Exhibition Spaces

Today has been such a busy and excitiing day. Lucy S, Rose, Lucy T and I had a meeting with Lisa Who of Curve Gallery. Our meeting was to further discuss the possibilty of a four person exhibition. We presented our works one by one and I was so happy to hear that Lisa was interested in giving us an exhibition. The dates planned for this exhibition will be 14th- 16th of April, although we will be curating our work in the space before that. Now all we need to do is think of a name for the event, produce some postcard invites and keep producing as much good work as possible so we can chose pieces which fit well together. Here are some photographs I took of the meeting.

In the evening I attended the Liverpool Art Academy exhibition to get an idea of the space I will be exhibiting in with 25 others. I was really amazed by the size of the room! I think we will even have room to spare. Here are some images of the space... although I'm not really sure it they do it justuce.

Networking

Last friday Lucy and I had a meeting with the owner of Curve Gallery in Liverpool to discuss the chances of a possible exhibition. The space looked really promising. A good sized room for a four person show. The walls were clear of cables and sockets so it would be possible to hang work up too. It would be an ideal location for an exhibition. We discussed dates and hopefully we should be able to book the room in April just over the easter holidays. The next step is to arrange another meeting to show and discuss our work further.

New paintings

I've been working at home for the past couple of weeks on three large paintings. It is a move on from my experiments with the multi canvas idea. I am considering the way we portray ourselves using facebook and tagging. It will hopefully fit into the exhibition theme of 'releationships' at the Liverpool Academy of Art. 

Although they are not yet completed I feel that these works are more successful compositionally, have more meaning and have a stronger connection to the portaiture path I itintended to follow originally.
