- I'm William Tang. I am currently planning for my documentary to extend our explorations in to the notion of documentary making into an exhibition type space. It is turning into a curatorial approach. The questions about documentary and documentary making used as platform to investigate our relationship with dialogue and the physical world of objects and actions.
The space will be open for people to investigate, mediate and to experiment with different ideas, formats, possibilities of documentary.
To kick start I have put up on my documentary page an email correspondance to a friend.
I am looking to produce this in a122 hopefully and I thought it would be interesting to coincide with the documentaries produced by the Making Documentary group.
This is an Open Invitation!!
