I came across this guy who had set up business on St. Cyrus beach. He said he was trading as a local curator, he had made his office from the driftwood which is deposited on the beach. It was on the coast so he didn't need to pay business rates. The only thing to bother about is the tide and the possibility of being washed away. What an amazing place to work, the beach is his office. Although it looks a bit shamanistic, tribal and primitive, he was offering a service to visitors and locals. Constructing contexts, making links for people to think about, offering a solution to a curating issue or problem. He bartered what he needed, so a proposal for a group exhibition of local artists and a 500 word interpretation statement got him 6 eggs, a pint of milk and some salt.
