A lot of bad news this week for the arts but despite all that I managed to get an interview for some freelance work with a local arts organisation.
I’m still reading the interview with Christian Boltanski. Luc has now joined the conversation and talks about justification and the affair. I may need to read it again to get to grips with it.
I’ve also decided to postpone the Mino residency application until next year. I need to keep focused and stop letting myself get distracted. I’m going to go ahead with the eating paper without an audience ‘as a relic’ to use Anton’s term. I need to keep remembering to do and not get stuck over analysing.
Despite that: the problems with eating paper is that it I have made it too complicated. It’s got too much attached to it. I’ve killed it before it exists. It’s forced and contrived and becoming not art. Why have I spent so much time making ‘not art’?
