Part ii:
Personally I am working a great deal on a Tether supported project that I am co-curating. The show, entitled 'Fictions' present works inspired by or exploring ideas related to the writings of Jorge Luis Borges. The exhibition opens on Thursday 19th March and runs until 8th April, at the Bonington Gallery. I have a lot of work to do on my own piece, which I haven't had time to focus on over the past month or so, due to the vast number of organisational and menial tasks I've had to sort out.
The previous week, in particular, has been an absolute nightmare. I have been trying to get the exhibition's flyers printed, but the printers I had found misquoted the original price BY HALF. That has meant that me and my co-curator Fay Nicolson have had to greatly reconsider the number of flyers we were going to have printed. I have also messed up the format of the design several times over the last few days, most recently the misplacement of the Arts Council logo, which has meant I have only just sent the design off. On the plus side, every other element of the show seems to be ticking over nicely, including our project webpage: www.hugh-dichmont.com/fictions
Other tasks I have on my to do list, whilst helping to manage Tether and work four part-time jobs (yes, four), are writing an article on Tether for an online journal, and making some short video works for Tethervision- a new online podcast project Tether are due to launch over the next couple of months.
I'm not sure if I have forgotten anything, but it probably would be for the best if I had, as you're probably tired of reading right now. My Tether mates will also probably slate me for writing too much about my own stuff and not enough about the group's processes, but IT'S ME WRITING THIS BLOG SAM, LIAM AND BEN. SO THERE.
Apologies. My first ever blog.
