Everyday Cog

Michael is at the OneDayer music conference. The first panel, chaired by Julia Payne (The Hub) was a lively debate between Chris Bryant (Shadow SoS for Culture, Media and Sport), Ed Vaizey (Minister for Culture and Digital Economy), Vick Bain (British Academy of Songwriters, Composers and Arrangers) and a relaxed-looking Peter Bazalgette (Chair of Arts Council England).

Sam has been at an event connecting choreography and robotics – part of a research collaboration between Shobana Jeyasingh, Culture at King’s College London and The Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL.

Jenny’s been to the Royal Artillery Barrack Woolwich to see ‘The Four Fridas’ as part of Greenwich + Docklands International Festival.

Ross is all tied up after taking delivery of a 25m extension cable… he’s excited even if no one else is.

We’re at House of Ferment in Borough Market, a pop-up shop that is the launch event of the Fed Up season from Science Gallery London. Here’s the museum’s Director, Dr Daniel Glaser making his opening address.

We celebrated Wednesday in the office with some very grown-up looking cake.

Ross has been at the V&A this evening for the Crafts Council Summer Party. Drinks, Canapés, and a chance to see ‘What is Luxury’ the Crafts Council and V&A partnership exhibition.

Michael’s at a secret session where a panel of girls are voting for who should win the inaugural With and for Girls awards. They are under a lot of pressure, with people photographing their every move, and typing out their words as they speak. Michael was there because we’re also getting their input on the branding for the awards, launching later in the year.

Sam has been watching Slung Low and a cast of 150 undertake an epic contemporary retelling of Camelot at the Crucible Theatre and on the streets of Sheffield.

“…Her future’s so bright she’s gotta wear shades…”
Somebody forgot her glasses and is wearing her prescription sunglasses to see her screen.

Ross is testing some type sizes for signage, under deliberately challenging lighting conditions.

Peter from the Museum of the Order of St John has popped in. Becca is giving him a sneak peek of their new website. Ross is lurking behind.

Sam has been making digital plans with Bryony from Turner Contemporary (as well as plans to visit Grayson Perry’s Provincial Punk exhibition).

We’ve all been using our new Art on the Underground to get to work. Thanks Polly!

Michael and Becca are at the Art on the Underground Summer Party.

Sam is with 650 other delegates at the Arts Marketing Association Conference in Birmingham. It looks like it is being fuelled by Apple products and coffee.

It’s National Hot Dog Day! (Yes, seriously.) so we took the opportunity to tuck into some ‘dawgs’ at lunchtime.

The team from the Family Arts Campaign came in to use our meeting room, so Sam popped in to talk about some of our new digital projects.

We have a new fancy printer! Jenny is taking it for a spin.

Artist Giles Round is here with Kiera Blakey and Polly Wright from the Art on the Underground team.

Cake and website training with the lovely team from the Museum of the Order of St John.

Kerri Griffiths, from King’s College London’s marketing team is here to brief Jenny on a new project.

Jenny is really getting into some sketches for a logo design.
