Fresh from my temporary studio in Paris….. It has been an interesting challenge creating from my make shift studio in Paris .Ive had to work differently from my usual larger pieces. Pieces have become more intricate and detailed.I even created some more hand made books and collages using whatever I could find .I am enjoying re-cycling everything I can get my hands on….I just sent back to Australia 5, 7kg. boxes of junk ,collected from the streets and stuff that lovely people have given to me to re-use in my art.

MEET THE TENANT PROJECT
Over the past 3 months I have been living and making art in Paris. I came here to finish off an arts project I started 2 years ago.
Meet the Tenant project began in in the Summer of 2007,when I ventured down into the underground area of an apartment block in Asnieres sur seine. I sensed the presence of past lives lurking within the walls and this became the starting point for my project.
Within days I had massed hundreds of images, video, photos and drawings. I took them back to my studio in Australia and have been working on the project ever since. I edited the videos into an 18 minute piece and printed out some of the photos. Developed a storyline which keeps changing, and created a proposal ,to be performed . (See 1st draft below)
Today back in Paris 2010 I’m still no closer to resolving this project its forever ongoing and not sure where it will end up and its driving me mad. Why am I an artist???.
Proposal No.1 $10,000 – Jenny Davis 2010
“Go to Paris, from Australia & live in an underground space for 7 days and document everything that happens.Video, photographs,drawings, whatever, all things created become yours, you own the experience, everything including my clothes, shoes, food containers ,implements etc…I will deliver them to you. The art piece is… The whole thing…. you can do with it what you want”
(Due to sub zero temps. this project was canceled and may be performed at a later date)
COPYRIGHTS & ARTISTS RIGHTS
Wednesday, April 29th, 2009Tonight I read a very interesting down to earth article, about Copyright, on the Internet for Artists, Designers Crafters etc….
Ive read many legal documents, plus all my work is registered with the Copyright Councils but it still seems to be a free for all at times on the Internet
As a professional artist who works hard in the studio to create something special for others, I don’t like to think that someone can come along and steal my images ideas writing photography etc… and whack them on t shirts coffee mugs or print them out and then claim the art work as their own.
Its definitely stealing and it’s not on…….. I’m also very aware as soon as I put something up on the Internet I’m taking risks but as with all business’s Artists need to promote and market their work to a global market After all this is how we make a living
Here is the article from “Impatient Blogger” where Margo Potter says it so beautifully.
Thanks Margo!
