28 So I haven't written in my journal for the last three months. I guess that's a good sign. Work is going well, I'm very happy with how everything is going. My thesis in particular is really solidifying and it's looking quite well. I still sometimes get panic attacks about my work not being interesting enough, but then again I get things like an invitation to apply for a residency in Paris because they know me through Kunstbulletin or the talk at the fair in Lausanne or the art awards and yeah I guess it can't be that bad then. I've been wanting to reach out to a couple of people that have been on my course to thank them for their contributions that helped me steer my work into this direction. Quite funny how I'm now living so much more in my head than before and how I'm more stressed out and sleep less because I think about all these things. And I'm also frustrated by how little time there usually is to actually make work. Slightly annoying. But hey ho, that's life and we'll see what happens. |

30 I haven't been writing for quite a while. Simply because i've been working on my thesis. And I don't feel like reading what I've written and then writing about it again. So for not reading the last month: I finished my thesis around the 16th of December. My tutors were a little underwhelmed. So I started re-writing parts of it in January. The work was going well and a lot of progress was made during the holidays. Then we had a meeting on the 7th of January with our examiners where we had to present our work so far. That didn't go too well and I was very confused afterwards. It was quite nerve-wracking because they really went hard on us. A few days later I woke up in the middle of the night with a panic attack which was horriby confusing be- cause it's the first time in months that this has happened (still: only once). Then I started doing what they asked for, but it felt like I just wasn't getting anywhere and I felt like I couldn't make any sense at all any more with my work.. So last Thursday (2sth) we had a meeting with our professors before our interim presen- tation at hek, Was also nerve-wracking but felt good to see them again and to feel that they believe in me etc. And to see other people's work from my year, which is so good, On Friday i got an email from one Chloé asking if we could meet on Monday (today) to discuss the curatorial side of things for my project (she's a curator and directs hek). We met today and it went very well she has a lot of ideas and things she could connect me to, so been invited me to go on open studios in Bern in March to present the project there along with some others we'll talk about this again next week when she's back from holiday in order to set things up properly.. Talking with her really gave me hope that this might actually become something interesting and worth- while! |
