all's well that ends well?

so, its over, the past month has been one of the craziest, randomest of my life. iv had a fuckin laf, iv met some of the nicest people, iv argued, iv stressed, iv learnt a lot both about putting together a show like this, about marketing, in particular about curating but also a lot about myself, its been a cathartic experience, that im so glad i did, even though there were massive ups and downs!

at the end of the day, no matter what went wrong, what never happened, who never did whatever they didn't do, our end result is a bloody amazing show. i feel privileged to have been able to work so closely with the group of 15 artists i selected, and to be able to not only select great young artists who are so promising, but to be able to help in bringing to completion new projects, new work, new ideas directly for the show has been a real real amazing experience. some of the works are amazingly beautiful, strikingly powerful and strong for such young people, its been great working with such a lively and talented bunch.

the TV programme airs on friday in bbc2! i am cringing at how i will look on TV, how we will all look, the 4 of us and Vic? but at the end of the day what happened, happened, so lets see how it looks, signing off now, iv started my residency, another chapter has begun, lets see how well things go with that...
