Drove straight from Cardiff at 4, arrived in Birmingham at 6:15.
Went to another talk at Eastside projects. A talk by an artist named Dan who explained his selection of books for the Eastside Projects library. Very well manicured hands, we all noticed, projected onto a large wall flicking through books on SAS survival, Mushrooms and how to make living structures....
Food in The Crown. Fish and Chips. Proper.
Back to The Lombard Method. Jo and Sarah were there, we discussed the plans for Saturday and realised that there weren't really many at this point.
We were asked if we needed to take anything away from the space if it is not to be seen as an exhibition.
The key point of this whole residency is for BRG to work together in a space. It seems to me that the processes involved in making Artworks are as much about taking away as they are about adding. Editing is important and especially in a group such as ours.
The plan over the next few days is to add AND remove, all the while keeping in mind that we are working towards an evening of discussion and not private view..... I think.
Time to just spend time. Hard work starts tomorrow.
