Phase 2. Post residency.
1-3rd Aug 2008.The Big Chill

We really enjoyed bringing the mobile cottage to the big chill. We had a fantastic view over the whole site and the cottage had alot of space around it. It was interesting to live in the cottage for a few days and to be able to run through the daily routines of cooking, cleaning, sleeping, chatting,playing, etc, inside an artwork.

Lots of people visited the cottage, including a group of fake morris dancers and the big hairy bikers who filmed by the cottage. Living back in a vehicle was a reminder of the 4 years Yoke and Zoom spent living in vintage caravans.

Towed the mobile cottage into the big chill, assisted by Phoenix Coulson- Johnson. Got a great spot on the top of the hill looking over the whole site.Tried to get the essentials in, Gas / Water / bedding/survival kit, before vehicles are banned from the site.

Straight forward tow- 45 minutes. No problems except for the side windows being loose.
