Princess St Meeting 19/11/09

The meeting with Paul McCann was attended by Ady (thanks for getting hold of the projector) Matthew, Ste, Ireena & Katy.

  • We showed Paul the temporary work and tried out the position of the projector. There is a lowered ceiling under the mezzanine balcony that can act as a shelf for the projector which would be connected to a laptop which would go on Norman's desk. A mirror would need to be angled in front of the lens and masked to stope any light overspill.

  • Paul also showed us the interior spaces that could be used for lighting / projection from the inside onto the windows on the corner of the building (to the right of the entrance as you look at the building from the outside). He is happy for anyone to go into these spaces and work experimentally while the building is open.
[The ground floor has no power yet; First floor is occupied; Second and third floors are empty with power.]

  • He can also open up for us on a Saturday if necessary. We discussed Saturday 28th as an installation date.
  • The question of additional funding was raised again and Paul suggested we should liaise with Marcus Lord on this.
  • The building was used this week as a venue for a Man Met event and has previously been used for showing degree show work.
  • Florin later showed us a more elaborate version of the carousel idea that he has been working on.

Jobs To Do:
  • Cable required to run from projector / laptop for long term use; by Sat 28th (or earlier) Ady
  • Mirror / arm attachment; by 28th Katy
  • Laptop for long term use; by 28th Ste
  • Arrange Meeting with Marcus asap Katy
  • Floor plans / measurments; Andrea has these apparently asap Matthew
  • Put all work into new carousel by Thurs 26th Florin
  • check if Florin has got your work asap everyone

Long Term
Everyone to be working in their sub-group on the idea for the space they have identified, progress to be reviewed Thursday 3rd Dec? Possibility of Sid / Katy work to be installed first with help from others for the installation. Temporary/experimental work in the window spaces can be installed at any time.
