Another canalside meeting
Perhaps the meeting on the towpath today will be the last! I had hoped that today we would achieve a consensus as to where the ‘artwork’ (see my previous posts) would be positioned and what form it would take. Sadly, there were as many different opinions as persons present so I’m not sure how this will all turn out!
Perhaps I’m a cynic but I got the distinct impression that this belated consultation exercise is actually a bit of flannel. We discovered that the three ’selected’ schools had already had their workshop and had already produced over a hundred tiles to be used in the artwork. Whilst funding had now been obtained to arrange a further workshop for the schools previously left out, the artist let it be known that he already had enough tiles to do the job!
And as to the shape of the artwork itself, the artist appeared to be adamant that he was going to create a seat - despite the fact that the only point most people present were agreed upon was that we definately did not want a seat.
Oh well, perhaps I’m just in a grumpy mood today!
have your say
