Co-directing FRAME_birmingham revealed to me many problems that I never usually face when working digitally. On screens, that are sometimes no bigger than our palm, we’re able to wander through a seemingly infinite space and control and change everything we see at our leisure with only the click of a mouse or tap of a screen.

With the FRAME_birmingham rehange I didn’t have such control. There were no “handles” with which to resize pieces, nor could the size of the room be changed in a menu item.

FRAME_birmingham, the three-month long exhibition of artwork by national and international artists at venues across Birmingham, is now in its second month. Fade to Daft has been taken down from the Penfold Grange Suite of Hotel du Vin, but it can still be purchased online for £180. The next piece in that series, Plenty, can be seen in Birmingham Central Library, near the entrance to the lending library. The image is an image remix of the song Plenty by Rob Crow/Thingy.

With the launch of FRAME_birmingham I’m happy to announce that three of my pieces from Some of My Favourite songs will be exhibited and for sale between 17th Nov 2012 - 17th Feb 2013 at venues around Birmingham.

Fade to Daft, which is a image remix of the song of the same name by Look What I Did, is the first of these pieces to be exhibited. It is currently located at the Penfold Grange Suite at Hotel du Vin.

From 6pm on Friday 16th November selected pieces of my work will be exhibited at a soon-to-be-announced venue in Birmingham as part of FRAME_birmingham.

FRAME_birmingham is an Arts Council funded, mac birmingham supported project by Elly Clarke/Clarke Gallery that sees unique and very small edition artworks by 42 local & international artists installed into a variety of businesses across the city as a means of bringing art to new audiences, new audiences to art and new contexts in which art can be shown. It is also about provoking and stimulating conversations about and around the artworks, by a variety of people in a variety of different places.
