Post exhibition

Last night was without a doubt one the of the proudest moments of my life. It gave me a taster of a real art exhibition. The past two weeks of blood sweat and toil have culminated in one of the best exhibitions of video, textiles, fine art, photography and graphics that I have ever seen.  This experience has made me truly understand what goes into putting up an exhibition on any scale.

I got some very positive feedback on my piece and was glad to have people asking questions about the context, items, choices.  The fact that people understood within a couple of minutes really meant a lot to me because it was one of the aims of the piece. To establish the focus and context behind the piece.  I liked the fact that people were taking time to read the quotation and synopsis, watch some of the video and then spend time looking into the cabinet. I think that the position that I was in really did serve its purpose and gave me a constant flow of people to chat to and show the piece to.

I don't think that we could have done any of this without the time and effort of our tutors Jamie Holman and Andy Piper. with there guidance we have put on a brilliant exhibition and had an experience that will no doubt help us in years to come. 

The final part of the unit is the evaluation which we will be doing tomorrow at college ahead of the 4th July. This is the last part before we submit our skecthbooks, blogs and pieces to be moderated by the UAL moderator that is visiting soon.
