Inspiration: Art inflected art

Along with my usual rants about my muddled existence, this blog is also about my creative inspiration. I spend hours online looking at art and design, music video, film and galleries - always sourcing inspiration. I thought it best to capture some of what I find inspiring and share it.

I also find it quite interesting looking at trains of thought - how we might start off with one quest in mind, but follow tangents and rambling paths that lead us to discover other stuff.

This morning I was looking into the work of Hussein Chalayan, which pretty much lead me straight to the Tate Modern - my favourite comtemporary gallery. This gallery has an excellent way of displaying comtemporary art comprehensibly.

Check out Tate Tracks - a great initiative whereby the Tate invites musicians to write tracks inspired by contemporary art. The first track - Chemical Brothers vs Jacob Epstein- can be heard online now, and is inspired by Epstein's Torso in Metal from the 'Rock Drill'.

Very cool.
