I use my blog to store documentation of my work, information about exhibitions I’m involved in, my writing on art and non-art subjects and quotes or images I find relevant to what I’m doing. Posts are separated into categories Work, Exhibition, Quote and Other, and this printout is organised into these sections. Blogs present the most recent information first, so please be aware that posts are in reverse date order.
I find the blog useful, it allows me to always have access to the information I store here (if I’m near a computer) and gives me a place I can direct people to to showcase the various things I do and some very important context for my work. It is also useful for other people to have access to the things I post such as exhibition information and installation shots.
I try also to engage with the materiality of the blog and the political implications of blogging, with my writings and my interactions with the infamous ‘blogosphere‘.
Obviously, the online blog is far richer than this printout, with access to important external links, larger images (in colour), videos and comments, as well as a much prettier interface. If you have time please do visit http://johnsartblog.wordpress.com.
