Exhibition Ideas

For my final exhibition piece I am looking to pickle or preserve in some manor my dandelion seed heads, in miscellaneously shaped glass jars hanging from the ceiling if that is possible.

I am unsure of amount as I cant picture quite how many I would need to work in the space but probable 20 to 30? So really all I would need to exhibition is space to hang from that would take the weight of glass jars.

Exhibition Ideas

note 17th may -im juggling between the cylindrical swirls hanging or keeping them free standing i need to try it out.. update more tomorrow..

Floss' Exhibition

My aim is to make a hanging piece to a shape similar to the sketches below. It doesn't need to be anywhere specific  but needs to hang about 5ft 10 high from the ground (ish) I may use a light source but it depends how I feel about it when it's up. 

Final Ideas for the Exhibition

In addition to Martina's post on what she wishes to show for the exhibition, I hope to display three long banners influenced by the oil painting experiment I undertook. These banners will be 240cm in length as I want them to brush off the floor and approximately 40cm wide. I will need to have a space where I can hang the banners, preferably off one of the pipes. I also want to see what the banners will look like with the addition of generated air as I feel it would portray the whimsical feel of the atmosphere I was exploring throughout the project.  

Exhibition Idea

As the exhibition is getting nearer and nearer I think it is important to have a clear vision of what I wish to achieve.

With the film I have created this will be put on the main projector and run continuously along with other students that have used film in their work.

Along with this I wish to corner off a section of Hotspur with tape which is available for people to interact with the dominoes, seeing how they make routes and testing their patience! I will need a flat floor for this and approx. 2m by 2m and with the words, 'DOMINO FALL IN PROGRESS PLEASE TREAD CAREFULLY' put on to a sign.

Important Dates

In the morning meeting today we got told the important dates for the end weeks of Unit X.

• Friday 18th: Blog deadline

• Monday 21st: Clear the space at Hotspur, label clearly if you wish to leave work there for the exhibition so that it does not get thrown out.

• Wednesday 23rd (6-10pm): Launch Party - Hotspur (we will not have our work up then it is just a party to start the exhibitions happening with unit X.

• Thursday 24th: Put up work in Hotspur.

• Friday 25th: Morning final touches to work, early evening Private View.

• Thursday 31st: All work to be taken down.

Feedback is to be confirmed at a later date. 

Exhibition Preparation-Ideas

I think we should discuss, as a group, what we would like for our exhibition as the time is getting near and it's a vital aspect of the project.

Martina and Bec's, we came to the conclusion earlier at the meeting that we would like to have our exhibition in the Hotspur itself instead of a typical gallery space as we want to promote the use of this once, very busy environment. Also, with the newly created cafe, there would be a quirky place to serve wine to viewers.

The concern of lighting was mentioned in the large group discussion, however I thought it might actually add to the atmosphere if we embrace the natural lighting in the space and perhaps use lighting to highlight each individuals piece of work as I'm assuming the opening of the exhibition might be in the late evening? -Just a thought!

Also, I came up with the idea of using a title which highlights the importance of group and individual research within the duration of the project. Perhaps something like 'Personal Discoveries', 'Found Information' 'Collection' or 'Found' etc.

What does everyone think? Any further ideas?
