Subject: need anything from Vancouver?
Hi Kate -
I almost forgot to offer my bags to you. I am leaving for Toronto and then Manchester and eventually London and likely
Bristol to see Jem & Co....
Do you need anything? Would a mix of dried mushrooms from the coastal mountains be of interest for anyone in your network? I
think I will be smuggling some in my checked luggage for my hosts.
Maybe there are good wild mushrooms in UK? What do I know about that... nothing at all.
How are you otherwise? Perhaps we will meet up. I would love that. Mary Oliver & I are doing a co-residency at HUBM3 a
newish media centre in Manchester.
Best wishes,
Lois
June 8, 2010 - last minute errands for my 10 or 11 week trip included a search for the wild mushroom guy at the Granville Island Market. I found the usual site for his table, marked out but totally vacant. Other sellers told me that he had been selling the day before, but on that day, there had been no sign of him. Drat. Luckily, there is a permanent shop at the market that sells food stock packaged nicely for tourists. They had a good selection of high quality mushrooms in well marked packages. Maybe this is a better bet for in the unlikely event of luggage inspection. The seller though transporting same would not be a problem... the Australian woman looking at the same product thought there would be no way they would be legal to import into her home country and she would never risk taking them into the UK.
June 9 - arrival in Toronto
June 12 - delivery of one package of mixed 'shrooms to Cheyanne who has kindly given me a futon to sleep on for 5 nights. She is a fantastic cook and promptly cooks up the entire package in a feast for me and my collaborator Mary. I gave her another package to enjoy after I leave.
June 21 - en board the air transat flight between TO and Manchester. I am reading through a booklet about transporting goods between Canada & UK. Dried food - OK; fresh meat & other produce - not OK.
June 23 - I give another package to Andrea, my host in Manchester. During my stay, she gives up smoking and takes up eating... the mushrooms quickly disappear in a couple of lovely roasted meat & veggie ensembles, that are her specialty.
July 7 - the final delivery is exchanged with Kate for cash. I'm thrilled to hear that she will feature them in her upcoming Feral Trade Cafe at Castlefields Gallery in August. I also love the idea for the rest of the gallery to be made available to artists from all over the UK to install themselves for work on specific summer projects or collaborations. Mary Oliver & I are in the midst of our collaborative residency at Hub M3 (http://www.hub.salford.ac.uk/). Manchester is a great place to get art working.
