Busy time
The last few weeks have been really busy...
Last Friday I took part in '3 degrees of Separation', an artists discussion event organised by North East artists Jo Coupe and Catherine Bertola and supported by Turning Point. The event gave the opportunity for 8 artists to discuss their practices in relation the the theme of 'time'. The selection for the event was really interesting, with each artist choosing another in a chain. The choices were made based on similarities in practice or relationship of work to the theme. There will be two further events based on themes of 'site and context' and 'materiality'. A further artist was invited to respond to the discussion and create a written text. The outcome will be a limited edition set of 3 books.
The website for 3 degrees of Separation can be found here. It will continue to grow as further events take place and the written texts are added.
On Monday I attended the Journal Culture Awards, where I had been shortlisted for the 'Visual Artist of the Year 2010'. The shortlisting was for the screening of 'Continuum' at Centre for Life's planetarium last June and was based on public vote and recommendation. Congratulations to Laura Lancaster who won the award!
I have also been working on several proposals to start researching a new project. I met with Emma Kirkpatrick from the Institute of Neuroscience at Newcastle University to discuss a possible collaboration as part of this research. More on this soon...

Travelling to America
I received a positive decision on an Arts Council bid to research venues and develop work from the Mutations project for touring. I am really excited about this opportunity, which will involve a visit to the USA to promote Continuum at ArtPrize in Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA.
Leaving today!

ArtPrize update & official event poster
I am currently preparing the planetarium work Continuum for shipping to the US for ArtPrize. The larger Planetarium screens - Grand Rapids Public Museum, where the work will show measures 50' across - demand that the work be created at 4000 x 4000 pixels. To transfer the flat video onto the Evans & Sutherland projection system used by the museum it must first be broken down, saving each of the works 23,220 individual frames as an individual image file (dome master). The work can then be uploaded onto the system where it is further de-constructed before being re-compiled for display across 6 projectors, which blend the work seamlessly for the hemispherical screen.

Continuum
Continuum from Paul Grimmer on Vimeo.
Continuum is an immersive fulldome video work with 5.1 surround soundscape created specifically for immersive planetarium environments. The work is a meditation on notions of beauty, perfection and difference focusing on a body, physically and digitally modified and transformed. As the body moves in and out of focus, suspended, it is glimpsed, not seen, taken apart, re-ordered and replicated into new, exotic forms. The work was developed during residencies with the Medical Research Council, Virology Unit (Glasgow 2008), Allenheads Contemporary Arts (Northumberland 2009) and Dance City (Newcastle upon Tyne 2009).
