Tinderbox at Independents Day and an idea

Hi everybody! Here's a picture of Tinderbox at Independents Day. Elida's wonderful headphones creation to listen to the Heartstrings Collective drawings' songs were popular!

STALLS SLIDE SHOW

ACTS SLIDE SHOW

ART EXHIBITION SLIDESHOW: myself and Elida had entries in it. I wonder if it would be possible to have a Tinderbox entry for another year, may be with people submitting one work each around a certain topic? Or we could also try at another exhibition place somewhere else. I've been looking around the web and found this place, seems quite good:
Ormond Studios

I could check out how much it would be and if everybody taking part chips in a bit it should be quite affordable. If anybody else has any suggestions for an exhibition space, put in a comment here. My idea is for this exhibition to include any type of art: photography, illustration, film (if the space can accommodate screenings), anything, as long as it's all around whichever topic we choose! Post any ideas you might have about this on the blog please.

Another idea would be to do the exhibition based around Jane's wonderful Heartstrings Collective song drawings project, which already produced such great work for Independents Day (scroll down the posts please) and opening it to further submissions by photographers and other kinds of artists. What do you think about it Jane?

Till next time. May be I'll meet quite a few of you at the Photography Auction in aid of Alzheimers (see my previous post)!

Pepper Morrison, a report on Independents' Day

For those who could not make it to the Independents' Day fair, here is a fun report with pictures by the great Pepper Morrison.

Missing songs

Hello!

I am putting all the songs in an mp3 player, so people buying the Heartstrings album/publication can listen to the songs that triggered those fan tas tic drawings.

I have collected all the songs except:

- Half Light1 by Arcade Fire (drawn by Alan Nagle)

- Everybody is talking at me by Harry Nilsson (?) (drawn by Emma Rowe) (GOT IT NOW, thank you Emma)

- All you need is love was not true by Xinlisupreme (drawn by Ciaran L.) (GOT IT NOW, thanks Ciaran)

- Wake Me Up When September Comes (by Green Day) (drawn by Noirin)

Could any of you, tinderboxers email them to me? elida.maiques[at]gmail.com

Thanks a lot!

Tinderbox Heartstrings Collective - a 7'' cover

Hi all,

This is an appetizer: I found a bunch of 7'' gems like this in Spain.

For the Heartstrings Song Drawings project.

Jane found another bunch in England.

I thought you'd like to see one of the jackets for our drawings.

Also, two ideas for Independents' Day this Sunday:

1. A gang

It would be great if we are a gang at Independents' Day, that way we can take turns and go browse the rest of stalls. As I am helping with the screening of Independents' Day I will have to go off now and then.

Will you come and command? Please? :]]

2. Tablecloth, tablepaper

We can make it into a game, I was thinking of covering our table with a large piece of drawing paper and spending the day covering it in collage, drawings, fingerprints, etc.

The fair is 12 to 5pm.

Up for it? Drop a comment, please, say what you think. :]
