Week 2: Exhibition Concept Brainstorm

As soon as we got our group sorted, we began brainstorming for possible exhibition concept that we can present.

From our artist statement, we were initially thinking about presenting personal works. But as advised by the lecturers, we should look at relating our major projects into the exhibition to avoid doubling work over the course of semester two. We looked at our major projects and tried looking for connection that we can use as a common theme. It was a bit tricky at first because all projects have a vast difference.

We also began delegating individual task for the group. Cay and myself (Nicole) took the role of curators. Angelique and David were exhibiting artist and Michael took charge of branding.

Invitations

Furniture

Furniture research The space that we are looked into hiring does not provide any furniture therefore we would have to look for our own. Our options include hiring or finding ones we can borrow. The website www.exhibitionhire.co.nz provides a range of furniture with different types of displays structure and furniture such as chairs and tables. Majority of the listed furniture are dark and not quite what we are after and it was also quite expensive. We thought about bringing tables from home but we would want to have same looking furniture to tie the work together as well as avoid adding anything else that would make the space more domestic than it is. We also looked at lights and MacBooks/ipads. Meg Rollandi, The exposure exhibition coordinator of the uni gave us a link to a hire place for computers: http://www.rentamac.co.nz/portfolio-view/imac/.
