Print this off at A4, then cut and fold according to these instructions:

1) Print out this flyer and cut down to an even size
2) Fold along all of the dotted lines so they become creases and smooth paper back out
3) Fold in half length ways and cut between the two central dots, you should have a cut in the middle of the paper
4) Hold by the edges and collapse into a booklet so that the pages are in order
5) Read about Project 42, enjoy!

Birmingham-based illustrator James Bourne is the first of seven artists to take over Unit 4 on Far Gosford Street in Coventry, part of the future FarGo Creative Village, for a month.

His plan is to build a big paper city – a prospective new Coventry. James will be opening the space for you to inspect what he’s been doing on August 30th.

Come & see what happens at 2pm tomorrow…

The radios have been adopted

Laura’s stack of letters and of first memories of mac is growing by the minute. The latter includes the family who fulfil John English’s original vision of the place: they met there as young people involved in the activities, continued to do stuff at mac, formed their own theatre company and now their kids are also regular visitors to/users of mac. Derek’s sound bank for the Midland Radio Orchestra is growing – people have been tuning his stack of old radios, and grouping them into ‘orchestral families’, and he’s been making audio recordings of the contents of visitors’ sheds to use in the sound piece. The last photo is of the performance group’s work and features Saranjit as John English. If you’d like to see what everyone’s been up to, there are two more days to visit the ongoing residencies, or at 2pm on Friday there’ll be a public sharing of the week’s work – click here for more details.

End of Day 2. Another busy day with lots of visitors to the two sheds containing artists in residence, and plenty of performance and singing work going on in the other two sheds. Also starting to think about how we’ll share what we’ve done come Friday…
