Interesting, just editing my latest version and again have been asked to cut out remarks that could hinder peoples chances of future commissions.
People have felt comfortable in talking openly to me, but once given a chance to listen to these talks and reflect on what has been said, they suddenly start stressing out that people in positions of power, ie arts administrators and curators, will take offence and they will no longer get any work from these people.
& it is shameful to say that nowadays it is all about PR and how successful an event was. And never about looking slightly critically and learning lessons for next time. That curators will take offence with you saying anything seen negative and childishly say ‘well we won’t work with them again’.
Wondering should I give the people I record my conversations with a chance to review the draft edit?
Thinking that I should not. That once a conversation is recorded they person will not hear it until, like everyone else, its gone live on air.
