Its all gone a bit quiet.
The panic has subsided, or seems to have. Hopefully its not the calm before the storm.
I think people have their final work now, at least I hope so , seeing as the show goes up on Tuesday.
Plans have been made for putting up and the Private View,
In retrospect there are things which we could have done better but working in a group can be tricky when the group is small. Less people to spread the tasks among, so everyone trying hard to juggle their personal projects and committments to group tasks. Fund raising is particularly difficult when there are only 11 of you, so everyone ends up paying more for the extras we'd like to have.
I think the final collection will work well. As some students work addresses similar subjects, these will look especially good together in the gallery.
We may not have all the expensive frills and freebies at our little show, but the work is good and everyone has done their best, and that's what its all about.
suffering from "passive stress"
like passive smoking, but you start absorbing other people's stress.
I am beginning to think I should have explained the word "contingency" to my fellow students, as the opportunity to factor this into their plans, seems to have been bypassed, and now panic is rife.
If I hear anyone else say their computer has died….. maybe I should have explained the term "back-up" also!
Now I probably sound like a proper clever dick, but age and business experience does count for something, please learn something from this.
I want to go and lie down in a quiet room, with no phone or computer
our show goes up in 8 days (hopefully)
Yesterday I came across these images of the archive in its heyday.
How crowded it is now in comparison, but still very atmospheric and totally recognisable.
I wish I had seen these earlier, I might have been able to use them somehow.
Although I may still be able to, because I have secured a show in Limehouse in August, where I should be able to show all this project. I will have to see what I can do once the Degree show is out of the way.
I went to my mum's today.
she says that when I finish my degree, I could get a job as a swimming instructor.
ever feel like you're not being taken seriously?
hey, I feel like I am getting there! prints gone for mounting, postcards ordered, book prepared!
Still have show tasks to work on, artists statement, and prep for the meeting at Departure, oh yes and the research books, but panic is subsiding a bit…..until I remember how much it's all going to cost!
