Thomas John Bacon and the NRLA Ron Athey Winter School






In recent years, the NRLA in Glasgow holds a series of Winter Schools. These are some of the best quality courses for artists seeking a period of professional development and research. In 2010 once again excellent teachers are being brought in to run the courses, all of whom are respected artists in their individual fields of practice and they include: Peter Boneham, Ron Athey, Jürgen Fritz and Jamie McMurry, Michael Mayhew.

I was fortunate enough to have my application to work with Ron Athey accepted and will be travelling up in March to take part in this project. I plan to take a piece I am developing, currently with the working title of 'Static,' to this in order to test, clarify, and work through some of the questions I need to answer as part of its growth.

At present I am interested in looking at the significance of movement within in this and my growing body of work.

If time or access allow I will post here while away.
