The New Studio
Went on the hard hat tour on Monday the studio building is really interesting - made me think about how visible all the change is at the moment. The new Asda and all the building work feels like part of a master plan just struggling to work out what it is. The site manager told us good stories about piles of things been art I love the fact that Carl Andres bricks still resonate 30 years later boy that was from the days before art de-materialsed.

Yep the building sure is impressive and once filled with artists and businesses it really should bring a working centre to the heart of Parson Cross and meaning to the programme of art/artist activities we [Yorkshire Artspace] are currently working on in the area.
ReplyDeleteThe site itself is a little bit tucked away/hidden behind a row of shops but we're hoping to be accessible and visible to those people who want to know what we're about. Any artist interested in being at the vanguard of cultural dissemination and exchange or just a studio space contact Yorkshire Artspace.
Parson Cross has survived for decades without the patronism of people who believe they have sufficient knowledge to judge the area and its people. To fund the most disgusting piece of work, published under the guise of art, and allow some of the worst to be animated and placed on the internet. This piece of work brings into disrepute not only the animators, Flycheese Studios, but Yorkshire Artspace itself which should have been more responsible and discerning. Such is the mindset of those involved that they appear unable to see what effect it would have on the neighbourhood, the residents of which have no idea they are being libelled on the internet in the name of art! 0/10 for that disgraceful attempt at sensationalism!
DeleteCheck out the video 'Rotting Heads on Parson Cross' by Flycheese Studios and make your own judgement as to whether the public should be funding such projects!
