I’m tired in that deep rooted feel poorly kind of way. I should feel chilled and relaxed after Light Night but I’m haunted by all the stuff I didn’t do while I was doing Light Night. Also really hectic doing Creative Agent stuff.
‘Inside Out’ for Light Night was OK – visitor numbers were a bit slow, but it was a wet night, ACE Clothing is a bit off the beaten track and there were over 100 events on, so can’t complain really. Everyone that came liked it. I felt stressed all night though – we had problems with the projector and I wasn’t 100% happy with a couple of the installations in the changing cubicles. They were OK, but not my favourite work. The window projections were good. I think I got the balance of content and mass appeal right for this sort of ‘festival’ type of event and the windows gave passersby an ‘instant hit’ without demanding too much effort (mental or physical).
Other good news – my work’s been chosen for a book about artist mothers ‘The M Word’.
Also i’ve had a great conversation with Kat Griefen, Director of AIR Gallery in Brooklyn, NY,and I’m going to run a discussion event for artist parents.
Finally I had a really positive and interesting meeting with Julia Keenan at ACE recently about APT = Artists Parents Talking – I’ve got a much better idea about how to strategically position the network, particularly in terms of fundraising.
Just need more energy to keep all the balls in the air…
