It's.. been a long time. It's gone through
a lot of different genesis and it's..
really exiting to have it here now.
You know we started building it in -...
When Format festival, you know the
photography festival was on in 2006
is when the digging first started.
So its just physically the building taken
nearly two years to build; to come out of the ground.
I mean the whole ethos of Quad is
to make art and film accessible to all.
So this is really kind of the high point of that idea.
Where we wanted to use it as a melting pot for
showing independent film, for showing artists films;
to use as a production space -
and to use for performance and talks -
and it's really the place where you can come
and do and think and discuss as well.
I first got involved with Quad when I had a call from
Dorothy Warner.. who's done a fantastic job raising
millions of pounds to make the project happen, and she said
"would you like to be on the development committee?"
Which I duly did.
So for about the past six months, I've been involved in
watching the progress of the - of the building,
seeing it - seeing it develop and
it's really exciting as I say, to be here of the opening day.
