• On both the grant giving and arts organisation sides... there is this incomprehensible managerial language that is lots of giant words and meaningless sentences about nothing. Mealy mouthed words and theatre (not the good kind...) about pretending to care and do the right thing... but in the end becomes a barely veiled exercise in box-ticking.

At the moment the world just seems to be empty platitudes, box ticking, and ass covering. It is the antithesis of the idea of art as good art is meant to challenge the way you see something. I loathe this constrained game playing and regimentation you are supposed to adhere to. I also have real difficulty filling out such forms as the pseudo-ethics you have to adhere to makes me feel uncomfortable in my own skin. I know full well if I'm honest that I won't get what I'm asking for if I'm honest but it just comes out due to lack of self-control.
