THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN X-FACTOR AND THE CHARTS

cheryl cole in l'oriel advert.

It has come to my attention that pretty much everyone in the UK charts has or is in Xfactor. I am interested in this control element and music being used a machine to make money which Simon Cowell does very well. I'm also watching the way they put themselves into the newspapers so that they surround everything i.e in metro, the london newspaper, Cheryl coles l'oriel adverts, the timing of peoples tracks in comparison to X factor. Stupidity over talent when Jedward are kept for viewers. The Whole relationship amazes me and I love watching it.

I have copied and pasted the top 40 and put the xfactor people in read

Simon Cowell has said this year's X Factor contestants are not "big belters" - but they will receive plenty of support.

The ITV talent show judge was asked if this year's crop were as good as in previous years, and said: "I've got to put them in the studio yet... I'm happy with them but they're different... They're not like these big belting artists."

Simon Cowell says there are no 'big belters' on this year's X Factor

He added: "They're going to get a lot of support whatever happens."

Simon said he had not made his mind up yet about the winner's single.

He was also asked about the sex appeal of fellow judge Cheryl Cole.

Paul Baker - Model Maker

Selfridges shop windows. This interest in micro environments.

Cheesy version of Fischli and Weiss - found from James May's big toy thing

Eduardo Paolozzi : The Jet age compendium

It was a nice little exhibition. Lots of colour and collage and I'm starting to understand the elitist stuff a bit more now, like when Mickey is used, I know what that means. I like his conversation about man and machine, very nice. Very much deals with cheesy surface like me. Alot of collecting me thinks, which is what I am starting to do. These collages seem like mental spaces which are constructed of lots of different images, they remind of the way I store images and mental things in the head but their not really there. You definately recognise the shapes and things but it's not real because it doesnt exist.
It's a very modernist way of making work. From reading these post modern books Im starting to understand that he's possibly exploring the modernism theology using collage which is a postmodern technique, the nostalgia, looking back mixing things up...very surfacey. But this machine this progression bettering oneself idea. Yes. I think I get it. for once. lol Definately figurative.

Dave Hullfish Bailey and Nils Norman surrounded by squares

Okay, so I thought I wanted my work to be about talking about the environment etc, and I discovered the work PERMACULTURE at this exhibition, where I read alot of little snippets of books. Which was quite nice. But I dont know what happened, I think sometimes it takes a while to sink in when I see shows. I understand this idea but I didnt understand how these objcts and spaces and places tied in with it all. I found the reading v. interesting and the topics were exactly like kind of stuff I liked....microgardenenvironmentsustainability stuff....but is this just the way I life I want to lead instead of it being in my work? Im starting to realise that theres alot of looking at the earth shows at the moment, The Barbican, The Earth show at Royal Academy coming, this one here. Its fashionable to look like you care. I do actually care though. I hardly ever use bags although i probably am quite wasteful but I try not to be more than some. Its Glastonbury sinking in I guess. But yes Im starting to discover and difference between life and art and things I find out in art the inform my life and the way i live it but not neccessarily topics in my work. Or maybe they'll come out in the future. I guess its a way of looking at landscape all this stuff so it's relevant. The shapes though, very strange. Maybe I didn't understand the materials enough.
