7. 50 words on what you do. (as individual)

I co-founded the Cube Cinema in Bristol, England and
my practice as an artist largely focuses around this
facility and its creative network. I am interested in
collective projects which gain autonomy by their own
design as something beyond the individual yet a sum
expression of it.

Questions 10-14 

D. The activity.
15. Name the activity.
Research and Development for Canalab.

16. Which actvities does it involve?
Combined Arts, Visual Arts, Music.

17. 50 Word description of actvity requiring support.

Canalab is a research stage project with the aim of
building a waterborne vessel (canal boat) capable of navigating
the Inland Waterways of Britain with a production/exhibition/convalescence
facility on board.
                                                                                
This research aims to produce a full report and detailed feasibility
study with the aim of going to a second round application for capital
grant to build, run and realise the project.

The second stage application would involve application to Heritage Lottery
Funding as well as Arts Council South West and possibly Touring as the 
project would move between regions.

At this stage a 'back of envelope' figure for the total build/fit/run 
and programme would be in the region of £200.000

A Project Planning grant is being sought from HLF to match 
this application.




                                                                                
18. Activity start and end dates.
Started early 2005. End approx spring 2006.

19. Where will this activity take place?
Bristol, Birmingham, London, perhaps the whole of the
Inland Waterways network.

20. How many people (estimated) will benefit from the activity.
The research will be conducted by myself but I estimate that
hundreds of people would benefit from Canalab.

21. What are their age ranges.
All ages.

22. Is project aimed at any of the following. etc
NO

23. Any planned focus group ie young offenders.
Possibly young people out of school and travelling/nomadic communities.

24. Details of expected results.
This phase of activity 'works up' the whole idea into a form accessible 
and concrete enough to go into the hands of a constituted group and full 
funding/production. The most suitable form of organisation for the project 
will form part of this research. It is ideally hoped that an interesting 
exciting realisable and workable long-term project will emerge.


E. Other Information.

25. Discussed project with anyone.
Peter Stiles.

26. Local authority staff.
Not as yet.

27. Received ACE funding before.

A Project Planning Grant is being sought from the Heritage 
Lottery Fund. This will aim at making the ACE money go further
by providing a filler for the effective 'work in kind' half
of this work. Ideally the amount will be the same as above.


NB
'day research' involves phone & email correspondence; internet
library and resource examination and reporting, reading and writing
documentation and compiling.

'design and planning' involves drawing, sketching, testing proposals
model or mock-up building, making computer based designs/drawings,  

'travel' involves movement by car, train or public transport to near 
or distant locations to conduct meetings, talks, visits, and any 
activity coming under the above two categories.
