Hurray I am to get more money- this is a huge relief as things were about to get a bit sticky. My solo at the Salt Gallery came down yesterday and I was beginning to wonder how I could afford to go and collect the work. With diesel and accommodation I am looking at a minimum of £180. Stupidly I didn't even think about dismantling costs. I was thinking of suggesting they bin it but three of the tvs were borrowed from Bury St Edmunds Gallery. Anyway it should all be ok now as long as the amateur scaffolders working on the roof don't knock the chimney down and my new bike remains unstolen.
I have also become obsessed with a website called statcounter which I use to track visits to my various websites and blogs. Any downturn in visits causes great despondency and mysterious visitors from New York or even Hull ignite false hopes of opportunity. One such visitor (Eric Rosoman) using Leicester City council's server did contact me last night offering me a solo show in August. Persistence of Vision is a series of shows featuring artists working in film & animation, Rachel Cattle & Steve Richards are on at the moment. Four weeks with three screens and a non-compulsory wall to fill with anything I like. I hate making decisions.
By the way I met Eric at the private view of RSVP last September, he mentioned a show then but I was very drunk.
