The strangest feeling last night . i was socially completely incompatible with the crowd. Fighiting to keep my attention focused and to keep my smile from becoming a frozen contortion on my face. When i raised my voice, being mildly amusing, no-one heard the whisper. I was invisible.


DC is a project where i at the moment do not have a clue as to what i am trying to find out. Am i looking at the prosess of designing a cultural hist exhibition? Is it enough to try to work out how to do it well? A critique of the methods used in the museums normally? Designers are not seen as collegues, but as servants (jmfr Pickup). Am i trying to find out what is excellence in museum exhibitions? Am i trying to single out what is design? can that be done? Describe describe describe exhibitions. I do have a good grasp of language, maybe this is my forze? Am i working on one aspect of the exhibition, like how to put “people” in? personification of the histories.

Things are picking up. I have been invited to address post-grad students in Hull. I have an interview with the principal designer at British Museum on Monday. And as a last cap this Friday afternoon David Durling at Staffordshire University has invited me to present my project at a PhD seminar on February 7th in Staffordshire. (I feel as if I am a debutant being asked to one ball after the other!)

There are so many things evolving around me, I feel that I am only starting to make sense of it. Its more like it is all a thick warm fog sweeping around me, it makes me sleepy. It’s pretty, and sometimes I can make out forms through the mist, then I loose sight of them again and just go on in any direction. No. I don’t just go in any direction. I know the general direction i am heading; upwards, slightly to the left, through some thick heather. But the fog doesn’t allow me to make things out clearly.

Nå står jeg skikkelig fast. Jeg har to utstillinger jeg vil gjøre, Havlandet og Lwandle. Jeg vil se utstillinger forskjellige steder. Jeg vil finne ut om det er en måte å dømme god og dårlig design. hva skal til for å gi kriteriene for god design? kanskje jeg skal basere meg på det arbeidet de har gjort i AAM? Leser igjennom det idag. Også skrive prosjektbeskrivelse. Samtidig ha med noe om hvordan en jobber med to forskjellige utstillinger om egen og andres kultur og noe om hvordan jeg skal se på prossessen i de to forskjellige prosjektene.
