Post-INTERЯOGATIVE journey (inteR)reflections ...

AGENT TAYLOR and AGENT MARSDEN: Well, its been two days since we undertook our mission as Agents as part of the INTERЯOGATION:COLLABORATION project. Both our INTERЯOGATION STATION and our textual intervention with the public and the installation of our findings have inspired the beginning of an (inteR)reflective process where we hope to use our experience to trigger other projects in the public realm and together as Taylor Marsden Productions!

We found the day a really positive experience, particularly undertaking a day project with the pressure and intuitiveness that came with it. We had prepared our resources and had a plan of what we wanted to do; however our (inteR)experiences on the day and (inteR)action with the public in the site specific Gallery Square space was what shaped our dissemination and the final installation of our findings. We also enjoyed collablorating with the other Agents and (inteR)linking our findings in the INTERЯOGATION room to develop a combined approach of dissemination.

agent orange: the post mission debrief and evaluation setting is underway fuelled by cake and tea.

agents marsden and taylor report a great, but largely negative response, in terms of feelings. to their inter project. members of the public were invited to record their feelings about walsall on provided white boards, largely in a single word. polaroids were taken of the process and people were encouraged to send their thoughts in by post. agents charnley and holdcroft overcame the wind problems wrecking their paper barrier and found that the struggle making that barrier was significant in itself. they created a submissive breakthrough space in the middle of the broken barrier incorporating an "eruption" themed piece of performance to symbolise escape etc. both agents who hadn't previously worked together to a great extent, reported positive feelings about their working relationship. agents shipley and strain hadn't previously worked together but were amazed at how quickly a seemingly fully formed idea came to them. they collected, collated and sculpted debris and rubbish found in the canal behind the gallery. agent strain enjoyed working in a different way to her norm and concentrated on her collaboration with a new partner rather than a collaboration with the public.

Mid-interrogation (inter)reflection

Agent Taylor and Agent Marsden: are back in the interrogation room to start to reflect, refract and reinterrogate. Pausing to look at the information collected, the agents will consider the (inter)disseminate of their findings.

agent orange: so the collaborations are under way as agents charnley/holdcroft, marsden/taylor and shipley/strain set out to investigate the public areas surrounding the gallery. shipley and strain are concentrating on the waste area behind the gallery, whilst the other two partnerships will be in gallery square. i'll report back later withy findings and outcomes.

Agent Francis:
Agents currently planning their response and readying themselves for their missions in the public realm.

Interrogation Station

AGENT TAYLOR and AGENT MARSDEN: are working collaboratively and creating their Interrogation Station to work collaboratively with the public of Walsall. They will be working in the (Inter)gallery square space to create an (Inter)textial dialogue ...
