the POST INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION residency started on the 6th of may and runs until the 4th of june11, working out of wyspa institute of art in gdansk shipyard.
from when i 1st found out my proposal was succesful until i left from the airport i was frantically running around like a headless chicken. i had (for a change) a temporary part time job that required i worked, this added to trying to put an arts council funding application together for the 1st time & organise partner, kids & dog meant that i had a terrified glazed look of panic on my face for most of april.
i am here now and i have left the face behind.
after touring the shipyard area, town, historical sites, buses, trains n boat trips with roma & kate, curators of the project, oh and eating lots of wonderful fish we are now on our 1st day ‘in the office’. ive caught up with emails, uploaded photos and sent off my AC application. there has been rather too much wikipedia for one day tho. i am working on my imac from home as i couldnt run to a ibook + software – to fit it in hand luggage i had to angle grind the stand off, so it is looking like a sad amputee but luckily it survived the trauma and continues to work!
