"The artist's Eye" Copyright M.A.L.Huguet
Refflections:
There were not many visitors attending to "Meet the Artist" day, only few friends of mine and just two from the Organiser side. Not much effort was made to promote this event on their behalf; only the Manager came together with a photographer to the "Meet the Artist" day. Mmmmnnn I thought he would be taking photos of my residency and make a little bit of publicity about my artwork but it was contrary to my thoughts.
Surprisingly, the photographer took the same photo I had taken and used as my poster, this is from a view that only residents have access to it. I had promoted my opening event with it and had previously emailed the poster to the Organiser in order to promote my opening. My flyer was displayed on the window hut for every one to see. However no publicity was made about my residency or work, only a couple of links to my blog posted on fb.
I wasn't happy with the implications, as I felt I had been robed. There must have been previous artists to me on Residence at the Hut, who may have noticed such an inspiring view, but as far as I am concerned, I have never seen the same image published before me.
Creative Canterbury is now using the image taken by their photographer to promote their own business, and the product they sell. But considering they serve to the arts, and the artists involved, who happily agree to be doing unpaid work on their site, they should consider to respect artist's work, and this is an opposite sample of good practice. It is quite interesting also to know that, Creative Canterbury has removed all publicity involved related to the residences at the Blue Little Hut, so there's not any record now online about my own residency, only the ones tha I am publishing in my blog here.
It's good to create tendencies, though, respect is a must.
As for the views, I've seen the most beautiful sunsets ever from the window at Little Blue Hut, located in Tankerton Slopes in Whitstable. Below there are some photographs which I have selected and edited on video.
