Companis has been commissioned by VIVID to make a new work for their forthcoming exhibition Ecstatic, to be launched on 13 May. The work “Ultraviolence Part I” will be a sensory assault where the visitors will be invited to consume a superficial edible landscape in VIVID’s space whilst swathed in intensely coloured light and fluorescence.The preparation for the event will take place on the day of Friday 13th between 11 and 6, and the event itself is scheduled 6-8pm. We are looking for volunteers to assist with the delivery of both aspects (preparation and event) so if you are interested to assist please email me letting me know your availability.As a volunteer you will be expected to assume a semi-performative role and engage directly with the audience – so an interest in performance would be good however there are also less obtrusive roles available. For more information contact companis.kaye@googlemail.com and to register your interest email sonyarussell@blueyonder.co.uk by Wednesday 11 May.For information, VIVID is based on Heath Mill Lane in Digbeth in Birmingham.Thanks in advance.We look forward to hearing from you

Dear Anna,
FROM DRA TO ATKINS GLOBAL 4TH MARCH:
I hope you are well.Your contact details have been passed onto me by Mark.I understand that S106 work is due to start on Bradford Street imminently, and you are the engineer responsible for this. Digbeth Residents Association (DRA) is very keen to ensure that this work is carried out BEFORE the time limit on using the S106 money elapses. I would be very grateful if you could keep me informed as to when the work is due to start, as we would very much like to be involved as much as possible. I have copied in Val who is Chairperson of DRA, Rosie is Treasurer and Nicky who runs the blog at Digbeth.org. We were hoping that DRA may be able to have a presence at the commencement of the Bradford Street works to come along and take photos? We thought it may be an idea to publicise the start of the work at both Digbeth.org and also MyDigbeth.co.uk, which is the website for DRA. If this is a possibility, I would be very grateful if you could give futher details such as a time/place for us to come along to.Many thanks in advance and kindest regards,Pamela Pinski

FROM BHAM CITY COUNCIL TO DRA Tue, 1 Mar 2011:Hello Pamela,There will be no problem with your suggestion - it's a good news story and
we'd welcome the publicity. I have just checked with the Engineer, and it
will not now be 7th March; we will still be finished before the expiry of
the S106, but we won't be on site quite that early. The best thing would be
for you to drop an email to the Engineer at the address below, and she will
write to you to give you formal notice of the start of the works about a
week before we go on site. You'll also have all of the relevant phone
numbers for the team coordinating the works on the letter.Contact details:

(DRA) would be able to come along to take photos? I have copied in Val who
is Chairperson of DRA, and Nicky who runs the blog at Digbeth.orgWe thought it may be an idea to take photos of the commencement of the work

details such as a time/place for us to come along to.Many thanks in advance and kindest regards,

Hello Pamela,
Thanks for your email. The Phase 1 works are due to start on the 7th
March and will use the full amount of S106 available prior to the expiry date.
This will provide improved footways in the area of the Abacus building.
As you may be aware, it is then our intention to bring forward a more comprehensive scheme to deliver improvements including street trees, lighting and further footway improvements later in the year as Phase 2.
The Residents Association will be kept appraised of the proposals as we bring them forward - you can expect full details of the Phase 2 proposals as soon as we have agreed the technical details.
Please get in touch if there is anything else that I can help you with.
Regards,
Mark
