Re:view bursary anton hecht

Have booked in a meeting with James Lowther, Head of visual arts in Berwick. Went up to Berwick and saw the opening exhibition in the revamped Gymnasium gallery he put together. It was crazy golf designed by artists. the kids loved it. I also have a meeting with Richard Hollinshead of the public art agency Grit and Pearl booked in for Tuesday, this may lead to me investigating ways I could develop my work so it might be considered for public art commissions. I am also waiting for confirmation of a date to meet with Mike Stubbs at FACT in Liverpool, which will help me develop the on-line side of my practice.

Have sent messages to some of the people I wanted to meet and talk about what I do. It was hard to work out how to phrase an invite, but felt a bit more confident mentioning it was part of a bursary scheme, as it seemed to give it a greater authority. It has always been a bit of a dilemma for me, as you have to push your work forwards, for yourself and the people involved, but also I don’t really like being too visible as a person. Still it would be nice to see if the work I produce fits in anywhere. So will update with any replies I get.
