Project Content

Ok guys, we had the meeting today (minutes of which are to come) and we decided as a group that the theme for this project should be kept simple. We wanted to give people a one word prompt through which to create artwork and we wanted to make the exhibition open to everyone, which would mean a greater chance of us getting submissions. There are many online forums and websites through which we can promote our exhibition so there should be plenty of chances for us to get submittees. The word we chose was 'Secrets' and the current concept is that these images would be submitted, sorted and curated by us, and then the best would be chosen to go in to the exhibition. The current idea is that we build an environment, a personal space, like a room etc and then have the images hidden within the environment so that people had to search through the room to find the images. We want to make this a completely multimedia project and so there can be all kinds of submissions from the public. There might be websites, slideshows, sculptures, paintings, photographs and drawings plus many other art forms. The idea is that by 'snooping' the viewers would be able to discover the 'secrets' and as such interact with the art work and the exhibition space. It also kind of links in with the ideas of voyuerism and the surveillance society that we have previously explored with our own work. Please leave comments and let us know what you think of the basic concept. It is still early days, but we have to get this pinned down as soon as possible if we are to get any work submitted on time for the beginning of December. Thanks.
