The hang for the h.Art Young Open Exhibition is on Monday 1st Sept – coming around very quickly!
We have combined PV invites with 2 other city venues – all on different evenings, our PV is on Tue 2nd 6-8pm – so a very short run up from delivery of work – Monday, to the opening evening the next day.
We have display screens still to paint in Hereford. The directors of Framework Herefordshire (an organisation set up to support emerging artists who live, work or have studied in the county) handling much of the planning of this are now fairly spread out geographically – me in Abergavenny, Alex in Nuneaton, Daisy in Worcester, Marion a drive from Hereford and Johnny is the only one in Hereford. We are in constant email communication, have regular meetings. Sometimes it isn’t enough, so we’re going to have video calls more.
And also – the downside to all that funding stuff is I haven’t decided what to display yet! There is lots to choose from, but I’m erring towards showing some of my most recent work where I’ve decided to pitch intuitive painting against writing, in the same piece. I don’t think its become destructive enough yet, I want to PUSH the writing and PUSH the painting until one of them takes over. Haven’t got there yet!
