The Next Step
The an Re:View bursary I recieved has funded a set of 3 mentoring meetings with gallery director and curator Danielle Arnaud. I have my second meeting booked with Danielle in two weeks time.
We are meeting at The Guildhall Art Gallery so that she can have a look at my work insitu at the Victoriana exhibition, in particular the site specific installation. It has been a long time since our initial mentoring meeting which was quite a general get to know me and my work kind of meeting so I have been having a think about what is most important for me to learn in this second meeting.
I think the thing which is currently of paramount importance to me is to learn how best to orchestrate my current project into a viable show. As the major piece of the project consists of a walk through installation that will be, to an extent, site specfic to the space it has been difficult to know how to progress without first having a venue.
I hope my mentor will help in the consideration of the types of venue most suited to my project, how best to approach them and present my ideas, as well as feedback to the concept of the show itself.
I will share a bit more about the actual project, Victim Of The Crystal, in my next post.
