March 11, 2007 - 8:15pm this Wednesday, March 14 at 6:15 PM we will interview the artist, David Fichter. there are some backgrounds in the studio. if anyone has a chance to check them out we should try to get an idea of how to set up the studio for David. I forwarded him the questions that we have already brainstormed. How would you characterize the community in Central Square at the time you started this project? What problems did you see? How did you want to help this community thru this mural? (What effects did you hope the mural would have on the community?) What community effects have you seen? Do you think that your piece was successful? What was the experience like working with 50 volunteers? anything else to add. after the studio shoot we can walk over to harvest and do that shoot. read more
