Opening night

 Personally, i thought the opening night was very successful, as not only was we happy with the outcome of our exhibition, but also the amount of people who turned up made the night extremely enjoyable. Seeing everyone appreciate the hard work we had done, was such a lovely feeling and defiantly made me think more into becoming a curator.

Although we thought about getting a book or presenting a questionnaire for the audiences feedback on the exhibition, we decided that the most effective way to get feedback would be to talk to the audience. Therefore, the group and I discussed different questions to the audiences over wine and refreshments. This made the audiences experience a lot more enjoyable, rather then making them feel pressured to answer questions.

I spoke to John Wiggly who gave some great feedback on both what was good and how we could of improved the exhibition. He commented on how he loved that we had explored different ways of presenting the artists work and how he really couldn't fault one thing. However he did suggest that we could have moved the vaginal light (by Iiona Sikita) above the hair piece on the other side of the wall. I completely agreed with John after he explain the relation through the pubicness of the hair. However due to the artist having to spend half and hour installing the piece, it was not an option to keep trying the piece out in different locations around the room.

The feedback the rest of the group consisted of comments such as:

"It was definitely different viewing an exhibition in the dark"

"I felt like i wanted to turn it off because it was to upsetting to listen too"

"That projection thing was gross"

We were so happy with the feedback we got and the suggestions that were made on the opening night, as everything people mentioned was took into great consideration. Overall i was so pleased with the whole experience. Working with other people and listening to their ideas would have to be my favorite part of this module, as it has really made me think of ways in which i can display my own work. I've loved every minute of it creating my own exhibition and it has defiantly made me think about my future and whether or not i would be interested in becoming a curator.
