Thursday's session was really productive. Although
Fay was ill and Sharon has left our group, I found that Elena, Louisa and I managed
to get a lot of the groundwork done so that we know where we are in our project
so far and how we need to progress.
At the beginning of the group meeting, we decided
to film ourselves creating a mind map of our project, our ideas so far and how
we want to progress and develop it and also our discussion along the way. We
had many discussions on the actual piece that we have decided to build. Louisa
and I liked the idea of having a second piece that would be created out of the
pieces that collected from the public after we discussed making the paper that
the public could draw on in the shape of jigsaw pieces. However, Elena made a
very good point about the fact that the second piece would be a little
pointless because it would effectively just be saying the same thing. On
reflection, I completely agree. I think that we were getting to carried away
with the actual piece instead of all the other important things such as
researching funding and construction etc.
After we had finished our mind map we then went to
talk to James and Adam, who had come from the Museum to see how we were getting
along and offer us help. During our talk, I learnt a lot about Art as a
business and how money orientated it could become. I was surprised how naive I
was about it all.
Here are some of the notes I took during our talk to James and Adam:
