FA7036 - Contacts for Museums with Gypsy Caravans

Museums and Organisations

(for Gypsy Caravans)

  • Museum of English Rural Life:

  • Located in University of Reading

  • Blake’s Lock Museum

  • Located in Reading

  • BOTH THESE FEATURE(D) THE SAME LEDGE CARAVAN

  • Greg’s Gypsy Bowtops

  • http://www.gregsgypsybowtops.co.uk/

  • A good call, as it looks like one could be hired.

  • Looking at the ‘gallery’ section, at least one seems to have been hired for filming.

  • Four are apparently available.

  • A great quote from the ‘reviews’ section:

  • “What Greg does is make lovely spaces where people can enjoy their days at a slower pace. A little escape and a simple Wind in the Willows approach to life.”

  • Ideas for use of the cravan:

  • Can promote Greg’s Gypsy Bowtops as well as my own film work.

  • Can feature my Wind in the Willows collection on one side, and my pre-production work on the other, with the essay film playing on a loop in the centre.

  • I could have a ‘suggestion box’, when visitors can post their conclusions or ideas based on the artwork they see.

  • The caravan could come ready fitted with furniture, and the artefacts/artwork would be placed in accordance, almost as ‘part of the furniture’. It’s almost as if it is the ‘real’ version of the stop motion set.

  • The idea is to make the interior ‘cosy’. Howling noises of wind and rain outside, thus urging people in?

  • I could be there, designing/coming up with ideas while people visit – like an ‘artist in residence’.
