Reviewing
Discuss these questions in relation to a group creating a design in collaboration
01 – What are the 3 best things about your efforts for this year’s exhibition?
Weekly logistics reports
Managing time for exhibition piece
Developing my creative process
02 – Did you manage time well?
Yes, I feel I am on track to finishing my exhibition piece comfortably (even allowing for last minute hiccups). I can sometimes be more of a ‘last minute person’ but I have managed to complete little tasks weekly to this point of having everything tried and tested and on the home stretch to completing my piece. As for the weekly diaries and blogs, they may not be completed at the same time each week, but they do get completed in the time that I do have to devote to it.
03 – Did you manage materials well i.e. test prototypes?
Yes, I tested prototypes throughout the creative process, without having done this, I would not have been able to come up with the new ideas that I have. It has been good to create the 3D shapes that I am working with and it has allowed my design to continue evolving.
04 – Have you researched installation methods?
I have thought about the possibilities and how I would like to display my work, but I need to re-visit the space that we are exhibiting in (the photography room) and make sure I can actually do these things and that I have the appropriate materials to do it.
05 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last WEEK?
Things I need:
*Exhibition piece will include wires (that it will hang from) and also a battery as the power source.
*Hook to attach to the ceiling
*Spare batteries
Navigation: balloons, completed maps and banners
Things I need to do:
*Make sure I can hang it from the ceiling in the photography room
*That the position it is in does it justice (ie a darker corner so the lights/patterns look brighter)
*Write my artists statement for my exhibition piece.
Navigation: complete maps (with correct rooms and names of displays), work out where to hang balloons/signage to help direct people to each exhibition room; banners completed with plans of where to hang them.
06 – Have you made a shortlist of the essentials for the last DAY?
*Spare batteries
*Double sided tape (incase of damage to the lanterns) and normal sticky tape for the installation
Blog Exercise – Using Failure
In regard to creative collaboration & the exhibition:
1 . List and describe 2 areas of failure in your preparation for uphere
*The group effort in organizing the exhibition – some groups could have been doing their respective jobs earlier in the semester so other groups that rely on their jobs being done wont be left with all their jobs to do at the very last minute. Communication between and within groups could have also been better.
*Not already having a portfolio organised (for the exhibition and beyond) as we are now running out of time to put one together.
2. Describe how you could realistically improve on this next time you exhibit
As there was no structured timeline (with strict deadlines) amongst individual groups, this could be improved upon (and adhered to) next time. Communication can also be improved with more regular face to face meetings, etc.
Perfect
