So, it’s been a busy and amazingly productive week. We’re still letting the dust settle on the work that we’ve done –  from sketches (drawings, sculptures and performances) to the pieces of work that have formed the more finished exhibition yesterday and today. We’re also still sifting through the mountains of documentation, which has been fantastic, but more time consuming than we’d expected. We’ve had a great team of documenters / assistants who’ve done a grand job, but we could’ve done with another full timer to edit and maintain the blog. It’s been a learning curve… As I say, we’ll continue sifting through documentation in the next couple of days, but unedited stuff’s going up on Flickr, we’ve the Twitter from yesterday’s performance (grand job Caleb Parkin!), and we’ll post more video and stuff up soon. In the meantime, here’s some photos from last night, after we installed the final ‘exhibition’ of the work that came out of the week.

Passers-by, Passers-in

Working seperately together their actions speak about mystery and silence. About generating intrigue.

Awareness of sounds, the sound of falling paint

relax

For me it became about quietly doing things, it became about hands, about passing bodies, footsteps, smudging

It became about the space, meditative, calm, capturing concentration, focussed behaviour, uncertainty, voyeur through the window, perspective and scale, perseverance and transformation.

We’ve just set up the site, and are in the process of planning activities for Transfigurations, it’s very exciting. We’ll be blogging photos, drawings, writing and more here during our week’s residency, so watch this space! If you’re able to make it  to the space in Bristol we’d love to see you, between 11am and 7pm Tuesday – Friday, and between 10pm and 6pm Saturday and Sunday. We’re also asking people to bring objects and / or materials for us to use as part of our investigation during the week. Further information can be found about this on the About page.
