Rationale

During this project of putting this exhibition on I have learnt allot. We put ourselves into four groups marketing, fundraising, curators and logistics. Each group had their own job to do to put the exhibition on. Across all the groups I think that we have had a problem with attendance and getting the whole group to help put the exhibition on. Money has been a bit of an issue getting enough for everything we need for the show. Each group had to deal with their chosen group then also coincide that with communicating with the other groups which can be difficult.

The marketing group which I am in have worked very hard. We have overcome many obstacles such as finding a company to sponsor us and give us posters, which we managed. Also getting the flyer's prepared by screen printing them, which we got one person to do them all as they had got a momentum going the rest of us mixed inks and removed the wet flyer's and replaced with a new flyer. Our group mainly worked well as a whole but found it hard to get in touch with some members.

Logistics and curators worked well together in getting the floor plans and a theme together to then place peoples work in certain spaces so they would fit. They created a theme that would enable us to split the group up into each room with it flowing.

Fundraising held several events including raffles, games and stalls to help pay for the things we needed for the show. A few people covered the cost for some of the stuff they ordered like I paid for the website and Laura paid for some of the luggage tags. Fundraising went off into little groups to organise a few events.

Me and Laura have worked in collaboration for the piece we are putting into the show. We have had to deeply consider packing and transporting the piece into the van. We have made carriers to help carry them and are wrapping them in bubble wrap and cardboard. We cut down our final piece to fit in the space we have and have negotiated with people around us about lighting, so all is ready to install.

Overall this project has been very difficult but a great experience. It is very hard to work with 44people all with different views, personalities and work, but I feel we have managed it. We have the wine, the work, the people the promotion to put this show on and it is all in place, ready for the show now. Obviously problems may occur but we have arranged between us invigilators to watch the space.

The blog process has been long. I'm not sure whether a blog is for me, I prefer a note book I don't always use the Internet so a note book is more practical for me. Websites always have some faults with them this website is no exception, so a note book is a more consistent way to think through my thought processes and put down shows I have been to.The good thing about putting my thoughts on here is that my spelling isn't great which means I can check it on here section by section so when I go back I can still remember what I've put.
