project proposals

The assessment option I have chosen for Professional Practice is to write a proposal to have our work exhibited. We must find a gallery (or festival, platform of any kind) and follow their submission guidelines. This is the beginning of my search.

last minute for all the world to see

So I guess being someone who unintentionally seems to thrive on the last minute I probably shouldn't be admitting to it here, since I am likely to use this blog as evidence of research/idea development/inspirations, just like the title suggests. I'm supposed to be selling myself here... but I appreciate honesty more, especially when it comes to creating art.
*Sidenote: Tonight on Triple J, John Safran was talking about how he can't lie. But it's not based on morals, its just because he's bad at it. Which, in a way, makes him even worse than those who lie, because he's only not doing it to protect himself... but yeah, he said it better.

Anyway, to help me work it out, the following is what I need to finish by Tuesday evening at the latest (to present in reviews for the rest of the week):

- prepare images for printing (much more time-consuming than it sounds).
- printing... in the digital darkroom, for the first time... scary.
- artist's statement.
- annotated bibliography.
- project proposal with timeline and budget.

Big things, little time. Once again, I wish I could've finalised the actual idea process earlier and I'd be right on top of all this! But I really think that's the hardest part. So I'm glad that's over. But now I have to transfer it from my brain into comprehensible writing and speaking... so I better get some sleep to recharge (I haven't yet changed the time settings for the blog; it's currently 5:45am).
*Omg... I forgot it's still daylight savings. That's one less hour of sleep :(
