bit of self promotion!!!

[frostfox]

Pardon me while I froth a little.

I received a letter today, a self portrait I did for a Channel 4 documentary has been chosen as part of a traveling exhibition which will be shown at art galleries across the country.

And the exhibition starts with a reception at the National Portrait Gallery in London in April.

Let me say that again....
A picture of mine will hang in the National Portrait Gallery from 10th April until 22nd June.

The National Portrait Gallery!
Wow! I'm dead chuffed.

It will then go on tour, National Gallery Cardiff, 3rd July to 30th August.
Glasgow Gallery of Modern Art, September 13th to November 16th.
Manchester Art Gallery, November 24th to January 20th.
Ormeau Baths Gallery, Belfast, February to March 2004.

I am quite relieved that I'm not one of the dozen self portrait artists chosen to be part of the TV programme itself. I'm not really up for a tv appearance. Even if it's only five minute progs after the evening news on C4, don't want to be a freak show.

The self portrait I did was done at work, in about 15 minutes in ball point pen, it's me belly dancing, so I suppose I had better wear a swooshy skirt to the reception. Boom chakka, boom chakka boom.
Uusual suspect, Bohemiancoast, is going with me, she works next door to the gallery, expect a Plokta article Real Soon Now.

I'm just glad this didn't clash with going to the US for Minicon. This is turning into quite some year for me.

Sue (who is dead excited!!!! Bounce, bounce, bounce.)

But does it have a moose in it?

...dressed in a nun's habit and skipping across the Austrian Tyrol. With edelweiss. You have to get these details in, you know.

Wow! That's magnificent. Congratulations and stuff. We'll definitely go through to Glasgow to see the exhibition - if we don't find ourselves down South at some point first.
