Brydie - Planning for presentation

My work will be presented either on the floor or on a small table or corrugated cardboard podium. I want to present a few pieces of work as in the past people seemed to think of my work as momentary experiences, each one with differences but also with a similar feel and aesthetic. I may incorporate props into the work to define the area as a domestic space such as a rug or maybe small lights or lamps above the work as I like the cinematic aspect this brings to the work. It is important to my work that the viewer as able to walk right around it and experience it in real space so I think I will have to look for somewhere else to present that has adequate floor space as I am in a small and crowded studio area.

What I have understood from people’s reactions to the work so far is that it is fairly approachable and accessible and as I do not have a political agenda to do with gender I am interested in the viewer bringing fresh ideas to the work. I don’t think that too much backup material needs to be provided to appreciate the work.

In terms of research and documentation I think I will present all of my photographs combined with the semesters tasks in book format. This should make the work easily and quickly accessible to viewers and enables it to become part of the presentation, and not solely documentation of my process.

My intentions have not changed from those which I presented last week and opportunities to personify and give gender to objects seem to keep presenting themselves in all sorts of situations.
