was scheduled for mid-November 2005 and was to be presented in partnership<br />

with Digital Summer and MIRIAD (Manchester Institute for Research and<br />

Innovation in Art and Design). Both had been project partners on<br />

‘Intersculpt:uk 03’. CUBE (Centre for the Urban Built Environment) was<br />

identified as the ideal venue. The proposed exhibition was to move away from<br />

the survey aspects of the previous ‘Intersculpt:uk’ exhibitions and would<br />

respond not only to a theme but to developments and ideas in the field coming<br />

from a diversity of practitioners from across 3D art and design disciplines.<br />

Fast-uk pledged to match any funds received from ACE through earned income,<br />

sponsorship/contributed income and in-kind support. The programme would<br />

be managed and run using a system similar to ‘Intersculpt:uk 03’. A part-time<br />

freelance project and outreach coordinator would be contracted to manage<br />

‘Intersculpt:uk 05’. The overall direction of the project would be overseen and<br />

administered by the management team 73 with programmatic decisions made by<br />

the curatorial team 74 . To better target and reach our audience it was decided to<br />

contract with a freelance arts pr/marketing professional.<br />

We received an offer of £30,000 from ACE for ‘Perimeters, Boundaries and<br />

Dimensions’. The reason for the partial funding was attributed to pressure on<br />

funds. We needed confirmation of dates, venue and confirmation of partner<br />

support before funds would be released. An invitation for the Lancaster-based<br />

not-for-profit digital arts organisation folly 75 to become a project partner was<br />

extended. This was positively received they were planning a festival event that<br />

would happen at the same time and would coordinate this with our exhibition.<br />

The researcher had been working on a project with Arts Magnet 76 and was put<br />

in touch with Adrian Slatcher ICT Development Officer at CUBE by its Director<br />

Hannah Rudman. The researcher sent a brief synopsis of ‘Perimeters,<br />

Boundaries and Dimensions’ to both these individuals and asked if it was<br />

possible to schedule a meeting to discuss this at their earliest convenience. We<br />
