If you were awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship grant, what would you do with it?

lol, If I got one…. it means someone really fucked up… I’d try to learn “Art styles” I guess….or just give it back…

I’d probably try to procure some land and place it in a trust preserving it for an experiment involving a couple dozen select participants (i.e. friends of mine) try to live as hunter-gatherer-gardeners, and record as much anthropological data as possible.

In fact, I might apply now.

$43,200? After all those are taxes taken from it, would put the remainder in the bank, I suppose.

Turn my outbuilding into an artist’s studio, wood/workshop, and writer’s office. While away the days flitting from one area to the next.

I would do something that totally offended the Guggenheims.

I would quit my job for six months, and travel to India, where I would live cheaply and travel the country, sketching scenes of life there, and turn them into huge gorgeous paintings, full of color and vitality.
