Hopes for the New U1

Hello to all of you associated with U1 Studios and welcome to the official blog. This blog will be a point of reference for both veterans and newcomers to gain vital information about what's going on. Always feel free to leave feedback, as U1 is an artist lead community, the artists being us of course!

The most important piece of news this week is the outdoor event in the Jigsaw Garden (Between Drake Circus and the Roland Levinsky Building) on Saturday the 14th starting at 2pm, just 5 days to go!

Feel free to bring whatever art materials you like to the event, whether it be a sketchbook, an easel and paints, or even a solid block of marble and a chisel, whatever you like. Also bring food and drink. We can use it as an opportunity to get together and see what work everyone is currently producing and a chance for everyone to communicate in a stimulating environment. Then at 4pm there will be an unplugged fluxus style experimental noise orchestra. If you wish to participate, please bring whatever you wish to use as an 'instrument', kazoos, drums, bin lids, lawn mowers, so long as it is wireless it is allowed.We are to stand unified, and improvise a collective generation of sound for exactly 20 minutes, made by whatever 'instruments' have been brought.

We also have an exhibition lined up from the 9th to the 11th of September in Batter Street at the Arts Centre. One month is a relatively short amount of time to arrange an exhibition from scratch, so we must all think critically about what work we are likely to have ready to exhibit at that time.

It is likely that we will have another meeting in Batter Street this week to make sure everything is prepared for Saturday, so everyone keep checking your emails.

Thats all the news for now, more will follow...
