For our sceond year exhibition, we are presenting in Pete Spowage gallery in Nottingham, which will be a show of all 19 students from my seminar group this term. We chose the name 'No system, No method' based on the brief we were given at the start of the year. The flyer and poster designs were done by one of the students in our group, Ollie.
As the venue is fairly small, we have around 1 meter each of wall space, which will be a challenge but will allow me to think critically about the work i want to put into my exhibition and choose what will be best.
My initial plan is to have a few wall prints A2 size, and have them layed out in a vertical line down the wall.
I am planning to use these 4 images on the wall in my exhibition. I believe that as a collective they sum up the culture behind this type of sport, it is not all about the skills and the action, but the lifestyle.
I am also planning to make a book, to display alongside the prints. In the book I am going to use most of the successful images I have produced throughout this project, in order to showcase an even wider range of photography, and perhaps to tell a story about this type of sport. The book will allow people to see even further into this lifestyle.
In order to display the book closely with the print, I am also planning to add a white floating shelf to the display. We have been told by the gallery owner that we are allowed to use anything we need to, in order to put up our display, such as screws, nails, glue etc... so the floating shelf will not be a problem in that aspect. I decided that I would like to use a white shelf, to keep the display looking simple, clean and minimalist, as this is the type of style that I like the most. Also using a floating shelf with no brackets or visible fixtures will help to keep the clean, simple appearance of my display.
