Two days have passed since I last blogged – and in regarding an event that only lasts 3 days, that’s probably not enough.
It has however been a really good 2 days and I think I want to record more information through this blog than I should try to squeeze into one post. So I will break it down into sections (more for my own benefit and reflection than for yours) and then i’ll revisit the sections over the next few days and also when I get home.
Things I want to record here:
-On making instructions – overlaps between dance and performance art/interventions
-How each performance went and the results of that
– Ideas about process and product especially concerning temporary happenings and how I deal with that in my work. Including my concerns about how others see my output.
– Information about other artists works and how they have turned out for the public event.
– Conversations i’ve had with other artists about ‘what their job is’ – which reminds me of Emily Speed’s interviews with artists she met during her residency in Linz.
– about the space that we are working in, and how the shadowing cities team have brought it together – all the added extras that make this an event rather than a collection of artworks
Briefly though, I’ve made 2 drawings, both using projection, live feed and audience interaction. I’m happy with the process, and the results. I’ve met and spoken to a wide range of people (dancers, performers, artists, film makers, choreographers…) and feel that being out here for a week, concentrating on what I do, discussing it with others has consolidated some of my ideas about my work. I have ideas that I want to follow up on when I get home; drawings I want to make.
Tomorrow (Sunday 4th) is the final open day of the event. I plan to make a 3rd drawing and I am currently mulling over whether or not to include street furniture as a static point in the drawing – I think I have decided that I will, I just need to work out what to use to draw onto my third panel which is white cotton.
I’ve also been invited to take part in a ’round table’ conversation about Invisible City, so i’m looking forward to that. – that’s another post I’ll have to write!
