I spoke to Eric yesterday mentioning my uncertainty about what to show in Leicester. Apparently he's exactly the same with his work, but we decided on the Automatic films (which was what I thought in the first place) So I am relaxed about that now.
I seem to be running lots of things in parallel at the moment. Months ago I promised to put on a show in the gallery space at Asylum studios. I put it up today using the space to try out a hang of the work from Bedford. Actually I only put up half a show as there were still remnants of other work in the gallery. It reminded me that I need to think about framing, the best way to present books and that I have too much stuff. I am also finally compiling a list of random addresses to send the " Alex Pearl is not in the Antarctic" postcards to. I'm using the post office's postcode finder It only lets me find 15 a day but I am keen to become a junk mailer so I soldier on. I am still staring at the stars and have just bought some black 16mm film on ebay to put little holes in. Finally, well not really finally but I want to avoid appearing like a nutcase, I've also been making some photos using postcards of interiors and a home-made illuminated viewer. Unlike everything else I haven't a clue why I'm making these things or where they will go.
Oh and I'm making a new protest film for a show in Stratford in September.
Strangely I'm doing a lot of sitting around playing on the internet.
