I’m seeing Norwegians everywhere now….had a meeting with Kaya Herstad yesterday to discuss the Threshold festival (an arts and music event at Novas CUC 11 – 13 February )http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/event.php?eid=124976877557141
Looked at the space she has given us and had a chat about Norway. Got some tips off her about the weather etc. and some useful contact names, which I’ll chase up next week.
It’s going to be really hard going – fitting in this festival in between the exhibition at Metal and the trip to Norway. I personally felt though that it would be a good introduction to the ‘new’ group we’ve set up and it will give us a chance to start work on the ‘cultural crossover’ ideas we may take to Norway. As with all of the other plans we have for the future though, this one can now be filed away to look at again in a couple of weeks. Venue has been booked… box ticked.
I had a back up plan for Metal in case the collaboration didn’t work out. ( me of little faith) ..and I’m waiting for the end product of that to come in. I’d asked many other people to take part in the project, so I posted a deadline for Monday to get it boxed off . Thank God for face book – what would we do without it? Even though I’d started the project as part of my own art practise, it now ties in really well with my Metal collaborator and his work. In theory that is – we still need to see what it looks like together!
God I’m tired. I need to do so much work and tie up a pile of loose ends…but I really should spend at least an hour getting the house straight…
