Failure – unrealised projects
Murdo Macdonald had told me about the duplication of statues of Robert Burns. The ones we are familiar with in Scotland also exist in the USA, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. We made a proposal to the Maclaurin Trust to develop an exhibition for the 250th anniversary of the birth which was going to happen in 2009. We did a presentation to them. They never responded – they must have buried it. Read it: Proposal Burns Statues MM.
There’s a whole parallel universe comprised of unrealised projects….no better or worse than the one we live in! Sounds like something that might fit the commonwealth 2014 fund that is doing the rounds though, no?
