Our degree show at Brighton opens to the public on 9th June. We however, must have all our work installed and ready by 25th May, so that it can be marked by external examiners. Writing this out makes it seem more and more necessary that I sort out my practice, which is currently a bit all over the place.
The others on my course would like me to present a proposal on my work next week. My ideas all revolve around the gallery space and the way in which it is used by visitors. Some of my ideas involve manipulating the space, this will have implications for our entire show.
There are only 16 people on my course, but the nature of CFAP (critical fine art practice) means that everybody’s work is very different, in media as well as content. Our practice is informed by the theory we read, and everybody reads different things. This means that creating continuity in a group show is difficult.
Luckily we have the chance to experiment with our ‘preview show’ outside our studio in a cabinet. We have titled this show ‘Yoke’, and I will talk more about this next week after it has opened.
The issue with my more intrusive ideas, as well as it affecting other people’s work, is that I was planning to use just one of the two studios that will become our gallery. This of course affects the continuity of the entire show.
Basically, I am greatful to have kept this blog, and hopefully I can use this to come up with a proposal about my work.
