Yesterday i finally installed object for moving over #2 at Napton skate park. It was actually quite strange to do – as it was going into a skate park it sort of got lost as a piece of work, Also the fact i was skating it myself (i’ve been a skateboarder for over a decade) made me view the work in a sort of confused way, i think i need to go back and view the work without having my skateboard with me and when I make further objects for skateboarding i think i need to try and remove myself from skateboarding so i can evaluate more clearly.
However seeing other people skating on and around it made me quite pleased. This process of installation really made me wish I had of had chance for people to skate object for moving over #1 when it was installed at central library in birmingham.
Another exhibition opppertunity has also presented itself – an outdoor exhibition at Coombe Abbey near Coventry and i was asked to put togeather a proposal pack, something i had not done before – but found quite useful in actually reviewing what i had done before. I have proposed the installation of rope swings to intergrate the sites play and walking space with each other.
Also at Coombe Abbey there is a wood turning workshop coming up which i am going to take part in, i am quite worried its going to be quite an old fashioned craft based day – but i guess with a bit of research before hand i can approach it with a method which will help my pratice.
