It’s weird… earlier in the year, I was blogging about the joy of receiving a-n funding to visit artists in Tromso, Norway. I wittered away about how exciting it was to see so much snow, to have the experience of exhibiting there and being scared witless about standing up and talking about my work to a group of Norwegians.
..and no one it seems, gave a toss.
Now.. I’m writing ….well actually I’m having a good old daily moan about the lack of decent exhibition space and having to pay up for it … and I seem to have hit a nerve.
Today, I opened the local paper to see if they had given my residency any coverage. I’d virtually begged the guy who writes the weekly art ‘paragraph’, to mention it this week because they were going all out to put on this family fun day at the centre . Did he mention it? Did he hell. Yet again, they did a piece on some artist producing very saleable stuff in a wealthy area gallery .
