On the day of the talk Adam (my apprentice) and I were treated to a great lunch where I proceeded to talk about the project and introduce my own art background and practice. I spoke about the Nine Trades Project as a whole and went in depth regarding my own side of the project. Since I was speaking to many generations of publicans and people within socially activated positions I feel that I received a good reception to the concepts behind the project and also what I am trying to achieve as an art experience. There were a fair bit of questions about how we were handling the responsibility of filming in public locations, the legacy of the project, and also what we are expecting the outcome to be like. All in all it was very pleasant and focused feedback session with people that know the industry inside out. I think there was a genuine interest in the nature of the project.
During the luncheon Peter Hutcheson presented me with a Maltmen tie. It was a great gesture. I think I'll probably sport this new accessory for the Final Gather.
