On Tuesday I was at the NGA event at the Q club. I could review the work, which was all very good, especially this work by Chris Hodson (who also has a blog about his work and is a member of B-VAC), but instead I’ll talk a little about the venue itself.
It sucks as a gallery/viewing space.
Hmm, maybe that might’ve been a big harsh, so I’ll rephrase: The building wasn’t used to its full potential and for me it distracted me from the artwork on show. Most of the time I was trying to find my way around and many of the rooms were off limits. This wouldn’t have been a problem, except that the many signs were confusing. I think the venue would’ve worked a lot better if all of the rooms were used, so that the exploration of the building actually had more of a reward. Instead we were given a map. I hate maps, mostly because I can’t follow them.
Chris’s works was my favourite, intriguing, humours and would work as a conceptual piece with out being inaccessible. Pulled off seamlessly I really, really want it.
You work was great too, just a shame about the stairs of doooooom! Was great hearing from Danny that the actress had to record her breathing again, imagine that was weird to hear if passing by
Thanks! Thankfully after PV night we put a red lamp in and there (touch wood) have been no more problems. Chara was really ill that day and was alternately snuffling and giggling as the whole thing sounded quite ridiculous and obscene x
