We were asked to select groups in which we would like to exhibit together, some chose groups of similar work others chose groups of friendships. Ours was one of the latter, there are eight of us all together, all with very different practices and ways of working. I personally feel this will create a new dimension to the exhibition creating a collection of very diverse work.
The first step we felt in organising the exhibition was to search for an appropriate venue. This process is a long and exhausting one. Looking for the perfect venue to suit eight artistic minds is a very difficult, time has not been on our side as many of the galleries are booked up with months in advance, way before we knew to start looking. This is something we perhaps need to keep in mind for any future exhibitions.
The venue we have decided on is a gallery called the gage gallery. This is a fantastic space filled with natural lighting and plenty of free room, the gallery offers 25 meters by 7 meters ready for us to fill with our individual artworks. We needed somewhere which offered us a large enough space and that gave us plenty of space to experiment to create the best exhibition we could.
