9 pm and I’ve just got back  from a rather long day at the Jerwood, I am very tired but happy with the progress that has been made. Today we discussed various approaches to curating the space with Sarah, and I think we’ve almost arrived at a natural conclusion for the show both individually and collectively. Clearing out the crap really is very therapeutic and amazingly effective.

As with most shows, there has been a lot of editing, and some works will not make the final cut. This isn’t to say that these works are rejects as such, but I feel it is more important to produce a cohesive final exhibition rather than hanker for every single nugget that I have produced to be given equal attention, and luckily I have the luxury of a curator at hand. Seems like the only squabble may emerge over one of the new works produced today – a silvery scene painted on one of those awful ready made canvas rectangles. The other work produced today, entitled “Weight Gain / Weight Loss / Hair Growth / Hair Loss” is a billboard of sorts on cardboard – it shall be staying, I think it is thrusty.

This will sound like arse kissing, but I’ll continue regardless, Mia’s space is looking brilliant (I love her strange 3D-ish mountain picture) and Steven’s dual screen projection is shaping up to be a … knock out.  Sorry.
