Time passes swiftly when you have a deadline speeding towards yourself… I started at 8am this morning, on what I thought would be a job that would consume an hour or two.. I finished at 14:00h… And this was just for the projector stands.
My DIY-worker will hopefully have the screen stands ready for me by sunday when I will start putting the installation up at the Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool…
The workmen at the Cathedral workshop are great, understated, competent and helpfull.I managed to find some semi opaque white/milky sheet plastic which hopefully will work for my projection screens.. And I got it for free from one of the local print workshops. These places are always worth checking on, as they otherwise only throw the end f rolls into the weekly rubbish. Sometimes they have unusual types of paper/plastic/acitate-type stuff on rolls..
I can’t reccomend other people’s bins enough..
Now I think I am for the most part set to open on monday. there will be no private view, these make me nervous, I need time to acclimatise to my own work, especially if it is an installation which is hard to feel a bond with unless I had a little time to look at it and contemplate..
I am still waiting for film reels, without which I can’t do anything at all, hopefully they will be in my letterbox tomorrow. Yesterday I got some motion sensors which didn’t cost £70 but £5.99 each.. After being told that I would have to spend £70 I am now perplexed why mine were just a fraction of that, will they work? That will also be the first time that I do some wireing…. Perhaps this isn’t a statement I should make so public, but I am excited about trying new things. And motion sensors which will activate the projectors when audience walks by, that is new and exciting for me.
Well, now I am looking forward to see how the work in progress will work in the space.
