Met up with the group last night and we talked about timelining of the event. There is so much to do in so little time! What was exciting was talking about the curation of the show and how we present ourselves to the public. We are, after all, calling it a Cheapside Show, so there is an element of the theatrical about it.
After the meeting we all went over to The Edge on Cheapside and had a first critical look at the space we are going to use. This was a daunting moment as the realisation of the work to be done, came to us all.
The Edge has some wonderful props and fittings that will ideally suit our event and Fudge and I made a bid for a great old style shop counter to use in our installations.
I have mentioned Fudge, so now would be a good time to introduce the members of Strange Ways.
Fung Ye Tsang (Fudge) is a multi -disclipinary artist based in Birmingham.
Helen Grundy, also multi – disclipinary artist and Birmingham based.
Angel Stripe is a video artist from Leamington.
Sharon Walford is a visual artist from Telford.
Avril Elward is a installation artist living in Coleshill, Worcestershire.
Annette Bowery is an animater based in Birmingham but currently working in Manchester.
Harmeet Chagger-Khan is a multi-dislipinary artist based in Birmingham but currently 'going roung the world as slowley as possible'.
Then there is me, and I would describe myself as a multi-disclipinary artist and I live in Wolverhampton.
