Tuesday 8th February

Today we met up as a group again at the Student Union with Jess Green (a member of the Union) to view the space which is available for us to hold our exhibition. The space is ideal and deffinately has the potential for all of our works together or seperate; with extra room for anyone else who wanted to join. The area of the building we are interested in is a large space with long corridors, seperate small rooms, (which is perfect for the Installation I will be putting together) and a large middle space joining the rooms together, with plenty of wall space. The whole area links together quite nicely, flowing our works from one another and is a great size, although as the space is usually used as working offices it looks a little commercial....not what you really want for an art exhibition; and so a few members of the group are a little wary of what to do. Obviously Wolstenholme would have given a much better atmosphere but with that now out of the picture due to limited availability and there lack of acknowledgment towards our proposal, the Student Union is the next best thing. It is okay for what we are hoping to achieve from our exhibition but it is what we do with the space that matters. We are all creative students and if we think positive, plan and work together with our ideas then I'm sure that we can put together a great show; 'Introducing art to the SU.'

Above is the room in which I am planning
to use, although all of the furniture will be
removed from the roomand I will be
 blocking off the windows with white
boards as I will be adding my own
source of light to the room. Adding to the
presentation of the work itself.

Jess seemed eager to work with us and was very interested in each of our works and what we wanted to do in the available space; making us feel more comfortable with the venue. Although each of our plans and ideas may change slightly to fit better with the space itself.

We also mentioned the dates in which we were hoping to have the exhibition (24th March- 26th March), alongwith a few days prior to this in order to set up our works in our chosen spaces; but as the rooms are used as offices for meetings, it was stated that it may not be a deffinate although shouldn't be a problem as things could be re-arranged to fit our timetable.   

Basically all we are waiting on now is an e-mail from Jess with the date information. After that we can start planning the exhibition properly alongside the development of our individual works.
