I have been neglecting the blog slightly as I was away on a trip to Shenzhen and Guangzhou with the other CEAC artists and recently returned. It is a bit hard to understand how the spaces function for me as they are supported in a different way, it seems they are supported by one of two sources: public money or property developers. The latter is something I am completely unused to, in the UK I don’t see anything like that at all. Barrett Homes funding a contemporary Art Museum? Never. What was even more surprising is that they were probably the places more relevant for my work to be presented in, at least that was the impression I got but like always, I may have got the wrong end of the stick so we’ll see what comes of these contacts. One way or another it was encouraging to see genuine contemporary art spaces are getting established and are thinking ambitiously.
Now I am very busy putting the performance together. I have the sense of not having enough time.
