COLLABORATION- EXHIBITION INFOMATION
(My name on the poster is under my alias Field Mousie)
This poster was designed by a friend of the team who had done other promotional posters from some of the artist showing in the exhibition before. The idea was print out this poster and put it around areas in south east London. The ‘I see it’ featured on the bottom of the poster is something that people can tear off and have for themselves. A website was also designed because the exhibition is in a sense like a scavenger hunt. In order for people to find the exhibition they needed to enter the website and sign up with heir email and telephone number. On the morning of the exhibition clues are given out to set people on the right path. There is also an emergency number just in case people couldn’t understand of find the clues, but me and the team decided to make it as obvious as possible so there wouldn’t be any confusion.
Here is the like to the website :
As the exhibition has now ended the link o the website will no longer have the sign up sheet – it will come up with ‘where you right? alluding to if the participants in the exhibition found the right location.
This is a short description of the exhibition :
Have you ever had it when you walk down the street and this feeling takes over, as though you’re suddenly subject to a much larger force. You feel your chest lift, heart expand – and then the signs appear. They guide you; they are you. There is this coherence and expansion – a complete, drunken awareness that you’re alive and present and not alone. The surrounding air feels pregnant with possibility. Synchronicities come to awareness. Thought and feeling collapse into one another. You are part of a network, led by the heart. I guess we’re nosy. We started off by wanting to see how others see in response to how we do. Then it evolved. A thread of symbols started to emerge from the works – building an insight into different world views and sacredness .
Sacredness oozed out of every corner of our artists’ work. We realised how important it is to value those gaps in everyday reality. Those moments of observation that permeate the day with wonder and joy. This never intended to be an exhibition. It’s a world-peeping, world-building pursuit – all we wanted was to play, dipping into the divine. Surrendering to a flow without rigidity and too much direction. There intentionally little written about it – because it’s centred on feeling, not thinking. Our only wish is that you too start to see the heart-shaped rock.
For the exhibition I was also asked to create a sound piece for the promotion video. I had already been working on the sound for the installation so I used a 40 second extract and manipulated it slightly. The team said they wanted some water sounds within it, because the exhibition is based around these 4 big water features which have taps with running water in them that then pours out of the side of them into a griddle below. I found a recording I had taken of a stream in north Wales and deiced that it would be fitting for the piece.
Here is the extract that I sent to the team. From this extract they have made a short promotional video.
Here are the clues to the scavenger hunt that I helped design. These clues got sent out to the participants at just before the exhibition started. I also trailed this hunt 4 times to make sure that it worked and made sense.
This is what I was handing out at the front desk to anyone who came to the exhibition. It sows the exhibitors names, the title of their work and if their work Is for sale.
