Just a quick note to everyone who wrote me on- or off-list about the
whole micro-publics thing. Many of you were very supportive and
encouraging, and lots of people had good insights into the situation
that most of us face. I guess the difference is made by whether you do
what you do for yourself or for others, cuz if you do your work for
others expecting to reach a huge public and so on, you will very likely
face disappointment. And it's not always about reach the masses with
your message. Sometimes one kind work makes it all worth while. This
sounds sentimental and so on, but it's a pretty basic insight that I
lost track of.
I think what I need to do, from the perspective of my own work, is think
about how to make it the best it can be, and not necessarily release
every single thing I do. I think I got into releasing stuff before I was
really ready, and maybe what I need to do is take a break from that for
a while and work on making something which is, for me, really
spectacularly excellent. And from a curatorial perspective, perhaps what
I should be doing is really thinking hard about how to make a label that
can really stand out and release stuff which is just not available
anywhere else. When I have more time, I think that's exactly what I'll
do.
Anyway, thanks again all for the good insights and/or kind words.
