First things first, we gathered in the reading room to meet the Archivist of the Arnolfini - Julian Warren - who told us many interesting things, including all about the exhibit CRACKERS being displayed in the reading room, which was a piece of performance art involving a bed of lettuce (literally!).
Then we got up on our feet and went to look at Neil Cummings Arnolfini/Social History/Art History time line, that climbs up the stairwell, which was a nice visual to everything Julian was telling us about the Arnolfini's history and how it was created and things. Felt like quite the Arnolfini buff afterwards!
The importance of learning about all the history and stuff is because of our new big exciting project we have been assigned! To celebrate 50 years of the arnolfini we have been asked to make a video/animation with the legendary video artist Joff! (I don't know his full name) So it's all very exciting at the moment! And next week we will be meeting the woman who first set up the Arnolfini plus an artist who was in the very first exhibition!
So then we headed back to the light studio where we properly met Joff (who you can see in a checkered shirt in the above pictures) and he told us all about what he does and things! He kept saying he wasn't very artistic but when we saw some of his videos, they were amazing, so i disagree! Really looking forward to attempting to make our own video!
Anyway, I cant think of anything more to say, so goodbyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)
