`Some of us have been working with children
aged between 8-11 at the Woodchester
Endowed School in Gloucestershire. They
have been making instruments from found
materials.'
`Are you coming back next week? It's much
better than Art.'
`There will be some poetry objects, the nature
of which is not as yet fixed.'

`I am not sure how complex the YES/NO
mechanism should be. Should it work from
both sides of the door? i.e. do the people come
out of the same door they entered, if so can
they do it easily—or doesn't it matter?'
`The original conception was to produce an
exhibition for blind people.'
`The exhibition will depend upon complete
spectator participation, and, although de-
signed specifically for the Bear Lane Gallery,
should be capable of touring in a modified
form.'
`inviting suggestions from anybody as to what
to do with all that we have got.'

Various components of the installations set up at
Bear Lane Gallery in May. The exhibition continues
until June 20
1970/71 allocation. Perhaps you could give
me some idea when you would intend to carry
out the work, i.e. would you have made a
start on it by March 31, 1970.'
`I would be most grateful if you could let us
have the money as soon as possible.'
`This grant will become payable on receipt of
your written acceptance of this offer, which
should be sent to the Art Director, Mr Robin
Campbell. I am enclosing a specimen letter
for your guidance.'
`...on the conditions stated.'
`rearranging some of the world's rubbish,
rather than adding to it.'
`a) Dates of the environmental/exhibition;
May 30—June 20 Private View: Saturday
May 30; we normally say "6-7.30 pm" on the
invitation, but the actual finishing time is
usually between 8.30 and 9.00. Does this suit
you ?
b) If possible, we would like; 200 posters,
250 catalogues, and 700 invitation cards,
please. Nick would also be grateful for some
sort of hand-out, or information, for advance
distribution to the press.'
`Some feelie boxes will be built by Corsham
students, as will the "smellies".'
`The name comes from the book cover in
which the original shozyg was built, the final
volume SHO-ZYG of an encyclopaedia.
Shozyg I was produced by Hugh Davies in
the summer of 1968. Shozygs have since then
been produced by him as well as in collabo-
ration with John Furnival.'
`The contact microphones amplify all sounds
equally, regardless of their acoustic differences
since the sounds are picked up as vibrations
from a physical surface and not from the air.'
