Exhibition thoughts - group work Part 3

Not liking the name we eventually went from black and white to the name void to eventually coming up with the glow. Glow became a thought after brainstorming what kind of spray cans we were intending to use and was eventually put as a name because of the glow in the dark spray paint. The idea came as previously mentioned from the Avicii video, where they used black spray paint on a white background, which we were intending to use the black and white spray paints on the contrasting rooms; the glow in the dark spray paint was to provide the audience with some interactivity, in order to make the exhibition more entertaining. After this we decided to use quotes coming from the different students around the class and students from the school, we are intending to at least have twenty to thirty different quotes inside both rooms. As a form of light we have decide upon using energy saviors as a form of light this is because of the colours the implement and they are also much more economical. We were thinking of combining both rooms together with the contrasting elements whether arrows or lines to in black and white, this was in order to implement a sort of movement coming from the doors to the ceilings to the other door and this would provide a bridge point from room to room and it could also pave the way for the audience to which room goes first and how the rooms connect. 

Exhibition thoughts - Group work Part 2

Keeping further discussion, after the exhibition elements idea, we started from point A again, and started to discuss what we could keep from the previous idea, such as the ideas of the light and the scent. Looking up a means of inspiration, and seeing what the students have done previously in the end of year exhibitions, and gathering further insight about exhibitions. Eventually agreeing into keeping the element of contrast in the exhibition and wanting to keep the idea minimalistic we decided to go for the name black and white, which then remembering a popular Avicii music video entitled ‘Avicii – The Days’ as a sort of inspiration, of what we could play with using these black and white elements and typography together. The video is just what we pictured to do with the exhibition rooms, keeping it clean, keeping it simple and yet very fun and aesthetic, however unlike the video we have been provided with two different rooms, which could lead to a yin yang kind of feeling to it as well, the black and white symbols, symbolism of balance between both rooms. We wanted it to feel like it was fun to construct and also fun to watch, kind of like an experience that people could see, and it would be very well presented if not rushed. We liked the idea and kept on researching what else we could implement as a sort of interaction for the audience and the exhibition.

Exhibition thoughts – Group work part 1

After the groups were established the first things were starting to prepare ideas for the end of year exhibition, firstly the theme of exhibition. It is difficult to put to mind in idea of a particular theme when everyone has a different perspective, but we all agreed to show each other the different ideas that came into mind before we established a concrete idea. The first theme/idea was called ‘elements’ this was basically combining objects like metal and wood. We eventually started to pick up particular colours that would go well with these rooms, then keeping in mind the cost, the type of flooring for example the carpets, the use of curtains, seating plans, the smell if we were going to use any scented objects like candles, and other results that could deal with into creating a successful exhibition. Agreeing that dark blue would go well with the metal room, then putting decorative elements such as the silhouettes curved into the metal sheets, the seating plans within the room, how people would access the sort of lighting we would need and so on. Then we came up with this particular sort of lights stuck inside jars to compliment the rooms a bit further, however into further and further discussion we started straying from the idea of elements into another theme.

Exhibition Research Part 11

Constructing the floor plans on an exhibition area is tedious one need to be given or gather an idea of where to place the material, or artwork. It will also help if the person has or is given acknowledgments of the dimensions within rooms. Any detail is important, even the littlest of details could get in the way when constructing the space. Even little things on the wall or the ceiling could get in the way, such as nails. It is advisable to have a rough copy of the room, either sketched or photographed. This will provide with an appropriate sketch of the plan before doing anything with the exhibition.  This applies to any person who is taking part of the exhibition including small areas of the exhibition. Individually, look whose work is beside yours and construct your space accordingly. People often forget the comfort of the exhibition area. Will people be uncomfortable viewing the space if there are a two or three people beside them? Will these individuals accidentally collide and feel even less comfortable? Remember to be able to provide comfort is a main necessity of any particular area.  

