The scheme received a large number of applications which made for a highly competitive selection process. We also needed to balance the final cohort across regions, those applying as organisations and individuals and the range of activity being proposed.

Thank you again for your interest in the scheme and the time taken to submit your application.

With best wishes

Digital Aesthetic 3 at the Harris; Tate Modern (William Klein & Daido Moriyama); Rain Room at Barbican (3 hour wait so didn’t); Turner Prize at Tate Britain; Saatchi; ICA (exhibitions closed); Tate Modern (The Bigger Splash); David Shrigley at the Cornerhouse. Just so I don’t forget.

My bog standard/MO criticism of the display at the Harris – time based work with no signage indicating the length of time of the piece and no chairs/seating etc. How many times? Is it the artist or the curator?

Compare and contrast; at Tate Britain, signage for Luke Fowlers 90 minute film about R.D. Laing displayed screening times (like a cinema) and also stated “The screening room Model for an Artist’s Cinema 2012 was purpose built to propose a solution to the problem of showing long-form films within a gallery settting”. Which is better but…..so the person who designs/installs tiered seeting is being recognised for doing so as a response to a problem….do the technicians get a round of applause for hanging a painting. I wouldn’t pay £10 (price of admission to see Turner Prize) to see a film in a cinema knowing I would then be expected to stand up to watch the film, this all seems very basic – it’s 2013! The signage for the winner was very clear (no seats but because I’ve been informed it’s 20 minutes long I can do that – see image).
