Reflections on the Weekly briefing of 26th of April 2016

1) The curatorial committee has completed its work in designating spaces for each student in each of the studios.  - I need to think carefully over the next few weeks on  how to use this space, firstly, for my assessment, and then later, for the exhibition.  I need to treat these two events quite separately from the point of view of presentation...

2) it was recommended that more use of the Instagram account and also the course Facebook page is used by students in order to publicise their work. I shall load up my Artists statement to the Instagram page.

3) it was recommended that students think carefully about their requirements in order that any plinths or specific shells that need to be made up are done so as soon as possible. The technician, (Ryan Durrant) will assist with the fabrication of these items where possible.  My own requirements will need to be mapped out based on the wooden sub-frame in order to make sure fixings are centred properly.

4) on Wednesday, 4 May we will have a general clear up day in each of the studios.  I need to make sure my work is collected and archived properly.  I also need to take high-quality scans of some of the paintings I completed.

5) it has been decided to use the T1 06 studio is a store for people's work whilst the other studios are being cleared and painted. - Fine, no issues with that!

----------
 A short lecture was then provided by Dr Lister which outlined how we can think about using our own gallery spaces. He used the examples of artists such as Sol LeWitt, and also an example of the layout of the gallery space used at the Goldsmiths degree show of 2015.

Ultimately what we are trying to do is to create a sense of progression. We are looking towards actively forcing the viewer to engage with each of the objects and also to move their eyes amongst the exhibition space and a sort of dialogue and rhythm of changes. The intent is to create collisions of enquiry.

With regard to the example of Quentin Blake (2014) and his exhibition at the house of illustration in London, this was a very different technique that was used in order to help show the whole body of work.
