bringing it all together.

with less than a week until 11th, i turn my attention to the art trail again after 3 fairly solid weeks concentrating on my arts council funded snee snaw project. i am quite tired from the performance on sunday, however the later stages of co-organising the art trail is giving me some space from the snee snaw. i reflect that in later years that maybe leaving it all to the week before might not be such a good idea.

having said that, i contacted the participating artists and their collective responses to mounting the exhibition has been brilliant. we're on course for the exhibition to be viewable by the 11th. i acknowledge the help and support of chris and all of those other artists exhibiting at this year's belper art trail.

in terms of learning about mounting the trail, i am certainly doing that and there is a slight risk that the downloadable brochure might not be ready until the 14th july.

as a pilot scheme, i feel i am learning loads and i can't wait to see all the work installed in all the shops.

on a personal note, i have been over ambitious with attempting a new piece of work for the trail. i had hoped to show the new work in lester and nix. it is looking very likely that i will be unable to show any work this year, as the involvement with organising the trail this week leaves me no viable time to make the new work. the work was going to be thinking about the artist as potential. in this case i have not reached a potential i had set out for myself. i hope to make this new work in the future and show it at another opportunity.

I'm thinking of a strategy to include lester and nix in the trail, even though i am unable to show within the premises.
