I always start with a very precise shedule of the project I'm working with and I always believe that I'm able to keep the process organized and follow the plan. But I always lose it and end up in chaos with Dr Pepper, but the expectations of what the result will look like is what motivates me right now. It's all very physical. /F

Tal R at Magasin 3

Tal R has a big show at Magasin 3 in Stockholm at the moment. Naive, abstract, paintings, collages, sculptures and drawings. With an explosion of colour. It takes your breath away. There are several textile sculptural work in the exhibition, patchwork mostly, interesting work in this context. But as always, textile work is more okay and is more in focus in a painting context, and when a man is the artist.

The process

To work with textile art projects is to have to start with the material.Understand that it's not going to work out in the way you imagine. You start with an idea and then you immediately have to start working with the material, and then it doesn't work out and you have to change the idea, you try again, and the alterations slowly takes you closer to the final object. The process and the hand craft is very meditating and extermely stressing, depending on your mood of the day and how close the deadline is. You have to eat regular meals or else everything fucks up all the time.

Pim Conradi

This is not an art project. Pim Conradi is creating shelters for the future, when it will all be over... Tent structures with beautiful patchwork textile shields.
