Arts Junction is back this Monday, 13 April, with a smorgasbord of poetry, music, art & theatre at the Victoria Institute, Arundel from 7.30. This month there are two poets, Rebecca Zeman & Christopher Horton. Mike Carey will provide musical interludes and I will talk on the subject of AI in Art.

Today I discussed AI in art and literature with, author, Helen Fields as part of the Arundel Literary Festival. Our conversation started with a definition of art as the expression of human creative skill and imagination. Once you take out the human element in full or in part what is left?

I’m talking about AI in art and literature tomorrow as part of the Arundel Literary Festival on a panel discussion with author, Helen Fields. See my AI News post on our website: www.zimmerstewart.co.uk/post/ai-arti...

‘Emin has so fully re-established herself as a painter that it’s now a shock to recall the diversity of media in which she has worked over the course of her career.’ Hettie Judah on the artist’s recovery from her crisis of faith about painting.

Robert Burns was a fan of William Wallace and supported both the French and American Revolutions. In 1794 he wrote Ode for George Washington’s Birthday, saying that people in Scotland wanted the same freedoms that Americans had…………. It might be the other way around now. Here’s the poem:

This afternoon I’m going to the London Art Fair, let me know if you are too!

The RA Summer Exhibition is great fun! Evening Standard gives it just *** & wonders where art is going. Jonathan Jones from the Guardian gives it **** due to the big names: Emin, Sherman, Parker, Scully. I think it’s just art reflecting life in all its glory & whatever the opposite of glory is.
