| The
first weekend came and went with a flurry of activity
here at Liquid 6. Well, to be more accurate, not here
at all but in the various Open Houses that the people
who work here are exhibiting in.
They were all off hanging and installing, leaving only
a skeleton crew to man the site - and what a week to
have a skeleton crew!
The Outsider has made his first visit to the Festival,
Christina Ure, our Open House Virgin, has survived her
first weekend - no thanks to Nigella Lawson - and we
launched the new Gallery section on the site. This shows
current work in Open Houses that don't fit into our
Artist or House Profiles. There was much to do with
less people - we're very tired!
So, a visit to the Happy House would seem in order.
This new Open House is an Independent and well worth
a visit - it's one of those houses where the artists
are as interesting as the art and thus the best kind
to experience. Say hello to Sam the dog while you're
there, too.
James Lightfoot is our featured artist this week, exhibiting
from Galerie 5 in Victoria Road, Brighton. James made
the move to being a full time artist a little under
three years ago and talks about what it's like to 'battle
with an unresolved canvas'.
From this week, the site will also
update more than once a week as we bring you more features,
more profiles and more of everything Open House.
The Forums are pretty quiet - there's no need to be
shy! If you're a visitor to the Open Houses log on and
tell the owners what you enjoy, what you dislike and
things you'd like to see. They're your Forums and the
artists would appreciate your input.
We hope you enjoy the site, now running at full capacity
and keep checking back for updated content over the
coming weeks. We can see that the maps are a big hit
as the download figures for them continue to rise. Remember,
they are
to - scale Ordnance Survey maps, the most accurate you
can get - and they're free!
Until next week - happy house hunting!
