Dear interested readers,
Here is the penultimate blog for the Re-Place exhibition. The show is now up and open to the public from the 10th Sept -13th Sept. We made it into the Council’s Artsfest publicity materials, so that will hopefully attract a good audience for the show.
Joss Burke and Francis Viguera drove up from Bordeaux with a van load of work, and had a long drive and ferry trip to get to Birmingham Tuesday morning. Veronique Lamare arrived in Birmingham from France by plane on Tuesday morning aswell. We spent Tuesday afternnon and Wednesday setting up the exhibition which I have to say looks really good. I will post some images from the show in my final post when I reflect on the experience of organising an international show like this.
What has been interesting is to see what Francis and Veronique make of Birmingham as a City. They have never been to Brum before so showing them around is a refreshing experience. Francis is also doing a visual diary of the trip to Birmingham and of the exhibition using a digital camera. I hope to see the results when I next visit Bordeaux!
Christophe Masse has written a blog (in French) about re-place exhibition and is called le blog de Christophe Masse. I listed his website in an earlier post.
So, the private view is tonight! I will sign off now until the final post.
