P2090148
Wednesday involved 14 hours of screwing masonry eyelets and rawl plugs into the underside of the arch (causing stiffness, brick-dust blindness and the loss of the sensation of taste. Possible emphysema.) The eyelets are in three straight lines along the middle of the ceiling, corresponding to whether the component to be suspended required one or two eyelets to hold it level. It involved lots of compensation for the arc, and marking out lines with wire to keep tings straight. And a hammer-action power drill. I am now cured of my irrational fear of power tools. And indebted to the help I recieved with the sheer physical labour.
Thursday has involved a lot of fishing wire and steady progress, as well as planning for the use of the space tomorrow, the terrifying realisation that tomorrow is Friday, i.e. opening night, and the final realisation that my plan to edit the duration of every frame of my animation to fit the cubic voume of the corresponding piano component was overambitious for the one week's timeslot. So it will be there in more basic form tomorrow, projected onto the side wall of the front of the gallery.
I managed to hang all the hangable parts from the ceiling hooks tonight before leaving, so tomorrow will be both computer based (finishing animation, burning dvd)and arranging of the rest of the things in the gallery (list of instructions, smaller unhangable piano parts, dvd player, amp and speakers etc.) And the small matter of a college assesment worht 25% of my degree classification, apparently. The fun never stops.
I feel that at least my aim for the space is achievable, just, in the time I have left. And hell or high water will not keep me there past 5pm tomorrow. Every artist should shower before a private view!
