7-13 September – the week of installation. Received a very warm welcome from espace 36 team and the first 2 days went quite smooothly. A few changes were made to cope with the amount of light coming into the space. As always, for me, when I arrive at the space with all the installation stuff, things shift and change and some things work fine and some need ajustment – so happily did all I could to make the projection work with the building. There were a tense few days while we worked hard to make original plan work and 5 hours before opening it was still all up in the air ! It wouldn’t work – so went back to the set up we achieved on Tuesday ! The vernissage was great, very well attended and both Pierre-Yves Brest’s photographs and my projection were well received.
Have thought long and hard about the problems encounterd this last week and feel that there were misconceptions on both sides. In situations like this I perhaps have to be more sensitive to other peoples expectations and pay more attention to small details. For all that it has been an exciting and challanging project and one that has been a real pleasure to be part of.
