So there I was, rejection in hand, wondering about what I should do next. Flippantly I thought, surely this means I have to go to Antarctica, to stowaway and then suddenly pop my head up and say: "well you told me I couldn't not go". This was probably the better idea, but it was my second one. My first thought was: "well, I can not go to the antarctic without help"
My plan is to:
1. Track, as best I can, the progress of the two successful artists and if possible set up some sort of communication with them.
2. Advertise my non appearance at the pole.
3. Write about what I do while not there.
This morning I received a letter from Dr John Shears of the British Antarctic Survey's Artist's and Writer's Fellowship. It was a nice letter which said:
Now that the judging panel has met and made it's final selection of the two successful candidates, I thought I would write and thank you for your application to "not go to the Antarctic".
The panel were most intrigued by your very unusual proposal and I would like to thank you for sending it in.So there I was, rejection in hand, wondering about what I should do next.
