I’ve just been sent an email in response to a press release I sent recently. To make my blurb sound more interesting (I assume) would I please answer the following questions?
What’s happening?
Why should we come?
What shouldn’t we miss?
Amazing art fact? (In relation to your work, either directly or indirectly)
Any special dates?
Your Biennial in seven words
Just great. As if I can think of any intelligent answers while I’m stressed out about the two exhibition openings (one tonight)
Brilliant that they got back to me though as many press releases just get deleted!
It’s been quite a tough week. With spending so much time installing in the unit on Tuesday, I asked one of the people helping with the other installation at Tate, if they would secure some of my houses on the plinth while I was working on the other exhibition. It was such a simple job, I really thought it could be done by anyone in quite a short time.
Much later that evening though, I got a call saying that my installation ‘was wrecked’. I couldn’t believe it. I think I tossed and turned all night worrying about it, even getting up at one stage to see if I could make a few more houses in the middle of the night.
It took me about an hour to repair it, so it wasn’t too bad, but I did learn a valuable lesson. If you want something doing………….
