Today we visited Wolstenholme where I managed to take some photographs of the Wolstenholme exhibition space, however for some reason they will not upload from my phone to my computer. When I work out how to do this I will put them on my blog, but until then I'm afraid all I can do is describe it to you.
It's quite an unconventional gallery space because of its rustic qualities. Its a bit rough on the edges, but I'm really looking forward to the challenge of presenting my work in such an unusual space. Let's face it, there are not many opportunities to present your work in any gallery, never mind one with as much character as this one. However, because there is so much going on in the space itself, my work will have to suit the environment its in, rather than the normal clinical gallery situation, where the art creates the atmosphere.
There are working electric sockets, so my idea of a film projection should not be affected in that sense, but many of the walls are textured, which will distort the projection to a certain extent. This could actually turn out to be beneficial to the work, as memories of nostalgia will fade or distort over time. So I might request for my work to be presented on one of these walls.
I could have problems hanging objects from the ceiling as there are no hooks or attatchments but I was told I would be allowed to use the beams. Perhaps I could design a frame to hang objects from which will use the beams as support.
So far I don't think there will be any problems that can't be sorted exhibiting in the Wolstenholme space. I'll keep you updated on new developments as they arise.
