1.

I've started to think about the different ways i could look at this brief, and I've decided to focus on art galleries, and exhibition spaces, and how the work presented related to an audience, and what audience art institutions attract. I think the way something is presented (fixtures, presentation and things) can have a really big effect on how it is viewed by an audience. I always find with my own work, that the presentation of a 'final piece' is a bit half-arsed, last minute and a bit bad really, so i'd like to explore this and hopefully make me think about how to present my own work better.

  1. It might be a good idea to test out how your work would look if you use different ways of presenting it. You could then reflect on this and use images to illustrate these reflections. David Byrne is interested in how things are presented. See http://www.davidbyrne.com/art/eeei/index.php for his reflecting on PowerPoint as a presentaion tool. I know its not fixures and fittings but I'm making an elipical tack here. I.e. I dont have to always make sense I hope.

  2. hi rachel, i was looking in the library and found a couple of books i thought you might find useful, but you might not. One artist does some really interesting things with string,
    One is by the artist- Jesus Rafael Soto, and the other one is by Lenore Tawney
