Meeting with Eastern Bloc and Moving Day










On Monday 30th April, we had a scheduled meeting with Eastern Bloc to discuss our plans further. This was following the e-mail they had sent with an unclear idea of what the after-effects of our installation would be. We met at 1pm in Eastern Bloc, showed the designs we had created for a sample at Hotspur and asked what they could do to help us. Suggesting the ideas of high tack tape, silicone or 'no-nails' paste, the manger was still keen for us to create a clearer layout to show to the owner for 'official' clearing. They were a bit concerned about us damaging the walls and obstructing their opening hours (as we are to use the doorways. After the meeting in tutorials back at Hotpsur, we came to the conclusion that tomorrow, after the move, we may need to consider second options as the boundaries for getting Eastern Bloc on side means that we need to compromise quite highly. 

On Tuesday morning, bright and early was the move to our new location in the northern quarter '20/22'. we loaded up our wheelbarrow with all our 100+ vinyls, heat gun and various other equipment and set for the long voyage to the northern quarter with the entire group! It was quite an odd thing to do on a Tuesday morning, but as our wheelbarrow was clearly one of the heaviest it created a great 'team-building' exercise for our group which lead to a good discussion over lunch and walk round for options before our afternoon tutorial! We found a lovely blue box, which looked like a passageway to an underground toilet, situated on TIB street, quite a busy area it was perfect! After tutorials I used my images to create a photoshop 'replica' of the idea to e-mail to Fabrizio, so with any luck this is our new destination!
