We're going to have a show at the end of level 5 with Animation and Graphic Design! Exciting and a great opportunity to exhibit, network and have a good time.
It would be a perfect opportunity to invite some professionals or even those we are interviewing for creative reports.
I'm not quite sure if there's going to be a theme or what kind of work I'd like to show. I don't know whether I'll make something NEW or use something I've made this year.
I'd like to make something new and specifically made for the space. Check out this big cardboard Eagle currently on show! It would be fantastic to make something HUGE and IMPRESSIVE but this is a shared show and a small space to fit us all in so we need to be considerate and fair. I do think some people will probably end up with 'better' spaces and more space than others, it's just the way these things go but I want to be fair and just have a small space for a couple of pieces, like everyone else. IT'S NOT ONE PERSON'S SHOW, IT'S EVERYONE'S and we need to use the space wisely.
Mabgate is in a very run down area of Leeds and I didn't feel safe walking there (mostly because I was worried I'd get lost). One of those graffiti, scabby streets, just not what I'm used to. The space seemed very Hipster and grunge... hmm... I think I imagined something a bit smarter/more formal but maybe this is a good thing, less officious.
It's hard to imagine how it will look with our work in there but I'm sure we can make something groovy with it. It's a pretty dynamic space and they have moving wall partitions so we can change it up and project videos too.
I didn't volunteer to help organise the event because I don't think I'll have time and I don't want to have the responsibility of chasing up people who are late to submit etc. but I wish the best of luck to those organising, it will be a good experience and could even be a career path - event organising, gallery staff or show curation. I don't like events if they're after tea time and involve alcohol so probably not one for me.
