class="text_exposed_show">e purpose is not so clearly defined; those spaces in which urban explorers and psychogeographers are compelled to explore (abandoned buildings, back alleys, industrial estates etc), or where the homeless find temporary respite (a doorway for sleeping, for example). By highlighting these ideologies, the exhibition will make the viewer question their own behaviour through their ever-changing shared and personal environments. <br /> <br /> Luke Beech displays works that highlight the fine line between the interior and the exterior. Clare Holdstock, also working in concrete, uses early modernist aesthetic to create sculptures that question how the architecture from this time distorts twenty-first century urban space. Alan Baker’s ‘Home’ is a makeshift shelter constructed using found objects. Re-thinking ‘vermin culture’, the work explores society’s views of the homeless, confronting underlying issues. Andy Cropper's realist paintings depict "uncertain spaces" and considers the way public space is being bought, given, or transferred to private concerns which subverts what is understood about public space. Deborah Gardener’s photographic work depicts the home as a location for dwelling and a social space that marks the private and reflects the public.</span></span><br /><br /><br /><b>Curate Sheffield </b>are Liz Dickinson and Becky Gee<br />Website - <a href="https://curatesheffield.com/">https://curatesheffield.com/</a><br />Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/curatesheffield/">https://www.facebook.com/curatesheffield/</a><br />Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/curatesheffield">https://twitter.com/curatesheffield</a><br /><br />Participating artists<br />Clare Holdstock - <a href="http://clareholdstock.co.uk/">http://clareholdstock.co.uk/</a><br />Alan Baker - <a href="http://alanbaker.tumblr.com/">http://alanbaker.tumblr.com/</a><br />Deborah Gardner - <a href="http://www.axisweb.org/p/deborahgardner/">http://www.axisweb.org/p/deborahgardner/</a><br />Luke Beech. - <a href="http://lqbeech.wix.com/artist">http://lqbeech.wix.com/artist</a><br />and me :)<br /><br />35 Chapel Walk gallery, Sheffield<br />Website - <a href="http://www.35chapelwalk.com/">http://www.35chapelwalk.com/</a><br />Facebook - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/35chapelwalk/">https://www.facebook.com/35chapelwalk/</a><br />Twitter - <a href="https://twitter.com/35chapelwalk">https://twitter.com/35chapelwalk</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2631638646613354400.post-80882353369857530262016-04-07T14:35:00.000-07:002016-11-27T11:16:56.065-08:00David Milsom This is a bit of an 'outside my area' blog post as I want to share with everyone the work of violinist David Milsom.

There are photos of the show that I took today, however, so to give an overview of the works on display. There will be details of the individual works placed on the <b><a href="http://uncertainspaces.blogspot.co.uk/p/paintings.html" target="_blank">Paintings</a></b> page over the next few days.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The front APG Works gallery space</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

During still periods I would gaze over the local Star newspaper. In one issue there was a pamphlet advertised 'Inner City Round Walk of Sheffield: A 6 part exploration of urban Sheffield by Terence Howard'. I sent off for it and still 20 years later I am following its routes. <br /><br />I want to call it a ''Not' The Sheffield Round Walk' (a well known city walk which takes in Sheffield's green spaces). It's a great walk of urban and suburban Sheffield which takes you around the city to look at and compare architecture with environment and hopefully provides an understanding of Sheffield history and past economies. I've completed it several times with my partner and seeing the shift in cityscape over the past 2 decades has been fascinating and at times disturbing as the industrial 20th century city changes as it tries to deal with the needs and impositions of the 21st century.</div><br />‘Inner City Round Walk of Sheffield’ (1996).<br />A 6 part exploration of urban Sheffield by Terence Howard. <br />ISBN: 0952293412<br />Illustrations by Dan Sumption and Gill Howard.<br /><br />(Click on the images to see them in better detail.)<br /><br />1 - Front Cover <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
