‘If you don’t ask, you don’t get’
We’re still a young outfit, and our first premises are unlikely to be our last. Thus we have furnished the place simply. One of the larger walls seems to cry out for dressing, however, and we often muse together about the artistic possibilities – something 3D, healthcare-inspired of course. Tim fancies a PVC nurse’s outfit encased in glass like a museum piece. Debbie would like to have installed a human skeleton with a single pink capsule suspended on fine wire inside the abdomen. Ian rebutted this idea because he said it would scare his kids (and anyway he wants a huge plasma screen and a wii).
But I’m the one who made the obvious connection with Damien Hirst. Don’t think diamond encrusted skulls – think Pharmacy restaurant, medicine cabinets, syringes and paracetamol tablets on canvas. Problem: Medicine Cabinet sold for £190,000….back in 1998.
I have no problem asking for things. So I got in touch with his agent suggesting a loan of a piece…
Dear Jas
Thank you for your e-mail but I am afraid that Damien doesn’t loan works for this sort of request.
However, best of luck with your business

It was worth a shot. Nice to receive a blessing from the art world anyway.
Now then, any artists out there who want a wall to play with?
