Formed in 1995 "Cv/Visual Arts Research" is a documentary resource
of developments in contemporary art. The survey began in April
1988, and was first published as the quarterly review "Cv Journal
of Art and Crafts" (later "Cv Journal of the Arts"). "Cv" was
produced until 1992 and the collection of interviews, features and
reviews provided the foundation of the "Cv/VAR" archive and
subsequent publications. Following "Cv Journal" the data-base
shifted towards electronic publishing, allowing a greater
flexibility of communication. "Cv/VAR" addresses the fields of
academic research, galleries and museums worldwide, and a growing
non-specialist readership. In this respect the archive has been
re-organised as a file system which may be accessed as individual
articles or collated volumes, according to specific requirements.
The programme is categorized as Interviews with the Artists (files
1-8); Curators and Collections (files 9/10); Crafts Directory
(files 11/12); Small Histories (files 13/14); Guide to the Arts
(files 15/16); Art, Criticism & Display (files 17/18) and an
open area for current developments (files 19/20). This describes
how students in the Art Study Plan at Richmond Adult &
Community College 1988 worked on a 8'x12' painting - "Whirlwind"
that represented the carnal sins of society. This was recorded in
situ in three sessions as the work was in progress.
Explores pathways in catering, hospitality and tourism, covering
professions from restaurant chef to food distribution, working in

This essay explores the development of Salvador Dali, from the
early phases of childhood, the bizarre and complex aims of his
first experiments, to his absorption into high society of Paris in
the 1930s, and his inclusion in the Surrealist movement from 1928
to 1939. The essay focuses on the makeup of a provocative and
original personality acutely reflexive, intelligent and
pathologically driven. As a creative signifier of considerable and
generative impact, Dali can be identified as a unique sounding
board for his own and succeeding times.
CD-ROM contains pdf readers of monographs in Cv/VAR archive. Over

links between the makers, in the expression of their concerns, in
the work and with the world beyond, that forms a unique and
coherent overview of the developing art of our time.

"The Landscape Series" of 2002 to 2006 was made in quantities of
thirty to one hundred 1' square panels, each of the thirty sets
generally taking three weeks to complete. The panels were worked on
flat, painting eighteen at a time in fifteen minute bursts. They
were laid out on an old framed 6' x 3' piece which also served as a
container for the pools of colour washed over the textured surface.
Two inch square wooden cubes were used to stack the paintings in
small towers to dry out. Various factors steered the series
development: there was reference to an initial colour plan,
thoughts about the load-bearing pressures on a place, tracks and
crossing points, airflow, water, spaces and intervals, the nature
of settlement in the land. For a city: light and shadows on
buildings, streets, side alleys and hidden courtyards, people,
stores, traffic, noise, incidents and interruptions. Titles were
assigned later to photographs of the line of production. The
identity of a place was achieved not by literal description but as
an equivalent found by coincidence in the passage of an abstract
process.

A special harback editon limited to one hundred copies,
Interviews-Artists brings together artists active in the fields of
painting, drawing, photography, print and sculpture. Recorded
conversations explore work in progress and the development of their
practice. Patterns of personal experience link with a broader
continuum of progressive ideas and show how their imaginative
interventions bear on the world. The collection of interviews with
artists developed in three phases; first researched from 1988-92
and published in the quarterly review, Cv Journal of Art &
Crafts. Then gathered in an anthology, Interviews with the Artists:
Elements of Discourse, (editions in 1993/1996/2001/2007). The
second phase was researched from January to July 2010; the third
from October 2010 to July 2011. Sixty eight interviews from the
collection are published this volume.
Sets of penel paintings of landscape in Cornwall, Oxfordshire,
Lincolnshire, Dartmoor and abroad in California, Spain and Greece.
Includes large recent diptychs by the artist.The Landscape Series
was developed in two phases: sixteen sets were made from February
2002 to June '03 and a further fourteen in February 2006 totalling
some 1,500 panel paintings. The uniform size of a30cm square panel
grew from the idea of one painting being all painting, or one
landscape becoming all landscapes. With gesso and emulsion, mounds
and hollows were formed by sweeping and dividing poured paint,
using cardboard strips cut from cartons. The panels were laid on a
framed base board which also served as a container for pools of
colour washed over the textured surface. Two inch square wooden
cubes were used to stack the paintings in small towers to dry out.
Various factors steered the series: thoughts about load-bearing
pressures on a place, tracks and crossing points, air flow, water,
spaces and intervals, the nature of settlement in the land. Offset
corner marks in the panels from the cubes stood for a house, rounds
for a moon. Titles were assigned later to the line of production.

paintings by N.P.James ROI, which construct a detailed metaphor for

First published in 2001, the volume carries colour images with
descriptions of the location and function of portrayed parts.

of extensive spot paintings, where the artist engaged in a complex
invigilation of the coded systems that govern daily existence. The
exhibition at Tate Modern features 'For The Love of God', the
celebrated diamond studded skull, to be centred in the vast Turbine
Hall of the converted power station at Bankside.
