I’ve been collecting discarded sandwich wrappers and working with the tinfoil to produce polyliths. This is about 12 cm high.

I’ve been working in the TRS Project Space over the last two weeks. Just me and 30 square meters of blank paper. I also had a smoke machine and some coloured light bulbs, but the most interesting configurations were lit just using sunlight. Fran and I have just watched all three original series of Star…

As part of Liverpool Art Month and Light Night The Royal Standard transformed into FAVELA,  in which members turned their studios into temporary exhibition spaces. I thought it would be a great opportunity to try working at a larger scale and made this pentagonal sculpture from tape, cardboard tubes and paper. Once it was built…

Recorded binaurally at The National Gallery. “The avant-garde, which has lost itself over time, also pursues the primitive and the archaic. It is in this sense that one can say that the entry point to the present necessarily takes the form of an archeology; an archeology that does not, however, regress to a historical past,…

Half Mile Island from Dave Evans on Vimeo. This film was shot in Skemersdale at what purports to be the largest roundabout in Europe.

Visits to Skelmersdale continue. The Concourse shopping center is beautiful. Half Mile Island filming is coming along for Robin and my show ‘Tomorrow’s World’ at Rogue Project Space in Feb.

There were a couple of great presentations and lots of great drawings produced. I spent 12 hours making one drawing, which was…

I’m in a show at Supercollider in Blackpool, a great space with a really interesting programme. The show revolves around the notion of love, and was initiated by discussions at The Royal Standard around the mutual respect that exists between artist led spaces such at TRS and Supercollider. There are lots of great images of…

I’ve been making some video work about the largest uninterrupted roundabout in the UK, called ‘Half Mile Island‘ near Skemersdale in Lancashire (itself famous for it’s large roundabouts and complete lack of traffic lights). It’s 880 yards around and has a 40 mph speed limit. The surroundings are supremely dull. During research on the roundabouts…

20 10 9 walker mix by Dave_Evans I enjoyed playing my field recordings at Binary Jam 017 this week. The crowd were very attentive and gave my recording a chance to be heard. The recordings themselves are quite quiet, so it was much appreciated. Here is the final mix.  Fifteen one minute clips were recorded,…
