The much-updated website was uploaded today – a deceptively angst-ridden process, with broken links and lost files to contend with. But Trevor has done a great job. He did find that the back-issue Kalender pdfs wouldn't open because of a website-provider upgrade but that's all sorted now. Sorry if anyone has been trying (and failing) to download them.
Anyway – ta daaaaa:
Time now to work out what to do about my outstanding Arts Council funding. The second instalment will only be forthcoming when (if) I secure another exhibition at a higher-profile gallery. *Sighs*. That's not proving easy. Do I persevere now I have these installation photos from Ex Voto to show sceptical curators? Part of me wants to give up on this profile-raising palava and accept that I won't be given funding to make some more ambitious work. That would also mean giving up the ten per cent of the total funding that ACE hold back until the whole project has been evaluated. As that money is part of the original budget, it's effectively already been spent, and not continuing would mean not recouping that expenditure.
Do any artists out there actually make a living rather than just trying to limit how much they are spending on their art, I wonder?
