A Bit More But Excuse the grammar guys!!

challenge the dominance of the artist, in no way did we consider this as an opportunity for commercialism but used the participation as an medium the results of which are the data. We find data from the art as oppose to producing art from data but a twist on this scenario is a further production of a visual from the collaborative exhibition at Space 109.


Ok am losing the will to live TBContinued tomorrow

Our exhibition opened to find the gallery filled with people all taking part in the work, this was extremely rewarding to see and supported our desire for participation in our work which in turn became part of the process towards an end product or result, it was exciting to see people genuinely seeming to enjoy the concept it reiterated our discussions about audience engagement and closed the space between artwork and spectator. The viewer is transposed from its usual status by not just being involved but takes on the role of completer as without the results of the exhibition the work cannot progress.This also brought to mind an artist we had uploaded onto the blog and the exhibition by Yoko Ono ‘Between The Sky and My Head’ which involved audience participation, sensitive works which

Adding to the blurb only an outline to be tweaked, just to get the bulk down

difficulties with communication and her not using the blog ended up close to deadline date without a venue, gathering for a meeting with our manager we had to take the issue into our own hands
With time being short we had to draw on organisational and imaginative skills, we had to consider every possible option from using outside space to libraries as we felt that using the white space at YSJ was taking the easy option. We found that more than one of us took on the role of completer finisher and we adapted to the pressures put upon us. We were finding more and more the practice of working together made us a stronger unit not wanting to let one another down in any way and a desire to work at our optimum level of achievement.
The good news came that we were indeed able to exhibit at Space 109, this is when we had to step up a gear which was a group decision and when the blog came into it’s own with images, flyers, programmes being designed we were able to keep in full contact with one another.
We delegated work amongst ourselves co-ordinating the work load so we all had a fair amount of work considering the logistics of other commitments maybe if Tara wants to mention something here about difficulties then ……..fill this space.

With only a few days left to exhibition invites were being sent out using virtual and paper methods, anxiety set in but we found that it was at different levels at differing times amongst us so we were able to support one another when needed. On exhibition day a group meeting first thing was the proverbial deep breath the calm before the storm other modules had to take precedence.
With our satisfaction that other work was finished we set off to Space 109, only one of us had seen the space previously so we wouldn’t know what to expect. with an all hands on deck approach we focused on what had to be done and did so with minimal commotion or fuss, proving that there was a good working relationship between us at a time when things could really become very stressful support from one another was again apparent.

Update

Hey guys on the way home Charlie and I were thinking that during presentation while someone was talking thir bit, the others of us could hold/reveal the colour of who was talking.
I think this could work if we were wearing black only, have a think and add/change. The more ideas we have the better. I will try to add more to the document tonight and post.

Leo: July 23 - August 22

Leo’s brightest star is Regulus, Latin for “little king,” which describes perfectly this sign’s approach to life. Leos are natural leaders and performers who expect the best from themselves and others. Like the sun, which governs this sign, Leos are warm-hearted, direct, and most comfortable being at the center of things. Luxury and comfort are considered necessities for a Leo, and are shared generously with friends. When their fiery temper is aroused, their “roar” can be deafening, but passes just as quickly with no lingering resentment. Proud and self-confident, Leos are excellent managers and entrepreneurs, and their energy and enthusiasm are a ray of sunshine to all.
Aries: March 21 - April 20

The first sign of the Zodiac, Aries symbolizes new beginnings. Arians tend to be aggressive and direct in expressing themselves, and are happiest when they can get something started and lead the way. Their key phrase is "I am." Ruled by the planet Mars, this fire sign is adventurous, impulsive and full of energy. When first meeting the "ram," one's impression is of someone who's exciting, vibrant and extremely talkative. Arians happily offer their opinions on any and all topics, naturally migrating toward the center of the action. When associating yourself with an Aries, you are destined for a wild ride, if in fact you can keep up with their pace.
Sagittarius: November 23 - December 21


Sagittarians are energetic and naturally outgoing, achieving each goal through positive thinking. These "archers" seek knowledge and wisdom and never tire of the quest for what is yet to come. Challenges keep a Sagittarian's spirit thriving, and once met, a target is set for the next goal, and the next. Astrologers believe that being born under this fire sign gives Sagittarians the gift of providence - that luck protects them. Under the jovial rule of Jupiter, they make for charming and agreeable companions. Their key phrase is "I see." Never dwelling on what has happened today, a Sagittarian constantly believes that something wonderful will happen tomorrow. Sagittarians have such a zest for life that they make you want to hang on with them and enjoy the ride.
