Nat and I started properly at Lighthouse last week. We came straight into a big team meeting, where everyone in the organisation lays out what they’re up to and where various projects are headed. The Otolith Group show at Fabrica has just opened, and as well as that Lighthouse are coordinating a number of events around the Brighton Festival, including a show from Iain Forsyth and Jane Pollard, and Invisible Flock. Various props for the latter, including ship parts, navigation equipment and soon-to-be-augmented telescopes started arriving at Lighthouse yesterday and we’ve been staring at them enviously.
As we get to know the team and start looking for site-specific work we can do, Nat and I have started work on a small tool to help generally. One of the briefs for Happenstance was to help artists and art organisations communicate better what they do: the process of putting together work and exhibitions. We’re building something to make chronicling this easier and more public, and we’ll have something to show for it soon…
