Exhibition Space

This week the main concern has been to organise the exhibition space ready for next week. The beginning of the week we positioned the boards and prepared and painted them. Today we were allocated spaces, which meant I needed to decided what I wanted to display. Although I was working towards putting my close-up photos of paint up and the film, I felt this would perhaps seem too disjointed and began to think if the film is being displayed the work that followed it should stand alongside it. However this would make the paint close-ups furthermore disjointed. Discussing this with tutors, I felt that the film work has the stronger pieces of work and came to the decision that I would only show film work.
I will be displaying the film on a Mac, along with three A1 film stills and two canvas'. I have been allocated 3 boards and a table to place the Mac on. On the first board I have decided will be the film stills (displayed landscape in their original format), followed by the two canvas' as they were created from the stills, so the work has an order to its creation. By displaying the film, stills, and paintings, it explains a development of work and all the pieces re-enforce one another, strengthening the display.  This collectively works better and is a stronger display than the paint close-ups and feel more comfortable with the changed display.
