We went to the Marianne Springer opening the other day. It was really different from the other galleries and openings I've been to since the start of the audiences project. I have some pictures which I'm going to try to upload, and I was also trying to use photoshop to put my own work in the space, but I've realised that I am very terrible at photoshop. so maybe I'll stick to what i know- PAINT! 

Anyway yes, i've uploaded pictures now so thats good! This exhibition was really different from the other, i noticed it was set up in a more commercial way. It was like a shop, and it was clear that selling work was one of the main concerns with the set up. On the desk there was a price list, and it seemed there wasn't much consideration to where the work was placed, and how it might be viewed as a result of that. It seemed as though it was about getting as much work up as possible without looking too crowded on the walls. The audience was completely different to the other two exhibitions, which had attracted mainly a fine art audience. This exhibition had more of a community feel, which made it a lot more friendly, and less intimidating to enter. There were lots of families and children running around. The work itself was illustrations and soft sculptures, i wasn't really used to being able to understand and read works so easily for what it is. I'm used to going into galleries, being confused for a while, and trying to decode and work out what its all about, in here it was quite nice to just look at it and appreciate the work for what it was. I've got to get out of the computer room now- i dont even know what I've written because i haven't read it though... oooooh well
