Less than 3 weeks to go now until we head off to Tromso………
Last weekend went well at the Threshold festival at CUC. Loads of people can in to see the artwork and listen to the bands. It was a lot of work just for three days of exhibition space – especially as I only had one day to hang it all. But luckily, I had a lot of helpers so shouldn’t complain.
I’m off to METAL this afternoon to invigilate, so thought I’d better set-aside some time to write an update.
Small projects have asked us to talk about our work and the group set up, while we are there. Scary, but sort of expected. as the whole reason for our visit was to communicate with other artists:
Go and see bursaries are artist-led, peer-reviewed bursaries supporting travel between artists’ groups and networks in the UK or elsewhere, in order to explore new links and provide a focus for critical exchange, research and peer development.
The aims of the bursaries are intended to reflect the NAN mission: to promote the aspirations of artists and the development of practice through peer dialogue and exchange.
What we have now been asked to do though, is bring examples of our work. Bit of a tricky one that, as, to keep travel costs down, we are only taking the one suitcase between us – plus hand luggage.
Whatever we take, will have to be fairly small, light and most importantly, easy to carry through customs. Nice, interesting challenge though!
We’ve had another week of incommunicado – Jet and his group have headed off to Stockholm for ‘ Supermarket’ : http://www.supermarketartfair.com/
I’m looking forward to hearing about how that went as it might be worth us looking into for next year.
