27th: So here we are all packed up and ready to go. Yes I know the box does not look it would be able to protect itself let alone whats inside but the gallery is just down the road. So there should be no problems.
Next week is the PPC opening and this Friday is the Spier deadline. Still ruminating on that one. Got one idea which is really deviding opinion. Its making some people feel really uneasy but others feel that with a bit of tweeking, it is a strong piece. Got another couple of proposals but i don't know if I am going to be able to flesh them out fully enough to be worthy of submitting. But there is ABSA and Sasol to try for next year.
20th: Isn't it uncanny that when you know that there is something you urgently need to do, you can always find something more important to do. Like lugging 200 or so metres of cardboard tubing from one spot to another. Priority level none existent but still it was absolutely imperitive that they were moved. Who knows what they would have done if I had left them where they were.
On the other hand there is a Spier proposal to finish;
Priority level: WHAT ARE YOU WAITNG FOR!?!?
And of course the final preperation of Magnum for transportation.
Priority level: GET YOUR ARSE INTO GEAR AND STOP WASTING TIME!!!!
But Sir the tubes Sir, the tubes.
Ah but there is always tomorrow, the day after that, better still the weekend, or even next.......
16th: Tubes glorious tubes
Dahhh da da da dahhh
As you can see in our picture on the left the Fuller household have masterfully blended a load of old cardboard tubes into a free spirited mix of old and new designs in their lounge.
Whilst being a key focal feature that no living space should be without, the muted light browns of the tubes contrast wonderfully with the deep Victorian red of the back wall . Gourgeous I am sure you would agree.
Thanks Gordon.
12th: Hmmm - curiosity is not always a good thing. In South Africa bribery it seems to be getting to the stage where its filtering into all sectors of life. You wouldn't imagine it possible of some of the people who own up to having paid at least one in their lives. So just out of curiosity, because of their position, I asked if they had ever been approuched. Cue immediate change of conversation and embarrassing moment of silence.
Of course in my mind now there exists a papradox of guilt: Do you choose to say nothing about it again in the hope that the matter is forgotten, or do you go back and make it clear that you had no intention of offering one? Which of these courses of actions least confirms your guilt?
6th: Mouth is back to a functional state - no more Salfethter impressions for me.
Magnum got in to the PPC Young Sculptor Awards. Turns out the gallery has been trying to call me for the last couple of days. Because of my phone being out of commision and our second phone not taking their call, (reasons unknown probably because it wanted to show me up as being completely incompitant), I was unhappily under the impression that I would just have to try again next year. HA HA not so.
So know we are back to the conundrum of do I go? And if not who should go as my stunt double? Richard what do you think?
1st: Admittedly it is not the 1st of July, its actually the 12th of October but after learning something about pop up menus, templates and the editing there of I have decided to take this chance to try and edit out all spelling mistakes etc while I am changing the navigation of the relevant files.
