Hi Dave & all, Well, we are currently recovering after spending a lot of energy getting it all ready, for yesterday's opening.
We had over 300 visitors to the Invisble Forces show opening (between 2-5pm) although it may be more - we were not able to leave until 6.30pm due to people still arriving, as well as other who did not want to leave. We had to push everyone out & went to the pub & had great chats over wine, beer, guiness etc :-) It really helps that we are based in the middle of the park now, because everyday people who may not normally visit galleries pop in also. Physically, we part of larger community environment, socially & culturally - which is great. With all the individuals & groups, networks on-line & the dynamics of being where we are now - connections with others is a natural, positive situation. Especially in respect of the context of the show & how people are tryiing to deal with the evils of neo-liberalism. So, to those in the UK or visiting, come and say hello...
