From a UK Point of view.

As you may have seen in earlier journal entries This weekend is the East Anglian Art Exhibition at Needham Market and both Sangluna and I have submitted art. Not only have they got my name wrong in the Exhibition Catalouge, They have put me down as "A Marcony" (What?) But they have Managed to pick the darkest corner of the whole exhibition to put our work up and they have hung them all so low down bellow other works on that panel that they are very easy to miss, despite some of the works being quite outstanding under an ordinary situation. No other panel of the exhibition has work so tightly packed or going so low down and it's all what you might consider to be more Darkly alternative pieces (in terms of style rather than actual brightness). Our panel is particialy dark in comparison to the panel opposite which is bathed in direct sunlight from the skylight above which means the glass on our frames reflects more light from the gallery in front of it than let through light from our pictures. It's really frustrating when compared to last year where they gave good positions to my pieces despite them being far less good than this years work. I can't get over the feeling they have hidden all the dark alternative stuff in a dark corner.
