Its Friday already. Meeting last night. We are a truly clever collective. Despite the wine and hilarities we get the jobs done – and no-one falls asleep during the grown up bits.
Julie (West) has made a plan of the building so the curating (collectively, obviously) is underway. The plan is a work of art in its own right so we are going to use this in the interpretation in some way.
So far it has just been us, the artists, discussing and planning. The wider picture is starting to emerge as we work on publicity.
We have been approached by at least 7 other people to place work in the show and word is getting round that the building is going to be used. All this was up for discussion last night and we agreed the show is now formed. As it's site specific to add to it would almost be cosmetic and not integral.
There's a bigger issue of how we are received in Derby. Although NO PARKING has no political agenda we are making a statement by merely occupying the empty shop. Opening a can of worms so to speak…………
