Week 13 asks for the following prompts to be completed…

1. In what ways do you hope your creative exploration is received by its audience?

I hope audiences do understand the lore between the Codans and the Arbors. When looking at the exhibition, I was worried that if audiences did not read the didactics, that they would be lost.

However, I genuinely hope our audience feels captured and drawn to the digging box. There is something so childlike and playful about our exhibiting that I hope it reminds our audience of trips to science works or other children’s museums.

In addition, selfishly, I hope they notice and appreciate the consistency across the exhibition, especially in Connors posters appearing in Dani’s sandbox. This was particular satisfying to see made, so I hope viewers notice.

2. If you were to distribute your work – to a festival, market, vendor, exhibition – what two things would you change, and why?

In museum curation, I feel the space is very important. Although we did the best we could, I would choose a space which was dark and smaller to really cup the exhibition and make it feel whole and complete. I feel the open-ended space of the hallway we were in made our work feel sparse.

Moreover, I would project the colour visuals down across the floor as I feel this would embed audiences in the work and create the “overlay as a connector between the works” appearance we were aiming for.

3. Reflect on your collaboration for Assessment 4. How did it go? What would you do differently next time, and why?

I was very pleased with the team’s collaboration in assignment four. I was very lucky to find teammates with similar working styles and interdisciplinary thinking as myself which made conversing very easy. I tend to be dragging team members through collaborative work, so to have teammates who were not only organised but excited about the work was really refreshing.
