We were struggling to seek another artist to join the LAN committee, and now it seems that Fiona Hodges can no longer be an active part of the committee due to ill health.
Her input and support has been invaluable over the past few weeks, and now we're seeking two artists to support the LAN. In the mean time, after a discussion with the arts council, I will be making an application to the Arts Council for funding for the Outer Trial Bank project, and running the project by myself for the LAN.

Revival anniversary events
Unfortunately, Fiona Hodges is no longer able to take an active part in the LAN committee planning, due to ill health, so for now, the LAN can't work without fellow artists on the committee. Therefore, this is a call for local Lincoln artists to take part in organising LAN events and become part of the LAN committee!
The Outer Trial Bank ACE grant proposal was sent as an individual application, but wasn't successful with funding. This wasn't going to be a problem, as it's a shame not to make use of the space, however, since then, I too have suffered some personal matters that mean that the project may be far less ambitious than first hoped.
Helen and Sue have been taking part in regular social cycle rides, and these are hoped to become a part of LAN art projects.
We hope to finally work regularly in Norman St. on Fridays for various projects.
The LAN has started to receive more interest again - plans for the Christmas Market are coming together - if you're an artist wishing to have a stall, please get in touch!
The first event we will be working on will be for the Revival anniversary, which is on Friday 20th September, and we hope to be in Norman St. to make cardboard bird wings for the Outer Trial Bank project, and we also have a bike that will be pimped up as a sculptural project to be displayed as part of the Outer Trial Bank, but also for LAN / Apparatjik bike rides along the Viking Way!
There will be an LAN bike ride, starting at Norman St. / Revival cafe, via the Water Railway route, along part of the Viking Way to Five Mile Bridge, returning via Washingborough to South Park, and back up the Viking Way via Sincil Bank to finish at Norman St. / Revival. Times and day tbc, as Sunday would be the best day, but Revival are having a geocaching event from 10.00a.m. to 4.00p.m.
You can bring your own bike to ride, or hire one from the train station opposite.
Bring cardboard to make bird wings to create a flock of cyclists, and if you have shiny stuff / disco lights to pimp the LAN Apparatjik bike, please bring along!
More details tbc!

LAN : LAB
All seems a bit quiet here, but we've been busy networking and visiting the UoL degree shows at the beginning of June, along with planning and organising. We had initially intended to have an LAN event mid-June, but that will now be mid July, as Fiona and I have been busy meeting with the council to discuss potential community projects for which there may be funding available for us to do in Bracebridge.
Last Friday was a site visit around the old gasworks, and the area to look at sites for these.
We've also been putting together an Arts Council grant application, and there's a meeting to discuss this at the beginning of July.
We're pleased to have received the first submission for the Outer Trial Bank project, having contacted as many graduates of the UoL degree shows as possible.
In other news, we received an inquiry about the Christmas Market for this year. If there's enough interest, it will definitely be worth doing that again - it was a lot of fun last year, and we hope it'll be better this year!
We're still looking for an additional committee member to support funding applications - if you're an artist based in Lincoln (with no affiliation to any other arts groups) and can support the LAN, we'd love to hear from you! Email contact.lincolnartistnetwork@gmail.com with the subject line LAN Committee if interested.
A meeting is planned to discuss the Outer Trial Bank project for all artists involved and those wishing to support the LAN on Thursday 11th July, at Norman St. 4.00p.m. - 7.00p.m. Please RSVP to contact.lincolnartistnetwork@gmail or comment if you can make it, so we have an idea of numbers.

The Lincoln Simulacrum
 |
| Guy A and Helen A |
On Thursday 2nd May, I went to Magne Furuholmen's "Norwegian Wood" exhibition, for the interest of my own art practice, but also with the intention of asking Apparatjik if they had time in their schedule to come to Lincoln.
I had the pleasure of chatting to Magne A himself, and Guy A, lamenting that I wasn't going to Copenhagen for Apparatjik's gig. The conversation gave many ideas for the Apparatjik project. Guy said he wasn't going either. Due to commitments with Coldplay, Guy doesn't usually perform with Apparatjik. It's usually a friend of Jonas' from Blue Foundation that looks a lot like Guy. A fake Guy! Then Magne told us that he was going, but then added that no one would really notice if it was just some bloke in a mask.

At this stage, we don't need Apparatjik to come to Lincoln to perform in the LAN Light Space Modulator, we just need an Apparatjik simulacra.
This will be referred to as "The Lincoln Simulacrum".
No one in Lincoln knows what Apparatjik is, so they won't notice if it's just four blokes in a mask.

The EyeOn Committee have announced that other bands (and presumably artists) can create similar Light Space Modulator devices in other locations.
The proposal is to create and construct an LAN LSM in which to exhibit works by local artists invited to contribute to an experimental LAN project.

new website!
It's all been quite quiet around here since the end of last year!
The long, cold winter has meant a break from activity whilst applying and receiving some funding to cover overheads.
Following an article by Andrew Bracey about the arts in Lincoln, the LAN website has finally been updated, and is all new and shiny :-)
