It is saturday, one of the last days of the exhibition being up, and I am becoming reflective, making notes on ways to improve on the next project, and also finding bits of time to just watch my work and the members of the public that mingle around it…
Tonight I am going to spend a few hours photographing every possible angle of the installation (again..) and tomorrow will then be the last full day. I have had a good response, and I really wish I had had the energy to pursue more funding…
It is great being with the work myself, but it would have been useful to delegate this invigilating job and come to the space with fresh energy to engage, instead of it being an every day job. Which left little time to plan the next project or make drawing work to bolster the bank account which currently is screaming in distress…
But it will come together. I am excited about next week, when I will edit my documentation footage, work on my portfolio and my texts, research the next projects, book my ticket for India (where I am making 2 installations !), find out how to ship my work back from India to here, make drawings, write to a few galleries, apply for a couple of residencies… ok, clearly not all that in one week… but some of that and some of what I forgot to include in the list. And actually: I really want to go and look at other people’s work.
And I need to find a venue for this same project (Devotional Choreography) but this time I want to show it in a small room with credit card sized projections. Intimate and very small… Except of course that the scale of the projectors, the audio volume they create will be in complete contrast with the fragility and intimacy of the projected image…
But more about that later. First I am going back to the cathedral to catch some more audience to chat with and see what they say.
I am looking forward to being in the space on my own this evening. It is really quite special to have such unlimited access to the place..To such a place. !
