My edition of 5 of Diary of a Foundling Artist with correct spelling arrived today. I think I was more excited than I have been for a long time. I took the opportunity of the delay to expand its contents to a whopping 30 + pages leading up to, but not including, the opening of the show. I now have to sign them with my less than inspiring signature and hope that some collector will be wildly excited by my story.
I remember more about the opening of RSVP now. In her speech Gill said that her work was only just starting and indeed we have had many emails about curators who have visited the show and opportunities we should look into etc. I couldn’t attend the first organised networking event at which I imagine Danielle Arnaud overcame her disappointment at my absence by handing out shows to everyone else (I imagine). Anyway I’m going to go charging around Frieze and Zoo on Friday leavng a scatter of cards in my wake.
I’m also starting to look ahead again. I have a residency coming up with BCA in Bedford in January and something with ‘young’ curators in Milton Keynes (their inverted commas not mine). So I’ve ordered Scott’s Antarctic Diary from amazon.
