The End of Year Show!

The show went really well, I'm so pleased with my exhibition space, it looks exactly how I wanted it to. Had a minor panic towards then end when it didn't look as though my plinths were going to be built in time, and then they were all different sizes! But it got sorted and I'm really chuffed.

Many people engaged with my catalogues and some people even took some home which is quite a nice compliment.

There is still room for improvement with this project. There is definatley scope for pushing it further and looking further into the idea of why people collect, the types of people who collect and buy things from car boot sales. And also the idea of these collections becoming a piece of artwork now that so much thought and consideration has gone into their curation.

This is the photograph of my stall that will be on the wall above the objects and their catalogues.

I have now finished the book, and the shelf on which it will sit during the exhibition is currently being made.

Exhibition Space...

This is how I have decided to have my exhibition space for our end of year show. I wanted to exhibit some of the objects but not all of them as I did for the exhibitions at the car boot sales. This way the objects seem to have more worth, and could even be considered to be a piece of artwork in their own right. After all they have been taken to all the car boot sales with me, and some of them are even showing the signs...such as bird poo! They look authentic.

I want the exhibition space to look clean, ordered and professional, which is the complete opposite to how it looked during the exhibitions in the car boot sales.
