A fortnight in Southend
I’ve been awarded a Time and Space residency at METAL in Southend and I go next Monday. This means that I get a fortnight of (unpaid) research time away from home, but it does mean that all of the things that need doing here (the paid things), need to be done by the end of this week. So I don’t think I’ll make much headway into my own work this week, but the luxury of two weeks to wander, think, read, meet people and experiment is like a light at the end of the tunnel.
I should add that I asked for the residency to be so soon, so as to fit in a slack/non-teaching bit of my calendar and with the development period of my work for the solo show.
Regular reports from ‘down South’ will follow next week…
