Bold
Transform UK’s cultural landscape
Real scale and ambition
An idea which might never see the light of day
The sites or situations that the proposals relate to should not habitually be used for the presentation of the arts
I’ve attended two talks recently; My day in the life of Salvador Dali and 6 Million Ways of Getting into the arts. Neither would have passed the Ronseal Trades Description Act.
Granted, the first guy, in his introduction to Dali, talked about self-promotion so maybe that means you can self promote a talk with that title when the talk was really an introduction to surrealism. Mmmmm but I’m not so sure…..the funny anecdote was Dali in a diving suit screaming for air!
Last nights talk maybe more down to me and 6 Million Ways…. maybe the name for the series of six talks….but if the first one is anything to go off, it’s misleading.
Public speaking is a skill and …….the one thing from last nights talk was the artist was better than the curator (bien sur): sculpture = storage. “The burden of objects (R.Lowther).”
