An exciting day with the first batches of artists arriving and installing for the festival. Pictured Liz Collini constructing something which can only be described as beautiful. Catronia Glover has also started work at the Met Arts Centre and Carolyn Thompson presented her commissioned sound work "Progress". I am hoping to blog events as they happen but things are already intense so I can't guarantee anything. Tomorrow Ron Silliman, Geof Huth (and Nancy), Tom Konyves and Patrick Fabian Pannetta fly in.
