So, yes we start, i feel really happy with where we are at and believe that the reason the shop artworks have been apparently easy to arrange is because its the right thing to do for us, them and the site. It is work that doesn't compromise aesthetically or ethically. I think steve summed it up the other day when he said it explores relational working through practice rather than with practice. Is that what you said?
I think if we could also make pieces for the new library and the Colley WMC, it connects the spaces and people. I think the work offers artists, studio holders and business at the new building a good link with the local businesses. I reckon all the shop commissions should be up for the opening - theres no reason why not.
More time on site, making and giving away work is whats next.
Like the greasy spoon project, maybe we could create a list of public works across all venues for people if interested to visit? An art tour as it were, it could include the exhibition in town.
Have been thinking about the event and the commission open call - could we start to put together what that request looks like. eg - Artists wanted to created multiples that will be given out across Parson Cross on July 15th. Small/medium/large/emphemeral/permanent souvenirs needed that can be distributed in a hawker type way. The objects can be made prior to event or on site during the day. ........
Anyways its just a start.
Happy i am, enjoying dual site artwork
The value of any artwork done on Parson Cross has been seriously undermined by the book written by Ania Bas with it's disgusting verse 'Rotting Heads on Pkarson Cross'. A piece of work that went through the hands of many so-called responsible adults before going into print and on the internet. In any case, what a waste of public money was the shop commission? Some of the shutter work has been removed, designs no longer relevant because shops have changed hands. I believe this project was more about promoting the artists than improving the area which has been left under a very dark cloud since Yorkshire Artspace arrived here!
