the project has taken a couple of turns from external influence that i would not have anticipated. not even in my analysing of the risks of the project could i ever have anticipated what happened. i’m not able to talk about them yet as i am committed to making the project work, and each shuv i’ve received has resulted in my resolve to keep going with the project, even though each shuv left me in a position i wouldn’t have not expected to be in, a bit like neo in matrix reloaded when he opens a door and finds himself in the mountains.
the one thing that remains a constant for me is the process of making of the work. i had a good session yesterday tidying and adding new features for me that make setting the snee snaw up more enjoyable. i have found via my research that the size of see saw affects the musical nature of the response. surprisingly the situation as done a 180 degree turnabout in terms of which ones i thought would make a more fun snee snaw.
the next outing of the snee snaw is this sunday in belper.
i am aware of things what i’m learning. for now these remain close to myself and the project report.
i am also aware of ‘taste’. in a project running within my collaborative practice there have been moments that taste has been the curatorial common land. i’m wondering if taste plays more of a part in the public sphere than i previously was aware of. for example in handing out the posters for this coming sunday’s performance i am seeing a duel strand of response. the inquisitive strand and the strand for which i don’t yet have a name. the second strand is summed up by the observation that if i don’t see the poster go up there and then, then it does not go up. maybe it’s a ‘taste’ thing. the inquisitive strand is exciting as it demonstrates an individual’s open ness ness to possibility. the response is summed up by, “i don’t really know what this is, however i get from the poster what it is, so i’m just going to have to be there to find out and experience it for myself.”
in my on-going interest in possible futures, the inquisitive strand is where i want to work to be.
