Things have been quite recently on the blog due to fervid
activity on other outputs of the project, but today as I finished the indexing
on box one hundred and three out of one hundred and three it felt like the
right moment to reflect on some of the projects milestones and developments as
we approach its halfway point in September.
What We Have Done, WhatWe are About to Do, opened just two weeks ago to a busy and curious crowd
many of whom have been able to identify characters and events in the
archive footage currently on display, helping us build on our research and
understanding of the Third Eye Centre’s history. While we make plans for a series of workshop
days on various aspects of the archive as it relates to contemporary art to
follow the exhibition, the artists occupying the Project Gallery are continuing
to develop and add to their works in the space and we’re looking forward to
some contributions to the blog from some of them soon.
September and October will bring a new team of helpful hands to assist the indexing of the George and Cordelia Oliver
Collection at the Glasgow School of Art as well as the administrative, audio
and visual archive material produced from 1990 onwards when the Third Eye
Centre became the Centre for Contemporary Arts.
Much has been done, but there is still much more to do.
