Welcome to the first post in the Signpost Project blog. It's by no means the first thing to happen with the project. Damien and I have been devising a longer term strategy for our work since the AWSoM project in 2007 and this is just the next stage in a long process in which we are exploring the different, and indeed sometimes opposite, ways in which we experience the world. Our focus in concentrated mainly around sound and location, and how we interpret these things differently as individuals, which mirrors our greatly different backgrounds, life experiences and education.

To help and assist with our work we have been receiving mentoring from ArtsAdmin producer Mark Godber, talking with Jim Prevett at [space] and have also received support from Metal, Shape and Emergency Exit Arts.

Earlier in the year we put together a proposal for the next phase of work, 'Signpost', and applied to Arts Council England for a small grant, which we're pleased to announce has been approved. So we are now working on the project, with the aim of completing it for exhibition at the Village Green event run by Metal in Chalkwell Park, Southend, Essex on 25th September.
