On Friday I travelled to Penzance to meet Rebecca Weeks at the Exchange Gallery, when I got there she introduced me to Andy Whall who I had previously emailed asking if I could meet him. Later I interviewed Rebecca alone in the education room which I've recorded in the hope that I will be able to use the recordings for a sound piece eventually. I decided not to interview her like a journalist and instead carried the conversation through prompting and the odd statement/suggestion, rather than direct questions which I thought would sound unfriendly and potentially make her feel uncomfortable especially as I was after personal information. It was interesting hearing her talk about her work and her relationship with her partner and collaborator, Ian Whitford, who I am hoping to be speaking to soon as well as Andy Whall which I am really looking forward to. Rebecca gave me quite a few good leads which is really useful; I will be following these up this week.
