PDP - Hospital Meeting

Today, we got the opportunity to go and be shown, the exhibition place at the Wigan Royal Albert Hospital, where we will be presenting our work. The chosen area was within a long corridor right next to a specialized cancer ward and leading to others. I found that the corridors were very busy having patients and staff continuously using the area to travel through, making it ideal to present work to be noticed by the public. I did notice however that the walls were magnolia and not white, which is professional for galleries to have. This meant I have to think about how to present my work so that the colour of the walls do not inflict the perspective of my work - as the environment as a great impact on how we interpret art as well as the pieces compositions. This meant that I had to enforce a border around my work to separate it perhaps framing my work with a white frame and border within that. 

Apart from the long corridor, there is also the opportunity to exhibit work on near by stairs which has a larger surface area, for bigger work. This would give us a lot more space between our work so that the corridor doesn't appear crowned. This is very important as we all want our work to be seen but also allows our work to breath and stand on its own, without other works interfering. Furthermore, as a team, we need to come away from this, thinking and comparing our works to see how we can complement one another to create an successful exhibition that flows and is easy on the eyes. The whole aim of this show is not just to present our work but giving the patients of the hospital some enlightenment and a place to escape modern concerns whilst connection with the work.
