So it’s day 1 of INbuilt’s (that’s us) Art’s in Queen’s Square project in West Bromwich, and I reflect on it as being a busy but fairly smooth outcome. Finding the loading bay caused the first confusion of the day. However we located it, and had the unique experience of seeing the ‘secret passage-ways’ of shop spaces from the back entrances. Although as Queen’s Square shopping centre is very quiet of late; with a number of shop unit closures before the tesco Regeneration shake-up, it all felt a bit eerie. No delivery cages etc. Although by the time we moved all the materials into the shop space we realised that the shop space already had quite a presence. We heard many comments as we were setting up the shiny metallic coat of arms on the side wall of our shop space (that which was at one time Claire’s Accessories according to the secret delivery entrance). The public seemed keen to find out what all the drilling and blue-tack was about. Fingers crossed they ventured close enought to the shop window to read the blackboard message; ‘INbuilt Free Workshops Starting Tuesday 1pm. Come Along!’ That;s tomorrow, and we hope they/you do!
