About the Book
This ‘Me’ of Mine is much more than an art exhibition; it is an example of ‘distributed practice’; creative networking which goes beyond the limits of the artist’s studio. Recipient of Arts Council England funding and private sponsorship from HomeinOne.com, This ‘Me’ of Mine has brought a thought provoking art experience to four venues in the South East of England: APT Gallery, Deptford London; Strange Cargo|Georges House Gallery, Folkestone; Kaleidoscope Gallery, Sevenoaks and The Art School Gallery in Colchester/Ipswich Museum, Ipswich. Curated via Twitter and online communications, developed publicly from conception through to completion via blogsite www.thismeofmine.wordpress.com, This ‘Me’ of Mine is a profound exploration of the selves we know in relation to the context of contemporary society and the digital age.
Now This ‘Me’ of Mine is presented in book form – an exhibition on the page, of the page; an exhibition for the interior self and all of the unique private mental images which will happen as you read these curated pages.
About the Author
Independent artist, curator and writer, Jane Boyer, has merged all three of her creative disciplines in this one project creating a structure of social media networking and communications for This ‘Me’ of Mine. It is also the subject of her exploration. Jane lives in France but travels often to the UK for her work. The reality of living at a ‘distance’ and the ‘immediacy’ of digital communications in Jane’s own working practices have proven to be a rich source of inspiration in developing This ‘Me’ of Mine. Jane was awarded Arts Council England funding and private sponsorship by HomeinOne.com for this project.
