I felt our session today was really useful. We had a very interesting and informative talk from Richard Grayson on 'putting shows together.' Richard seemed shocked at how little time we had and said 'he'd be looking for the back door' if he had to do this! Afterwards we discussed our exhibition further. I think we agreed on quite a lot, I will try to sum it up below, if I forgot anything please add it!
- We need not have an exhibition space, we would like one, but if after a few weeks we find we haven't got one we must move on with other ways to present our work (see below)
- We will continue to push for spaces with a flat in the Heygate, a building near the Tate Modern, a gallery in Angel and a pub/gallery in Hackney as our most likely options at the moment.
- Ala is collecting digital images from each of us to print as postcards we can sell to raise funds. We need more ideas in this area.
- We would like to use images taken by the public as part of the exhibition in keeping with the theme of community. We have talked about using mobile multimedia messages, Bluetooth and a Flickr group to allow people to upload their pictures.
- These pictures can then be presented in the gallery space and online. We are also keen to allow the public especially those that contributed to receive slideshows of the images, perhaps as video podcasts or even on mobile phones.
- At Richard's suggestion we are going to document the development of the exhibition on video. This will be posted on this blog so keep checking back.
