We had a walk around the exhibition space yesterday, it’s the conference room in the National Glass Centre, but it’s got a wonderful view.
I organised it because some of the year are freaking out, which is, well, almost good. They’re scared because they can’t imagine how it’s going to work. So I figured looking at the space and the practicalities might be really helpful. Not sure if it was, mostly I think it added fuel to their crazy-panic-fire.
I liked it though, I’ve been living with my little people all crowded together on my tea trolley. Yes, I have a tea trolley at university. It was in my rider.
So seeing this wide open space was good, it made me think about how I want them to be viewed. They’re going to be on the floor, for sure. But should they be all hunkered up or should they be totally isolated.
The odd thing about them is that I could put them all together as close as can be and they’d still look lonely. When people come into the exhibition I want them to feel encrouched upon. I want them to feel like they might crush them. That they could get lost in them. With a metres floor space this might be tough.
Suggestions?
