I have started talking to people about funding the exhibition. Ideally we get one big sponsor for it covering arifares, accommodation, PR material and, most importantly, shipping the stuff. What I ideally need from you is top quality work and a stunning display during the Work in Progress show.
Using the documentation of the show I am confident to put together a mint proposal over christmas, so that fundraising can start properly in January. Also from last years Berlin show I remember that you were incredibly quick to come up with good ideas where to get the money from. So if you come up with any please let me know! NYC isn't Berlin, so it won;t be easy, but then again time is on our side.
Please give a thought to Milan as well: Do you want to show there as well? I think you should, but it's going to put a hefty strain on the 2nd term and is likely to mean no easter holiday...
Next Platform Dinner (and P8 Christmas dinner? Should we have one?) is on the 14th of December in the evening. I'll try to get a Journalist and Paul Cocksedge in, but nothing confirmed yet.)
Also: Gabi and me are trying to get a studio visit to either Kapoor or Heatherwick before christmas, hopefully that day.
Good luck for the 30th, I'll be in touch through blog regarding the Brixton school project as I'm going to be away next week (in Las Vegas. If I manage to win against the damn slot machines I'll fund the NYC trip).
