Preparation for the exhibition began on Thursday 22nd, where we printed large format images before mounting them on freshly painted boards. We decided to attach our artwork with simple tack pins at both ends, then secured the pieces with double sided Velcro for a flat, smooth finish.
As we were each designated 4 sides of the boards each we were able to display a range of different sized pieces. I went for 2 A1 prints, with a selection of smaller prints grouped together.
The day of exhibition kicked off with a meeting and greeting from Wayne Hemmingway as well as an official 'opening', and later a talk from Wayne about his Beach Pod design experience.
Below are photographs of the exhibition space, which was a neat little room equipped with a kitchenette and large balcony - where we spent most of the day, as well as our day time entertainment from the festival that was happening on the beach.
The aim of this event was to combine culture with the newly designed Boscombe Beach Front, and to help push sales of the beach pods themselves. As you can see the pictures aren't that great, as these pods definitely weren't designed for an exhibition space, so it was more of a 'quick look and move on', than 'stand and admire' sort of event.
However I managed to sell a couple of prints and found the overall experience of setting up my own personal exhibition really insightful, I feel that I have gained more confidence and knowlegde with how to set up my future exhibitions, including the things that take up your time i.e, mounting and cutting etc.
