The beyond the gallery proposal is due by end of week and to be frank I finding it difficult to take seriously.
The one thing we do not have in Nottingham is decent gallery space so going beyond it seems to me we already shooting ourselves in foot…beyond is fine if we coming down with opportunities already…but we are not…
It is the awful gallery space situation or lack of it that problem. To that end I could twist the ‘non-gallery- venue into a kind of Merek ‘Broadway Gallery’. I could try and set up a temporary space that may be used again in future? That way I hit ‘beyond’ criteria but leave possibility of developing space open?
Maybe because I already been involved in so many ALI initiatives (currently planning a Songwriter’s Network) and in the past run a variety of ventures and promotions I not sure what to do for this one.
Easiest option is to just carry on Goldfactory option. Goldfactory Research Space is already up and running though. Also I had started planning TYPO 2 show….maybe in a temporary space for say 1 month?
Seeing as this been running since 2006 it pretty solid but withour further funding it hard to see where it can progress. I will try and meet with partner in it Paul Matosic before the weekend deadline and also arrange first meeting with mentor asap although this limited to when he available…
Secondly I could start investigating ‘public art’ area with mentor i.e. developing ‘horticultural art’ as public art idea? As I not meeting until after deadline probably this could be interesting…
Thirdly something to develop the Moogee (brand?) i.e. a new Moogee website and merchandising? Utilising the kind of mass-marketing approach used by Shrigley and banksy.
Websites like
and
but this moving into ‘artefact’ area…
and finally i just been invited to contribute art-related articles to Left Lion as well as Arts Hub UK…both unpaid gigs…but could be useful promotion for a TYPO show:-)
