Apologies for going so awol… very good long weekend in Liverpool/Kingsley having a 1950s themed birthday party. No time to finish off all those little jobs while I was home after all.. so am feeling unprepared and a bit muddled about what I need to do next. Mum was here for a few days this week so we saw a lot, explored, ate, drank and were utterly geeked up at Ars Electronica digital art festival here this weekend. Some fantastic stuff, will upload pics when I find the phone cable…if I didn’t leave it in Liverpool… oh dear.
Also the migrating academies project is here from Vilnius (among other places) so I will go along tonight and see if anyone there knows Fiona Flynn (fellow a-n blogger who was filming an art/reality show, Artothlon, there this summer).
Exhibition opens here on Tuesday evening so that had better be first on my list I suppose!! Work is sort of done, but I haven’t decided how to show it or where it should go. The space is still awkward and I am considering putting it in the lift. Maybe I should be in it? Maybe I should walk around during the opening, bump into people and spill their drinks and break other people’s work. Perhaps not. Besides I had more ideas and starting making another piece today, as usual.
Mehmet from Turkey is here, going through similar troubles extracting money or information, I empathise but cannot lend anything this time.. Money from YSP (To be paid Sep 1st in contract) has not appeared – it is to be a cheque in the post so I am being very wary of spending what I have.. it might need to last me a long time. I realise now that I am always in this situation and it is tiresome! It also makes me a bore so I shall stop on that subject, sorry.
So anyway.. hanging the show over the next day or two and then some proper thoughts.
