Mierle Ukeles: Letter to a young artist

In the summer of 2005, artonpaper magazine published a special issue titled "Letters to a Young Artist," inspired by Rainer Maria Rilke's "Letters to a Young Poet." It included a collection of twelve letters by established artists written in response to a letter from a fictional "young artist" - a recent art school graduate who is struggling with the moral and practical implications of being an artist in New York City.

A journey into the American West

This autumn I am taking part in a field research program run by the University of New Mexico. The program includes undergraduate and post graduate fine art students. We spend over 50 nights in the field traveling over 8000 miles through New Mexico, Utah,Arizona and to the borders of Nevada and Texas. En route we will visit monumental earth works. We will use the desert landscape as a studio to live, work and learn.

A Time And A Place

Now in its second year, Place Projects is fast becoming an integral part of the Collective Gallery’s ever-expanding New Work Scotland Programme. The artist-led initiative aims to support emerging artists by developing a community in which constant dialogue leads to the creation of art. Places are coveted by recent graduates, eager to be nurtured by one of Scotland’s leading galleries and keen to collaborate with some of the country’s most talented up-and-coming artists.

In keeping with this spirit of the free exchange of ideas, The Journal spoke to Edinburgh College of Art (ECA) graduate Rachel MacLean and Glasgow School of Art alumnus Simon Gowing (SEA). Maclean and Gowing’s collaboration, The Principal Inhabitants of the Moon, is the first of two Place Projects to be shown at the Collective Gallery.

"By drawing attention to a failure, can it be made into just an everyday event, rather than something negative?"
