I saw an article on the news this morning about a ?work of art? which is essentially a glass room full of fog. I can?t find the link on the BBC web site unfortunately. No doubt somebody got a grant/commission for this ?project? ? probably thousands.
So it made me think? I wonder if we could get a grant for this ?project?. I don?t see that it has any less value ? it is certainly ?accessible?, it is certainly ?unique? and ?evolving? ? why not? We just have to produce some pretentious description for it to present to the ?luvvies? and we?ll be away.
A friend of mine started a ?Gourmet Club? when he was at teacher training college ? they got a big grant and the (surprisingly small) membership used it to go out and eat/drink at top restaurants. You see, I figure it?s not the idea or the result that counts but having the balls to ask.
So, we?re looking for pretentious descriptions of this site to present to the arts council or some such and anybody with links or contacts to the aforementioned body. Oh, and we need to decide what to do with all the money too!
This week the arts council ? next week lottery good causes?
