So, sometimes you need to move forward but you don't. Do you know what i mean?
For me it was: i needed to do somehing for my own business as i have a business since i used to rent space for making art.
It is not possible to rent a space for that if you don't have a business. Well, not legaly anyway.
So i gave up my space some time ago. Because i had to move to many times in a short periode as spaces for art are most of the time spaces they can't sell very well for anything else. But as soon as another opportunity develops, most of the space owners ask you to give up the space.
It never is a problem with me: i don't like to stay at places where i am not wanted.
But when i moved out of the space i rented some time ago i had expected to move into a different way of handeling making art in my life. I ofcourse have another space where i can do that. But actually i dont. I make little art. At least not there. So why am i standing still? I really wouldn't know.
I think i have been so busy the last few years and months with creating a tangible space for art in my life that subconsciously i forgot that art can be made just about everywhere: you just have to make time for it and put it into a format which fits into the space you're in at the moment. For example: if you are in a train, you can even use a notepad. Make a photo of the result and let that than be the artpiece.
I myself am starting to realize that i don't need to make a room for art rather as to make a space for it to be part of my daily live. So when i am not in that space i still feel free to work on that. Like when i am in a car and moving forward: I don't álways need to go anywhere - sometimes i just enjoy driving.
As should it be with Art. So even in a little space - or a moving space, as a train - i should be able to make art.
Don't stand still, if you are in the same place as where i am.
Do not focus om making (a) Room: make some Space. In your daily life. It is always possible to make Art at different places and different moments!
