205A Morning Lane

as march is coming to an end i was supposed to eccelerate towards final confirmations and start of production. unfortunately, i hurt my back last saturday so everything was brought to a halt. well, not everything, SPACE let me know yesterday they have projectors available a week earlier that initially planed – i will do everything possible to get them to re-confirm for the 23rd to 29th. it will be quite a job to get everybody else say yes to switched dates… it is quite a problem when you are working withought a proper budget and just hire equipment – this will be a great lesson to learn for the future.
also, with this compications i am not sure if i can pull out the private view – my intiial idea was to have my ex studio-mate, annie davey, playing some records and drinks just before the projections are switched on, on 26th april… four days into the installation… but now i'm monitoring sunsets and on 26th sun sets at 8.10 pm. the building's location is such that it doesn't have any barrier in front – so as long as there's daylight, the projections are going to be hardly visible… and that's nearly 9 pm… i'm not sure how to get people come to private view and wait to get dark???!!!
also, there are plans to do an open studio weeken 18th to 20th may, and i agreed to help with designing a postcard invite – Frixos asked me if i'd be interested to put one of the images of the installation to the postcard, which brought me to the point of reconsidering printing of my own postcards… now, with new developments in dates… i might drop printed invites and only send email invite to various mailing lists and use open studio postcard to promote 205A morning lane installation (a month later that it is happening)…
video, i cant think about it now, there are several techocal issues i need to resolve… like how to do a loop that will play for 4 hours without actually making 4 hours long video loop…
one good new is that yesterday i went to meet with Free Form's Dan Barker, IT support guy, who was very positive about installin the installation and even offered some boards to mount projectors. we discussed how to test projectors (ther will be 10 differnt projectors, so we have to test them all in order to get the best possible projections), how to fix net curtains.
it will be okay, artists of morning lane studio buliding were very supposrtive last week at the meeting and agreed to help with aditional filming, and maybe i get some of them help me with installing things… fingers crossed :)
