Tomorrow I'm heading to Penzance to speak to Rebecca Weeks, the first of my interviews with artists. It's interesting, I decided I wanted to try and work with artists working now in the hope that I will develop a performance based on their current lives as I have done in the past, (looking at Ana Mendieta and Lee Krasner) but I hadn’t realised until recently how strange this is. It seems almost illegal, even though I have told them what I am up to; I'm not sure how this will work but am very excited by the fact that I have voluntarily placed myself in the position of the voyeur and stalker without realising it. As a result I have begun to look at Sophie Calle and the relationship her work has with Oulipo - loosely translated means Workshop of Potential Literature. It is the use of constrained writing or writing under rules. I'm so excited about this project; my main worry is that I won't manage to get a space to perform...
