After the Monday tutorial....
In today's tutorial Andrew kept coming back to the sculptural quality of the work at ESW. He proposed that I have the drawings modeled some how... it seems reasonable to document a work 3 dimensionally. I'm already using posters, videos and texts. If nothing else it means meeting and working with new people and is another process that might throw up new questions and produce new work...
...I'm meeting up with Mike Windle tomorrow to talk about the possibility of some sort of crit with the MA graphic design students. I hoping that this will throw up something new...
Project space seems to be going to plan, this in it's self is a worry, things never really go to plan do they? Doesn't that mean you've forgotten something?...

So, what's good?
Just had a chat with Alan Currall about my concerns regarding last Mondays work and the forth coming project space. It's the first time I've spoken to Alan about work and I have to say I found it very helpful. He suggested a number of people I might look at, (including Trisha Brown, whose wall based works are sickeningly good), as well as discussing some of the good things about the work on Monday. The immediate result of this chat is that I have a more positive approach to the work and i feel a bit better. Thanks Alan....
So, what did go well the other night? The participants/performers followed my simple directions and filled in the blanks for themselves... they decided how to occupy the space, how to behave whilst they were up there. How far to push the set parameters. Eg. I had said that talking should be kept to a minimum, but speaking to spectators was fine. This direction quickly became irrelevant over time, where as, the direction to stand on the table was upheld at all times.
There are more examples but I'm not going to go through them all.
What I'm still not sure about is what to do with the project space... need to speak with Kim.
Incidentally, I'm using the words performance and performer more frequently and less grudgingly... hmm
