Grayson Perry’s 2013 Reith Lectures.

I was some 90 minutes into writing this week’s blog, as inspired by Grayson Perry and his wonderful 2013 Reith Lectures. However, Tumblr chose to not save my text when I attempted to save/create my first-draft post. Tumblr claimed (somewhat quaintly) that it could not connect to the internet, although all my other windows were connected, fine. Sigh.

So, that was the last time I shall do my primary writing via Tumblr; I shall simply cross-post to there from Medium, which appears to default to auto-saving one’s work. Ergo, this week’s blog is a very brief one. Normal service will be resumed next week.

One quote cited by Grayson Perry during this lecture really resonated, and the implications of what we could learn from the art world and should try to apply to life/business:

“Abundant production can only result in mediocrity.” ~ Marcel Duchamp.

Anyway, I highly recommend you listen to these lectures, especially the last in the series, I Found Myself in the Art World.

Please find the time to listen to it: there is much to learn therein, whilst also being funny and inspirational.
