I’ve attended two talks recently; My day in the life of Salvador Dali and 6 Million Ways of Getting into the arts. Neither would have passed the Ronseal Trades Description Act.
Granted, the first guy, in his introduction to Dali, talked about self-promotion so maybe that means you can self promote a talk with that title when the talk was really an introduction to surrealism. Mmmmm but I’m not so sure…..the funny anecdote was Dali in a diving suit screaming for air!
Last nights talk maybe more down to me and 6 Million Ways…. maybe the name for the series of six talks….but if the first one is anything to go off, it’s misleading.
Public speaking is a skill and …….the one thing from last nights talk was the artist was better than the curator (bien sur): sculpture = storage. “The burden of objects (R.Lowther).”
