Well, I thought my last post about the vandalism at a public residency was hard enough, but I just read the comment from Franny Swann about her experience. (See comments on my last post) She is an incredibly brave artist to go through that!
I remember years ago when Tate Liverpool hosted artist in residence schemes….. Marion Coutts, Neville Gabie and Paul Rooney were all there at one time. Yes, their studios were very nice and well presented – but I distinctly remember then how quiet and how few visitors they had.
I’m still adamant that I will look for projects in more ‘unusual’ places so that my work reaches a wider audience.
