Today I have been out and about in Glasgow looking for a site for the Public Art Project. I mainly looked at three sites, the Concert Car Park, The Car Park connected to Buchanan Galleries and the Botanical Gardens.
The Botanical Gardens are very nice park area and also have some lovely greenhouses. Its a really nice area at summer, but at this time of year rainy and misty and very quiet. It makes you appreciate the heat inside, and the silence somehow makes me more aware of all of the smells from the plants.
This term is the best and hardest working term. A lot of work is to be produced in eight weeks, before the interim review in March. The review is not quite as serious as the regular assessment at the end of Term1, but it is the last formal feedback you get before Final Assessment, which in my case will be in mid-May already. I guess it seems like a long time to, but I feel that it is just around the corner.
Oh and in addition to walking about the city looking for sites I also did some window shopping :-) The sales are quite good, although many started before Christmas this year, there are still some good pieces left. I bought a sweater in one of my favourite stores on Byres Road.
Byres Road is in the West End of Glasgow, close to Glasgow University. There are quite a lot of pubs, cafes and shops and quite a few university students.
