What Jeremy and I were discussing is how the two exhibitions were going to work over the two months. Originally the July exhibition was going to be 'House' and then the week in August was going to be more focused on one or two artists but without the same conceptual focus. However when looking at the artists we have accumulated, most of them pertain in some shape or form to the term 'House', so we were thinking of having...
'House: Part One' (9th - 22nd July)
and
'House: Part Two' (20th - 27th August).
They won't necessarily be called part one/part two but we are going to use the same framework for both. I think that using artworks that respond to that term in different ways across the two shows will prevent it from being a repetition of ideas and instead it can be seen as a development or contrast.
We definitely want to show your project in the August exhibition but the main question we had, and what we can chat about this week, is how you see the work being curated in the show. We have been saying , but wanted to discuss what that material constitutes and how you see it being displayed in the space. At that we are going to display the documentary material alongside the resultant horror film the moment we are intending for the August show to be more focused on video/film/projection etc. so were thinking of blacking out the space to heighten the effect of this.
What may be an option is just showing the horror film in the August show and then focusing more on your processes and documentation for the July show. I'm slightly hesitant about doing this though, as I'm sure you'll agree, the process is equally if not more important. Anyway, I think what's best is to meet on Thursday so you can give a better picture of how you would like the work curated and how much work there will be to display. Shall we say 11am at Spoon opposite Old College?
