Recently the LAN applied for St. Hugh's Arts Award funding for our
proposal for Frequency 2013, but weren't successful. We're not put off by this,
as we hope to have assistance from another source to secure the funding we
need.
In any case, there is a free trip to Norway in the pipeline, in which I hope to go and speak to an Apparatjik himself, Mr. Magne Furuholmen, to discuss ideas. Not sure yet when this will be.

We haven't posted lately, as I've been doing a lot of work for my own
practice, having recently auctioned a copy of my my self published comic for
charity, and currently have some work exhibited in Moss, Norway for the 2nd Twitter Art Exhibition, which is in support of the Women's Crisis Centre there.
We're looking for a venue to host a Mail Art exhibition sometime after June, and are still waiting to hear about the Empty Shop space in Sincil Street organised by Revival. As soon as that gets underway we can initiate some exciting new projects. This space is offered at no cost to us, with a cafe and workshops being run by other groups as a skill share space.
In the mean time, I'd like to share some updates on other things I've been doing on behalf of the LAN (as well as my own practice).
In February, myself and Sally Lemsford were awarded a bursary to attend Open Air:Effecting Change at Firstsite in Colchester.
These AIR Activist events are important for sharing how galleries such as Firstsite are supporting emerging artists, for artists to get together with other bodies, such as ACE, councils, socio-political organisations, funding bodies and a variety of different organisations and groups, in order to initiate and develop discussions around finding ways to ensure that artists continue to work professionally in a climate of funding cuts, and to ensure that despite this, together we can initiate ways for artists to be paid. AIR Activists continue to re-iterate that artists should not accept voluntary positions.

In the mean time, we're in discussion with Whisby Natural World Centre for an exhibition there in May 2013. More details for this to follow shortly.
