The final part of the Analogue project comes to Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery on Saturday 7 November.
Members of the public can book time with the curators and administrators of the Analogue exhibition and take part in a series of walkthroughs of the Taking Timeexhibition.
These small, intimate groups will not be traditional guided tours; instead curator Helen Carnac, Craftspace Director Deirdre Figueiredo and Russell Martin will each, in keeping with the exhibition, take time with gallery visitors to talk together about the show, share insights and reactions to work.
To book a free tour with one of the guides, email info@craftspace.co.uk, or call 0121 608 6668.
Andy Horn, Exhibition’s Manager at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery and Helen Carnac, the exhibition’s curator will be doing a walk and talk of the exhibition at 1pm this Friday 30th October 2009.
Please come and join us.

I hope that the unknown author of this piece of writing made on Amy Houghton’s typewriter installation does not object to me posting this. (If you do let me know and I will remove it at once) but I felt so moved by your response, your frankness about something so personal and touched by the evocations of pins lurking in the carpet… and just that your thoughts relate so much to what we and the artists have been thinking about and have been hoping would come through in the exhibition. Thank you.
Neil Brownsword does a final hands on adjustment to his installation at the exhibition on Friday while a Wedgwood worker hand makes in the background in Neil’s film of process taking place at the Wedgwood factory all observed by another maker and exhibitor David Gates, who took the photo.
the catalogue is available now and can be purchased for just £8

After almost two weeks in Birmingham the installation is almost there….below Sue Lawty’s piece Calculus and David Gates’ Threads
We are installing the exhibition at the moment which I must admit would take a whole other piece of text to write about in terms of slowness and time, but perhaps suffice to say it is incredibly slow.
Yesterday Shane Waltener and Cheryl McChesney Jones came in to install the beginnings of their piece. They will further this piece during a dance performance at the private view and then the public will be encouraged to add their own contribution through adding a stitch or knot.
You can hear Shane talking about travelling and making on Radio 4’s Excess Baggage today.
I am off to Birmingham in the morning to help with installation. I can’t believe just how timely this exhibition is. Newsnight are now talking about making and make do and mending. Just a reminder of the makers that have contributed so generously to the exhibition. Will post more very soon and show some of the wonderful work that will be in the exhibition. In the meantime this is our book cover.
