It’s all go within the world of education at
this time of year – hanging the textile degree show at NUA requires a skill set
that includes the mediation of Nelson Mandela, the steely nerve of Amelia Earhart
and the dedication to truth and fairness exhibited by the wonderful Sharmishta Chakrabarti
Or
on the other hand maybe it’s more like the truth spoken by Bill Clinton in the
Monica Lewinski affair, the understanding of other people’s needs evidenced in
the work of Putin and the focused thought of late Elvis on pain killers. But
this year has the potential to be one of the best shows having spent 2 weeks
with some quite excellent work while assessing it.
Meanwhile
I have been shortlisted for the Parallel Practices Craft Council project - well
more through to the next round of many – it’s going to be a fascinating process
of speed date matching art and craft with medicine which is very exciting
There
are so many opportunities for active participation around Cley14 from walks,
talks and workshops – I would check out the web site. http://www. cleycontemporaryart.org/nwt. htm
