Today’s curator meeting has been cancelled and rescheduled. I was a little disappointed, but also a little relieved. I think I just needed a day off of nothingness, allowing myself some thinking time. I’m not quite sure when I last had a day off when I wasn’t either in meetings, looking at art or running workshops, so this one is long overdue.
I’d left all of the starflies made with the children at the last workshop, on my window ledge to dry out and now they are all curled up. I’m going to have to spend an hour or so straightening them and storing them properly, but I think that’s all I’ll do today.
I would so love to apply for this residency: http://www.paper-gallery.co.uk/136855/opportunities but I can’t spare 3 days a week, financially OR physically. It doesn’t seem to be paid, so I wonder what type of artist could do it?
I can’t actually apply for anything really, which is quite frustrating. BUT.… I do have the US exhibition to look forward to next April. As a recap, I exhibited at SUPERMARKET Stockholm last year with my group SCIBase; we gathered artists as our ideas progressed, planning future collaborations. We now have a reciprocal exhibition with one of the artists in her home city.
So I am now reading with much interest the a-n news article: http://new.a-n.co.uk/news/single/working-internationally picking up as many tips as possible in the hope that everything runs smoothly.
