Blog 25 May 2012
The exhibition, what a fabulous
evening, the studios looked amazing, and as the gallery filled up and
people were interested enough to asked about the work -it got even
better. I was pleased that I used aspects of my essay as my
inspiration and even more pleased that I had documented the
relationship of each image in my book because I was able to speak
confidently ( if not coherently) about each image and its
relationship to the other images.
If I had planned them all more
carefully in terms of what would be hung next to what, and the
relationship of the images next to each other I would have paid more
attention to the colour/tone of each image so that not only did they
visually sit well together but they had a strong relationship to the
next work. Something to think more about for the future.
It was a pity that the print room did
not get the maps and postcards printed. I always like to go away with
a keepsake or reminder of what I have seen at an exhibition. The
cards we had printed last year were really great and I have sent
them to people since, in fact I sent one on the 2nd of May
this year.
Maybe something to think about is sign
posting an event. “Reception” in the main tower block building told some people I know,
that they were not even aware of the exhibition
and had difficulties directing people to the event. I put directions
to Trafalgar Court in with both my post and emailed invitations, we
have to remember people forget to take these things with them, or
possibly, like me and getting old and forget what we've read.
A big thank you to you all for covering
for me in show building, I was very pleased to be in when I could but
I know you guys really did all the graft!
