get over yourself!!
I think I have now got over myself! After the wonderful summer’s evening enthusiastic reception the exhibition received at the opening last Thursday and the fact that I had so much support from Castlefield Gallery staff making everything run so smoothly (as I keep saying, as a freelance curator one gets used to DIY) I’m now thinking about the exhibition again.
Certainly, standing back and looking at the work, in a formal way, was really exciting part of the curating process – and it’s the nature of the gallery space that this becomes so much more important – if not the main consideration.
The viewpoint in relation to the space, the positioning of works in relation to each other…. There are practicalities – like light, wall conditions, new build of walls and electrics to consider as well as the purely aesthetic considerations and making sense of the ideas in the show.
