Its been great speaking to a couple of people that Nine Trades of Dundee artist Ange Taggart has been connecting to through her project. Theresa Lynn from Dundee City Council has been working to engage the folks of Dundee with the arts for years. I have met her a couple of times at art exhibition openings - most recently at the Cooper Gallery show - Moving Images from The Attic Archive. ( http://www.exhibitions.dundee.ac.uk/programmes_current.html ). So its great to hear a bit more about what she does and know that Ange and Theresa's paths will cross over the next few months.
Also I had a very positive conversation with Amina Shah from the exceptional Central Library. The work that they do there is amazing, the librarians look after the people as well as the books, running innovative cultural activity workshops with groups from different parts of the community. Ange has already been introducing her TagTool work to the clients and staff and has an amigo called Alistair who has particularly interested in that side of things. Alistair and Ange will be heading off to Austria to get skilled up with the originators of the TagTool and do some networking with other TagTool users.