Exhibition Research Part 10

As previously mentioned elements help construct a great exhibition space, people take for granted smaller things like smell for instance can do for an exhibition, how colour implements different moods and feelings towards the exhibition spaces, how lighting would give particular emphasis to particular areas, it makes a huge difference. The content is the most important of all things, but these little extra pieces of detail will add up from making a normal exhibition stand to a great one. Smell is something people take for granted and it is evident. The right smell can cause great comfort/discomfort inside the room, it is a different sense we use sight isn't the only thing we need, other elements such as touch, smell, hearing and there are plenty of others that could increase in order to compliment the main exhibition.  Smell might trigger something in the person such as a memory, which could be good or bad, for example imagine there’s the certain smell of water or sea, it could trigger the memory of a great day at the beach, and if the exhibition in this case would be implemented with something sea life, or sea landscapes or something to promote awareness it would help extend the knowledge and awareness even further. 

Exhibition Research Part 9:

  In this particular art exhibition it gives the feeling of creativity. It feels like paint on the white canvas and the light also influences the design, there are various elements, whether being it fashion typography, it could even give the smell of paint in this particular area, just because of the dried paint in the room, the room is lit very well, but it just provides a vision of light and nothing in particular is set to the final pieces of the exhibition, it is neatly designed. At this the exhibitioners had to keep in mind not to overflow the splatters of paint too much, because this could have been drastic, at points there could have been less paint splashes because it looks in particular rooms that they have done more than they should have, but it is still an interesting concept, not particular for the design element, but for a fire art,  or something similar it would have been  a great idea. 

Exhibition research part 8:

This exhibition piece showcases colours to be more direct a hundred colours.  All these colours are accompanied with different types of shade, and opacities.  This is an interesting installation, the whole room is filled with all this variety of colours, and it is even put in nicely, It was some creative the light above provides the exhibition with the colour. The area is very large, and is illuminated with light, the light reflects the colour, and all these different shades of colour might be exhausting to the brain to process at first. The exhibition piece is hanging low, and looking at it carefully it might even affect the audience members because of the difference in height, but it does not affect the way how the exhibition is an abstract and creative. As previously mentioned colours implement a lot of things, especially moods, one could be walking by and feel so much just looking at this particular exhibition piece installation.

Here is an interesting art piece in particular the exhibition space here gives of a very colossal feeling, the person has to stick into a particular area of the room to see it carefully, it is a hanging installation, very abstract way of putting it together, however at the right angle one could very well depict what the image is. The light is set carefully on this piece as I can see correctly, to give it an adaptation of depth. It is also providing a particular feeling to the room, especially with the shadows. It’s giving a particular dimension to the background. Knowing just the form alone gives of the feeling of interest in this particular exhibition. 

Exhibition research part 7

This exhibition has plenty of interesting design implementations one of them being the use of 3D dimensional structure. It is trying to provide the image a more degree of realism. On one side one could see the title as part of the installation on the other it hosts the different forms of photographical work. The artist has taken other steps ahead to make this piece visual interesting, it makes the audience move into different directions, which could help provide interest.

The title is called in time it has a creative use of typography. The colour itself affects the mood greatly, yellow is a repetition of prosperity, life, sun and it is an overall raises a more embracing mood, but this also provides the audience with a nice contrast between the grayscale and the yellow. Other elements such as plants were used to capture interest; a certain seating plan was also made use of. The light would greatly affect this exhibition piece.  There’s ceiling light provided, however it does not impose neither navigation nor impact towards the product. 

Exhibition research part 6:

Floor plan helps create a mood with itself, it could also help give a proper navigation if needs be, it could be a leading line. It helps perform other responsibilities, like the sense of interest, to keep the overall style. This is perceived differently and will greatly affect the exhibition, take this particular example;

It gives a leading line and moves around the particular areas with the exhibition pieces. It’s giving the sense of direction in a way, and look how nicely it suites the overall area of the whole exhibition, it gives the indication of a uniform area, which some people relax when they see it and it itself becomes a perfect piece for the exhibition.  

Another example

The floor itself gives an indication of a comfortable living room.  The audience is provided with a living room surface in order to give a way of a more cozy and homey feeling to the room and exhibition. The only problem with the floor plan is the installation, why? Because it does not have any safety hazards, imagine a large amount of audience walking into the floor plan/installation, it might look nice on the eyes, especially since it contrasts the empty floors beside it so well, but it could easily trip someone, especially if they are discussing an art piece.
