Week 3: Visit to Adams Gallery

For Week 3's class, we visited Adams Art Gallery and got some advise from the curator on how they conceptualised the exhibition, the details/logistics that the usual big galleries deals with and how some of these may be encountered by us students as we set up own exhibition.

We found it interesting to hear and see how an exhibition came about. Details like wall text and catalogue were also quite intriguing in the sense we were able to think about how we didn't like how the catalogue of Adams Art gallery was done. We found it hard to find and read which art work's text belongs to and it got distracting for us.

For our exhibition, we wanted an easy access to information and make the experience more simple.

Before we locked down the space we had a phone call meeting with Denise to discuss what we wanted to do with it as well as set up time for a site visit. We kept in touch mostly through emails. For the ...

Furniture

by Cay Bueno
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/.  After some thought we decided that it is a good idea...
