BaseNorth have been looking around the Sunniside area for alternative sites for our exhibition. There are many empty offices and shops up for sale, which we are going to contact to find out whether we can rent one of these spaces temporarily. We have to consider that we may not get a space or the rent may be too expensive, if so how do we work around this? We still haven’t heard back about the MA art space on the corner of Talbot Street, this has inspired us to think of different ways to show our work. What if we produced a printed artwork? We could make a temporary installation outside that only existed for a day. Even though it has been frustrating not being able to show our work it only makes us more determined and creative. Going through this process has also solidified our ideas as a group and we are working much more collaboratively. Last week BaseNorth got the opportunity to meet, Mike Clasper and his wife who are the sponsors of the Douglas Clasper Award. It was great to meet them and we felt that they really believed in our ideas and supported our vision for the exhibition project.
