Now in Germany:
small production residency in a small town in the countryside not too far from Mainz.. Made a second hay ball, filming next saturday..
Why on earth I am writing about this in telegram style when telegrams no longer exist I really can't tell you. Some time restrictions, an earlier overdose on caffein and general load of admin still to do all play their part.
I am in Mainz today making use of the internet connection at a bronze and aluminum foundry that I have some contact with (all in the readyiness for a future commission that will of course one day come and require me to cast a beautiful large something or other..)..
This afternoon I am schmoozing a gallery owner who I hope, hope, yes hope very much, will love my work and will invite me to show it..
To some distress I found out about an artist already represented by a gallery in Mainz who works with the same symbolic items as I do.
Well: Great minds…
I have just googled him, just now, it's not so bad. His ideas aren't any better than mine. Phew… A sigh of relief.
The calm here with which the project moves forward may be deceptive and I am tempted to forget the next projects for a while but I really have to stay on the ball with my communication and project developments of "New Media Gallery for Birds", the public intervention that I am planning with a Rapunzel reference, the sculptures that I want to have made and cast before december, the cards that I want to print for promotion and sale, the search for a gallery and for keys to door that I'd like to pop open asap….. etc etc..
But first I have a dungball to finish before my camera man arrives on thursday. We are filming on saturday and sunday.
And I have a lot of possible locations to consider, look through the photographs that I took yesterday and think through how the locations and scenes could be used, how cameras could be stationed to get 2 footages out of one distance covered ..
I am thinking out live onto the blog, perhaps I will also learn to edit by wrambles one of these days and delight you with precision, sense and purpose.
