2 knockbacks in fast succession

...but i'm STILL going to keep trying...

Paris residency, AGAIN i got the flick. I am so gonna try for the 12 month Germany one next year. Forget Paris, it sucks anyway, i hear a cup a coffee is very expensive. And in Germany, Juz can make the coffee... :P

A sculpture show for January, my work didn't suit the content of the show (lovely excuse actually). Blast.

Someone said that, the most important thing is winning awards for yer art. What a load of bollocks is my response to that. But yeah you know once you win one, well you keep winning em...

Much like people who win residencies, keep on winning em. How the HELL do they do it?

  1. persistence: you only need to luck out a few times & get a profile. It does suck but if you think about it does make a weird kind of sense.

  2. Maybe just wanting to learn how to make better work isn't a good enough reason to get granted a grant. You got to have a Project. Wankier the better. I'll come up with something truly wankiferous for next yr. I guess every year i'll write something wankier than the last, & finally when it is truly obscure it'll get granted. And i'll be 102.
