INTERЯOGATION: WALSALL DAY ONE

We have taken up residence in the artist's studio at the New Art Gallery Walsall today. It was exciting. We arrived at 9.30 - and hung around til 10 when we could get access. The security and gallery staff were really friendly and asked if we were waiting for someone. I told them we were with Longhouse and one man said 'Oh are you going to be in disguise?' and I said yes, and the other man said 'Oh its the Interrogation Room.' Which I was pleased about. Everyone at the gallery has been expecting us, and they were all so helpful, it was brilliant.
Agent Greenwood, Brown, Stoker and I spent the day setting up the Interrogation Room, and trying to test equipment. Quite a few technical hitches, some of which are unresolved, fingers crossed for Wednesday.
We had a bit of an explore about, and have fully taken ownership of the space. It was good to be in today and test the live stream in the studio, and figure out just what is going to happen on Wednesday.
Lots of work to do tomorrow to get everything ready, but seriously can't wait for the artists to arrive and see how they respond.
