Ex-hibit.

A previous module recently asked us to write an essay thinking and planning out the best way to exhibit our work to the public in a gallery environment. With my work often having deeper hidden meanings, mixed with humour yet occasionally a darker vibe it was difficult to see a standard gallery exhibit portraying the personality of my work effectively. Heavily inspired by Bristol's graffiti artist Banksy and in particular his exhibit Banksy vs Bristol museum. In this exhibit he used the concept of an art workshop being the exhibit, also a concept used by artists such as Barbara Hepworth, Francis Bacon and Henry Moore.
Using this concept would be a brilliant way for the public to grab a glimpse into what goes into my work, how its formed, the research, the thought process and most importantly the personality that goes into each piece.

Said module also asked us to create the exhibit we had planned, here are several picture of my ex-exhibit...

 

 

 

The exhibit was a great representation of my work and personality, everyone who I invited to see my exhibit enjoyed it and applauded my efforts. In my final exhibit at The Public gallery in West Bromwich on the 12th of October, I hope to try and use the same concept to build an equally good exhibit.
