Presentation of my Work - Planning - Further Mock Ups and Information
As part of my ongoing planning of a potential presentation of my work, having a space planned out is vital to how the work is viewed by others. Prior to this section of my planning, I had planned potential exhibition spaces that I would have liked to present my work in, however, due to time constraints and COVID, the work will be presented to potential examiners and lecturers for the purposes of marking, rather than the public. Although I intend on presenting my work in a public domain as stated in my previous planning, having my space planned out for marking is just as important. With this in mind, I am going to do some potential mock up’s of space designs using some photographs provided by my supervisor as the reference. This will help me visualise how to present my work in the most effective way possible. Any notes about this will be provided as well. Please note, the space may vary, but the presentation of the work will be as close to the plans as possible.
Planning:
Boards: I have decided not to white-wash the walls, or make any changes to the condition of my presentation boards because I want the work to be presented on a very rough, ready and uneven texture because that is more in-keeping with the subject matter. Having things too neat and tidy can make the work look far too rigid and formal. My work is about sheds, handmade structures made from materials that have been thrown away, therefore there is no need for me to present them as something they are not.
Work directly on the wall: The work directly on the wall will be my two larger pieces as they are the culmination of the years project. This is not to say the smaller pieces are not important, however overcrowding a small space does not help the viewer see the work easily or make it visually appealing. Instead, I will angle up some of the drawing from the table, giving the sheds a range of heights and positions. That way, people can look through the work at their leisure.
Digital Elements: I have devised a QR code sheet for both my Online Learning Platform and my blog so that the viewer can access both aspects of my project that I cannot physically provide in person. This makes the connection between my online and physical elements. This will be available on the table along with my supporting work.
Supporting Work: Sketchbooks, sketches and copies of my written workshops will be available on the table ready for marking. This is a vital part of the project because it shows all elements of my planning, thought process and how my practice has progressed throughout the project.
Potential Alterations: if the allocated space has a dividing wall, as shown by the image example, depending on how deep it is, I could possibly present some of the A2 pieces down the small wall. If this is not a possibility, I may put a couple of drawings below the two main ones, making sure not to overcrowd the area.
In conclusion to the planning, I think taking into consideration a potential space, what to present on the wall, what to have in other areas and having a clear connection between the physical and online work is an important aspect of the project as a whole. Although exhibiting is not a possibility, having a space you have carefully considered is important for any viewer looking at your work, regardless of the situation. It still allows me to have control over how my work looks, how it is presented and how each aspect can be viewed by a lecturer or examiner. Overall, I am pleased with this rough plan, as it gives me the scope to alter and change if I so choose, while giving me a basis to work from while putting the work up.
