I've now started to play with bits of foamboard and have painted a few toy boxes to build the mini Doll Gallery.
The materials I'm using are leftovers from my degree shows – in this time of David Bowie scapegoated credit crunch poverty and so far no funding, I have to make use of whatever resources I can lay my recycling little fingers on. It will be an eco friendly gallery!
I'm also planning a trip to London in March, for the purposes of taking my eldest son to the premiere of a Hollywood film he was in, in Leicester Square, and as such I am keeping an eye out to check any exhibitions I may catch whilst there.
I found this http://blog.tate.org.uk/unilever2008/?p=51
amazingly exciting – it definitely references my research areas of Baudrillard, and there's even an A-ha The Sun Always Shines On TV mannequin moment, all very sci fi and exciting, again it's being taken into consideration with regard to my own gallery building; this mini doll gallery being a simulacrum in many ways.
I've lived in Lincoln for 3 years now, so why does it never fail to amaze me when I see The Red Arrows fly over the city in formation?
