I began this blog at the beginning of 2010 as a kind of thinkdump for the process of being an artist and how it differs radically from my intentions, how domestic reality constantly interferes with the creative. In writing this blog I am trying to embrace these interstitial episodes as being the creative.

Endgame (1957)

Nell: Nothing is funnier than unhappiness.
Nagg: Oh?
Nell: Yes, yes, it's the most comical thing in the world. And we laugh, we laugh, with a will, in the beginning. But it's always the same thing. Yes, it's like the funny story we have heard too often, we still find it funny, but we don't laugh any more.

better late than never

about a month after the incumbent is already in post!
what does administrative competence mean?
and is it better to fail in the face of vigorous competition or only against a few people? is failure qualitative?

"Many thanks for applying for The Mirror residency at Wysing Arts Centre. We had 271 applications for The Mirror and a total of 617 applications across all twelve residencies. All applications were reviewed in detail by Wysing’s curatorial team which includes three individuals. It was difficult to reach a final decision but on this occasion I am sorry to tell you that you were not selected. Due to the high volume of applications we are not able to offer individual feedback to unselected artists on this occasion. I do hope you will keep in touch with Wysing and consider applying in the future.
In the meantime, we are currently advertising studio opportunities, which includes a Live/Work studio. More info here: http://www.wysingartscentre.org/artists/opportunities.html. Should you be interested in studio rentals then please contact Wysing’s Operations Director, louise Thirlwall, on louise.thirlwall@wysingartscentre.org
