Its Here!
The show is here…..
Apologies for not updating this blog for ages…I Hope you can get along and see it !
Its all happening NOW… TODAY the show opens tonight 6-9pm… along with 5 other big shows in Manchester, so hopefully the audience wont be too drunk by the time they arrive at Castlefield!! – the sun is shining, spring is here and I’m feeling apprehensive. In the gallery there’s no hiding..
Putting the work into a gallery has been a fascinating process – whilst carrying in my mind all the practicalities of the community based show and the issues we dealt with there, the set of challenges in the gallery is altogether different – obviously!
The luxury of working at Castlefield, with a great technician to help with things, with enthusiastic volunteers and supportive yet challenging curators – it has been a new and exhilerating experience! Most of my projects have been non-gallery based, where people may not have time or be be all that bothered about your work. The Luxury of spending all afternoon positioning lights, weighing things up, discussions about placement of things, trying it out for several days….and playing with the ideas with other artists has been good. I’m learning all the time..and one of the big things I ve learnt is that you dont really know the work till its all there together and how it works – if it works- as a group show. So now it’s a show and what will it say?…..more soon
