Today I was finally able to get into the space that I shall be exhibiting in, in the degree show. There are a few bits and pieces that need to be moved but they are fine acting as table’s etc. at the moment.
It’s a long narrow room as is evident in the pictures. It has a very clinical feel to it helped by the fluorescent strip lights and the white walls.
The clinical feel, I hope will only add to the viewers uneasiness when they enter and see the floor strewn with penis shards surrounding the four sculptures.
The cupboard in the far right corner – as you enter the room, is where the video installation shall be installed. I feel it important to have this as one of the last pieces you see, as I want the sculptures to have the first impact.
The cupboard needs boxing off and tidying up, I’m still undecided as to whether it should be painted black in there or white similar to the rest of the room.
There’s some serious painting, filling and white-tac removing to do before I can think about painting the walls, but I’m very much looking forward to getting started – roll on Monday.
