Work in Progress, Tuesday 30 August
Today I went to work out how to produce my work in the space I have in Invisible City. As I am using a projector, I have a space off the main hall. I’ve been experimenting with the projector in that space, with the cameras that I plan to connect to it, with drawing surfaces and also thinking about making some test drawings.
I’ve ventured into Rotterdam (on a day where i’ve felt a little clumsy due to leaving my mobile behind not being able to open the apartment door with the key, trying to board a metro with a train ticket and dropping the tube of rice paper that I bought from one art shop whilst leaving another.) I’ve bought inks, paper, fabric and a possibly uneccessary brush. But the fact that Rotterdam had 2 amazingly well stocked art shops (where you can buy hunks of marble and potters wheels next to the pencils canvases and paints) meant that I gave into my weakness for spending money in anything resembling a stationers.
I’ve since made some test marks on each of the types of paper that I bought and considered ways of setting my intervention up. I’m mulling over it this evening and will have a meeting with Liat and Ans from the Shadowing Cities production team in the morning.
