Today, at lunchtime, a small group of us had our first meeting in relation to the exhibition "WET" at the STEW Gallery in Norwich towards the end of June. It was decided that "WET" would be the title of the show, and usually this would be a little too descriptive for my liking – but i will work with it. In thinking back to my Open Studios work, i could draw upon the theme of the "unfinished" e.g. Wet Paint. This is perhaps a bit too obvious, but it is a starting point and i will see where it goes. I would like to make the work for this show more Conceptually orientated than Open Studios, as it is a different audience – and working with Fine Art graduates, i feel less tied to specific materials.
I will start thinking and researching for the work now, mostly by reading. The Open Studios work can take care of itself now, allowing my brain to go elsewhere.
I enjoyed seeing the others, and to hear what they are getting up to. Yes, we have a show in sight, but it was just really healthy to talk about ideas, have a catch up, complain about how busy we all are and to make some decisions. Im seeing them again next Wednesday after work, for us to show examples of what we are getting up to.
For me, this is for certain, the work will be Site-Sensitive and probably be created on the day of installation.
