Sometimes... (art collective I work with) have begun our residency at Manchester's greenroom, leading towards our exhibition at that goes up on the 6th March. Following on from our MEGA £500 giveaway for 'Wouldn't it be nice...' in 2007, we are spending this year's £500 budget we are paying participants £6 p/h. Our brief was to develop an exhibition with show with a number of Manchesterfolk, exploring most beloved places, so phil and I will be walking, cycling, bus-ing and train-ing around, strolling and yomping and dashing and traipsing along with 22 of Manchester's finest citizens. Yesterday we had a marathon meet&greet with participants and we timetabled what looks to be a very busy week. So far we have scheduled visits / journeys to churches, homes, inland waterways, steam train lines, bus routes, parks, disused buildings, gig venues, cafes, and popular attractions.

Big thankyous to the very very helpful Aowyn Sandeson, current head of marketing at greenroom, who has worked with particular efficiency to help get this project off the ground.
