The Way Forward is just round the corner!!!!

So earlier this week Viv and I spent another busy in the office. Our check list of things to do included collecting the information on the Open Call Monitoring forms and putting them into a spreadsheet. It is interesting to know who applies and how we might be able to target our promotional material to get more people to apply. We did things like research CRB checks and search for the cheapest printer and ink combo so if there are any suggestions, we would love to hear them! We also made the information sheets for the artists showing in The Way Forward exhibition. These sheets will be available at the exhibition as a way of giving the viewer a bit more background information. I personally enjoyed making these and found some about interesting pieces of work that the artists have produced in the past. One piece I particularly liked was the 'ghost-writer' by Neil Mendoza and Anthony Goh. It consists of a type-writer that writes on its own. It communicates with the viewer by writing things to them like 'Stop looking at me'.It is exciting to see all these artists come together in the one show, The Way Forward is just round the corner now!, 23rd May, a date for the diary! I am very much looking forward to seeing our commissioned piece, The 'Skywriter' by Institute for Boundary Interactions. This piece sees the local art group recreate old methods of encryption in a Skywriter situated on the roof of Nottingham Playhouse. I love this idea that the exhibition spreads through the playhouse and beyond the confinements of the building itself! Anyway, back to the listings, The Way Forward is going to be one not to miss!
