JP: I think it’s interesting that there’s kind of like an endless array of images. Like you could be in this space, you could come in repeatedly and feel like you’d never seen the end of it, in a sense. You get an idea that it’s just this gigantic thing that you’ve stepped into a portion of. That it’s only a fragment of whatever this project is, that you see in the space.

AK: And also you’re not only seeing the end product of getting dressed up and getting made-up and stuff. It’s lots of imagery of the process of getting there as well. As well as other people extraneously walking in when they’re doing stuff, like just some of us are in there, other people involved in the show. Or visitors.

SG: It’s inclusive. Continue Reading »

LI: Can we talk about how it feels to be in here?

NI: Can I say something?

LK: Of course!

NI: I am from Tokyo, Japan. So maybe I have a pretty different opinion. So first of all, I came here - anyway, I really love her work. I’m very interested in the city and the different layers. So I just feel firstly that she has been watching the city from a completely different angle. And she is expressing atmospheres of different layers. That’s just my first opinion… Continue Reading »

LI: Lisa I feel like there’s issues that are kind of bursting to be discussed (laughter) and it’s almost like it seems insane to not include Josie and Anne in that process, because of their key role. Being both the perpetrators and the audience of their own work.

LK: Yep, yep. That it doesn’t suit to keep them shut out?

LI: Yeah it seems like we’re artificially limiting ourselves. Do you feel that?

AK: I’m interested in how people are starting to ask us questions, because that’s what I wanted to hear about. Where are the gaps in what we’re communicating, so that it’s clear without us having to be there to speak. So, I’m a bit concerned that if we get allowed to speak that we’ll be justifying how we did it, or defending. Which is what feedback’s supposed to be on the other side of.

KW: Maybe that’s what we can be aware of… Continue Reading »

OBSERVATIONAL DESCRIPTION:

“Ok, I’ll try…

So we’re sitting in a space that’s, you can tell it’s an old building. There are quite a lot of white walls. It’s Artspace. It’s got an industrial, a slightly old-worldy, industrial feel to it. The space is quite open, with not a lot of walls between sections of the gallery. Continue Reading »

SM: Deathly silence.

LI: So we’re recording and we’re up & running. So I’m going to ask you, Lisa, if you can explain how you understand the feedback model. I don’t know if we should break it up into talking about what CLUBS does, or what we do and then going back to what CLUBS does. Whatever you think is the most natural way of getting started.

LK: Getting an overview.

LI: Yeah…
