Gallery Dreaming…
In order to be permanently closer to my partner (he’s a US citizen) I’ve decided to move to Philadelphia, USA. But I’m still committed to doing a PhD in the UK if the AHRC will bless me with some more funding love. So, lots of international nomadry to come, which is damn exciting!
M lives in West Philly, which is a regeneration area near to the University of Pennsylvania and Drexel University. There’s also the ICA, the Slought Institute (international art gallery) and plenty of hipster cafes, open mics, a farmer’s market and a community-oriented yoga studio nearby within about a ten minute walk-radius.
I’ve come up with a new, amazing plan. M and I are going to find a building near the yoga place, do it up, and open a contemporary art gallery and studios. M is a musician, currently doing teacher training. He’ll eventually be setting up his own community music school/outreach centre. Compassionate and artistic and awesome plans ahoy!
Will do my best to make little updates on this blog as often as possible to show you our research, planning and action processes towards this goal. We’re also planning to be urban chicken raisers. Life is good.
Think when my MA is over I’ll take a Business course! Have found an introductory one on the Open University. How exciting! Have definitely got my mojo back after several months of dithering and ill health. Stay tuned for breathless updates and lots of sketches!
