Our AWOL artist resurfaced in the nick of time and the posters, invitations and flyers were thankfully sent off to print. After four solid days of writing and editing copy, I managed to send the Exhibition Guide to design - only two days later than scheduled. There was a bit of a panic when I realised that one artist’s work was larger than initially planned for, necessitating a hasty rearrangement of the exhibition layout and allowance for an extra wall to be built. Today, however, I made what I hope are the final changes to joinery specifications and to the installation schedule. I have ordered the purchase of the four monitors needed for one of the installations and borrowed a colleague’s chair for another (don’t ask); I have ordered a case for one of the sculptures and hired radio headsets for one of the performances. The same colleague from whom I have borrowed the chair is now hemming black-out curtains, staff have been booked to install the exhibition and hotel rooms reserved for all the artists. I feel that I may finally be making progress but it is Friday 13th, so I’m not counting my chickens just yet.
