INTERIM SHOW - Presentations and ideas....

Last week we started thinking about the Interim show in January. We viewed presentations from each of our exhibitors (all that turned up that day) and in the afternoon we discussed possible roles and schedule meetings to discuss things further. 

We decided to split our group into two as while we were watching the presentations we noticed that some had religious themes and others had themes based on the body and dreams. We decided that that the first group be Religious Spaces and would be in PS1 and that Bodies and Dreams would be in PS2. The reason we decided on project spaces is that those in Religious Spaces had a lot of 3D work and projections, which the open space in PS1 would allow, and those in Bodies and Dreams would have a lot of 2D work mounted on the walls, which the narrow space of PS2 would allow. 

Those in Religious Spaces are: 
- Beth Freer
- Cameron McGee
- Colleen O'Brien
- Cameron Cole

Those in Bodies & Dreams are:
- Alexandria Day
- Ashlee Purdee
- Chantelle Knight
- Clementine Brown
- Courtney Stubbings
- Daisy-Mae Taylor
- Deanna Palfrey

It has been difficult organising people as no one turns up in the Bodies & Dreams group which I'm helping to curate. We constantly send messages but only a few get back to us. Whereas Religious Spaces are already ahead and ready to plan/commission. Although it is a good skill to learn, and something I have experience in when to I worked in management, it can be frustrating at times. I hope that we at least get somewhere next week and can begin to organise people and commission works. We have also sent out a proposal form so that those who can't make it in can send the information to us so we can begin to use that in our discussions and planning stages.

Screen Prints & Lino....

After doing the CMYK prints, I decided to experiment with the prints. The first lot of experiments I used my lino prints and printed on top of them. I had also cut out some smaller lino designs to print alongside the main lino print, and also decided to cut out most of the background and the text of my main lino design. I then printed each design separately - the main design first, then the flowers, then both lino's together. I really like how these designs have come out. I might try this out on my newspaper print, and then possibly stick it in a public space? Something that I'm considering. I like the contrast of the bold images over the text and I feel like these alone would be an effective series. I might just stick these up in a white wall and document them as a series to see what they would look like. Perhaps even individually. I might take this further and do more prints, perhaps experiment with different colours and perhaps introduce an element of collage, even perh...

BA2b - SELLOT Exhibition: Planning and designs....

As well as Anteros, I'm helping to organise another exhibition in relation to the ARTAGRAM exhibition that we did near the end of BA2a. For this exhibition we decided to explore the idea of commercialism, and what is considered art. We are using the gallery space as a pop shop instead, and will be creating products that we will hopefully sell. The products that we hope to sell include t-shirts, prints, postcards, sculptures, craft pieces and so on. For the initial stages, we have been brainstorming designs for the name of the exhibition, postcards and the initial poster designs and colour scheme. For the postcards, I made some designs based off of my practice - using feminist slogans and gender symbols. I stuck to the same colour scheme of pinks, whites and teal - which are going to be the main colours  used in our publication. I experimented with different effects on the text, used the same techniques that I used for previous di...

INTERCHANGE: Japanese Book Binding....

For the first workshop of the interchange event I chose to do Japanese book binding. I thought it would be good to learn a new skill, and after creating the books, I thought I could use these in our SELLOUT exhibition. There are 3 main types of Japanese book binding; Yotsume Toji (four hole) binding, Kikko Toji (tortoise shell) binding and Asa-No-Ha Toji (hemp leaf) binding. I chose the four hole binding and the tortoise shell binding. The first stages of Japanese book binding involve folding sheets of Japanese paper in half. We folded 20 sheets of paper in half to create 40 pages. We then flattened them down with a bone tool, covering the folded pages with photocopier paper before doing so. After the folded sheets were flattened, we collated them together, cut another sheet of paper to the size of the pages, which would be then be stuck to the cover later on in the process. Once the backing of the cover and the pages are all aligned, we then measured out the margin for th...
