Is this what they call a Dialogue

On the way back from town (London) I stopped over in Manchester to record a discussion or rather a response to a series of questions about public art. I did have the worst hang over and was suffering from acute sleep deprivation – not because I had partied so hard – I don't do that - but because hotels in London clearly do not consider themselves as places people might want to sleep in – noisy – err yes. It does slightly beg the question what do these buildings thing they are offering?

Back to public art, the discussion was with the Freee Collective, Dave Beech (who has great hair) Mel Jordan and Andy Hewitt. My reading through of the questions had left me thinking who the fuck cares – I mean you’ve got to be in academia to really give all this ‘is it public, realm, sphere, art, government’ shit any time. I ve attached the list of questions and my jaundiced notes (in italics) if you want to see what was to be answered and what I thought.
