Open Space

Open Space is a series of meetings and research visits over eighteen months initially between artist Caroline Wright and national curator Ben Borthwick and latterly with curator Naomi Siderfin.The meetings will be recorded through this reflective blog and will document the making of a new body of work by Caroline Wright. A regional event will conclude the project in 2011

The Event





Here are some images taken at the Open Space event this week. They show Naomi and I hard at work and my collection of objects queueing up to be gilded in front of the impressively large blackboard where thoughts and key words were recorded during the day.

More to follow - this is a taster to whet the appetite...

open space event approaches


So here is the flyer for the event at firstsite - the beautiful golden roofed new gallery space in Colchester.
Having discovered our mutual interest in gilding, Naomi and I will gild words and objects whilst conducting an ongoing conversation about the mentoring process. We are hoping the public will drop in and contribute to the discussions

Following my aim to combine image and text, this is the first result.

Not quite what I wanted yet, but the challenge here (as Naomi has identified) is not to be illustrative, to ensure the two elements are inextricably bound together without description of the other and yet being descriptive in totality.

The press copy is agreed for our event in March at firstsite. We will be gilding conversations.
