I started my application a month ago, added more last night, and got the rejection the same evening! Reading this blog, and from the letter, it feels like he rejected many out of sheer overload. The question is, if I feel like it, there is no date given when I can apply again. I'll wait for the next Director.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-16059056606331779862007-06-01T19:15:00.000-04:002007-06-01T19:15:00.000-04:00After a few months I got a rejection too.It was an...After a few months I got a rejection too.<BR/>It was an encouraging one though.<BR/>By the way, there were over 7000 applicants!<BR/>I guess it will take him a while to go through them all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8694556.post-37466605120548378642007-03-15T16:43:00.000-04:002007-03-15T16:43:00.000-04:00Hey.

You ARE already in one sense. Everyone has their own agenda and we can either wait until our work fits into someone's agenda or we can create own own. I've done both and each has its own frustrations.<BR/><BR/>What do you think about the SHOWDOWN at the Saatchi site? I can't believe there isn't a fix going on there... sort of like American Idol... or the 2004 Presidential election.<BR/><BR/>other news - John Pollard recently sold a piece from his booth at Scope to Cindy Sherman!<BR/><BR/>There will be panel discussion on Donato's work at Reynold's gallery next week.
