Final Formation
The grad show taught me ways to improvise and work with other artists: communicate immediately when placements are unfavorable, patiently wait for others to finish expressing their opinions, and adjust accordingly when spaces are limited. The installation process took quite awhile because how little space we got; even so, people spoke with one another in respect and understanding. In comparison to others, works of mine require very little: together on plain white wall. What took long was finding the optimal positioning: how could the four paintings portray a polyamorous marriage. Though the installation was hectic, the end product was breath taking: rooms of different personalities, languages, ideas, and "ethnicities"; for some, the arrangements seemed squished but flowing- kids from all over staying in the same classroom, with their hands held high quietly waiting to be called. The biggest take away would be understanding how others' work communicates with your own: provide enough "comfort" space between artworks so viewers don't panic and lose track. It is also important to note how time plays a role in the process; without proper time management, the installation gets prolonged and schedules pushed back. One suggestion I would give regarding the space in Camberwell would be having signs near entrance, up the stairs for visitors to follow. It is also worthy of mentioning how the floors should be properly mopped, and buckets put away when near the opening of show.

"NO IMAGES FOR WILSON"







Small object paintings for wilson Rd

The curator did an amazing job at organizing an exhibition that's relaxing and easy to navigate; however, the easy vibe has collided with some of the intimate/emotional artworks. Regarding my smaller object paintings, they require little space but larger companions; instead, they were placed in random places around paintings with same needs. When that happens, the intended reaction from artwork gets lessened or even eradicated. Again, the same principle applies: thoughtfulness for installers and other artists. What makes it different would be the amount of work piled in each and every room/space. Some rooms don't even have lights lit, "empty" though no where near empty. One suggestion would be to divide the student body up into two, and have some organize the commercial/advertisement aspect. To us students, the Wilson room felt extra and unnecessary. Feeling that we could have limitations set on number of artworks submitted/exhibited. The space is already limited, it only makes it extra hard with more works pouring in.
