Last night, I had a minor panic-attack-existential-crisis, and spent an hour coming up with The Plan. The plan is a way to make my life meaningful, and consists of a three-pronged attack: Volunteer at the Humane Society, go back to school, and start up an AR (animal rights) website, getting the word out and being informative, graphic, in-your-face truthful, and awesome.
As of now, I'm awaiting word from the Humane Society about whether I can come to the next dog walking class, getting info in the mail about an online college I'm going to enroll in, (Medical assistant- one of the fastest growing occupations this decade!) and I plan to delete my old blogger account and start a new one. Yay progress! Yay school! Yay puppies! Yay opening minds!
Yay!

Epitaph On A Pessimist
I'm Smith of Stoke aged sixty odd
I've lived without a dame all my life
And wish to God
My dad had done the same.
A 36-year-old man, Patrik Eriksson, is in the midst of an existential crisis when his two coworkers Erik Hemmendorff and Ruben Östlund (The Guitar Mongoloid and Involuntary) decides to document his life using their cell phones. The film project leads to intimate situations and long conversations on relationships, sex and friendship. Patrik sees the material and decides to make a movie of his own depressions and struggle to find love and happiness.
This is an extremely honest, raw and charming documentary, shot entirely by cell phone cameras. The story is easily recognizable: a man that is struggling with his love life and friends who are trying to help. It is also funny to watch three guys in their 30s completely involved in creating the perfect text-message to a girl.
Patrik Eriksson will be a guest at the festival.
Patrik Eriksson, born 1970 in Örebro, Sweden. Studied film directing at the School of Film Directing in Göteborg.
Martin Lovell, friend and fellow photographer shot during our recent visit to the Photographers Gallery in London.
In the period following World War I, a curious attraction appeared at fairgrounds: the photographic shooting gallery. If the punter’s bullet hit the centre of the target, this triggered a camera. Instead of winning a balloon or toy, the participant would win a snapshot of him or herself in the act of shooting.
Yes Martin did hit the target.

"There is no specific force, there is instead existential energy, which is an incarnation of the spirit concept. Basically the essence of life, the thing that motivates development, makes things grow and causes things to change...The ability of an individual to pursue their purpose with an amplified understanding and sensitivity. Existential Energy."

Of course, such distinctions might be traced out much further but I limit myself to the distinctions which are needed in present study.

East Midlands based artist Lyra Morgan graduated with a Master’s Degree in Advanced Theories and Practice from the University of Derby in 2011, having previously received a First Class Honours Degree from the Birmingham Institute of Art and Design.
With high standards of production, Lyra creates her ‘scapes’ by taking inspiration from seeing the extra-ordinary in the seemingly every day or ordinary, the natural world and being free enough in spirit to allow each work to build through a cycle of evolution. She creates abstract but instinctively balanced compositions, sensitive to the gradations of tone using unique techniques she has developed through the open and experimental approach to her practice.
Colour has always played a big part in Lyra’s life and art career, loving the way it can transform how we experience and live in any space.
“When I first started painting, I had reasonably clear ideas about what I wanted to paint. Now that I paint on a daily basis, the paintings seem to take on a life of their own and I realise now more than ever that a big part of my arts practice is about being ‘present’ in the moment and embracing process itself.”
Pieces available at the Ark:
28. Existential 1, Acrylic on canvas, 100 x 140cms
35-37. Intuition (Triptych), Acrylic on canvas, (3 canvases of 76 x 106cms )

The more I learn about myself, the more I fear myself. I’m told I should remain neutral. A Switzerland of the mind.

Progetto Arcevia 2.0/12
In 1972, Italo Bartoletti initiated Progetto Arcevia, a vision of an existential community which simultaneously enriched the local community of Palazzo d’Arcevia (Italy) while at the same time providing a site for creatives – artists, philosophers, architects – to come together and collaborate.
40 years later, Bartoletti’s vision has been embraced by a group of young London-based designers, Unit +. In September 2012, five members of Unit + journeyed to Riserva Privata San Settimio, the very site that Bartoletti first cultivated for Progetto Arcevia, and which is still owned by his family today. Using experiential and live mapping techniques across a range of different media (conceptual documentaries, sketches, models and a fairy tale inspired comic book), Unit + explored, documented and analysed their impressions of the site.
Through their dynamic engagement with all aspects of the Riserva, they experimented with colour-coded navigation systems, a proposal for a ‘floating’ meditation room and a towering sundial. Through the support and enthusiasm of Bartoletti’s family and the Riserva, Unit + will return in Spring 2013 to initiate these projects.
Crucial to Progetto Arcevia 2.0/12 is the fact that the fundamental ideals remain the same; Unit + are committed to operating as “a thought factory and creativity lab”, a team that values collaboration and cooperation. Their work at the Riserva in 2013 represents not only a continuation of one man’s vision, but the revitalisation of concepts that are intrinsic to collaborative design.
