What a week of bickering! You would think there was an election looming or something of the sort. The question is; will our dear prime minister enter the ‘big house’ reality TV show or not? Mind you, I can fully understand his position, let’s face it, would you like to spend hours with the charismatic Mr Clegg, the mastication’s of Mr Miliband, or suspect fantasies of Mr Farage without some female company that might just bring a more panoramic view of the world, not discounting, in my view, the sheer inner beauty of a woman (possibly discounting Mrs Thatcher of course). Whatever the real reasons for Mr Cameron wanting Ms Bennett to be included in yet another ‘reality show’, will of course never be truly revealed, that is, unless we have some ‘off set’ discourse where the real dirt can be heard. If only I watched reality TV!!
For me, the last week consisted of beginning my new project ‘BLURRED’, adding my name to a couple of art registers and applying for ‘FREE’ open gallery submissions across the globe: San Francisco, Boston and London. The increasing trend of paying (under the guise of ‘administration fees’) to have your work added to a huge list of other artists, that might at some stage towards the end of the 21st century be viewed and politely or not so politely rejected is somewhat disconcerting. However, since my return into the ‘world of art’, this seems to be almost the norm.
I have also posted an entry for the ‘Open West’ exhibition, not because the £34 entry fee for the inclusion of four pieces of work seemed a bit of a bargain, but that I could actually put my work forward for selection. This came as somewhat of a pleasant surprise, as most open competitions seem to have size restrictions that enables then to exclude my work before it has even been submitted. Big must be bad is all I can surmise!!! So here’s fingers crossed for the Open West and those free submissions around the globe.
