So, I now have a three year plan!
I had a crit with Matt yesterday about what to put in the exhibition but also about career stuff. It was really helpful partly because preparing for it got me writing down a plan for what I want to achieve over the next few years. It is amazing how writing stuff down clarifies exactly what you don’t want to do but feel like you should.
The rough outline goes something like, this year review old contacts and new and solidify networks. Sort out all publicity/statement/cv and produce a small publication
Next year, get together with people to put on group exhibitions plus apply for 4-6 solid and appropriate exhibition opportunities such as salons.
The year after continue this exhibition practice and aim to go on another residency, starting to think about building a relationship with the art scene in another country.
All this alongside mantaining and building on my gallery education work.
Having a clear direction makes me feel very positive about things.
Plus, it’s sunny!
