I’m waiting to place a phone call so I thought I’d do a quick update. The deadline for written up proposals is looming so I am currently trying to sort out costings for the two main works. Firstly for the Foundling Opera I want to use elements of Handel’s Foundling Hospital Anthem so I am trying to get copyright permission from Decca records. One of my main problems is that I am phone phobic & try to do everything via email. The call I’m about to make is to 3D images who deal with lenticular cards etc. I’m hoping to make a large video lenticular portrait of the trustees of the Foundling museum & I’m hoping it won’t eat my entire budget (£4000ish).
On a much smaller and less permanent scale I’m about to have some work in Demolition a show curated by Mercy in Site on Liverpool’s Albert Dock (just off-tate). I’m producing some durational sculptures which are likely to be destroyed during the exhibition (see image)
