Exhibition Refinement

Map: There should be a map for the different works in the exhibition, these normally accompany an exhibition. 

 - Thinking about how to present, having a more simple layout could work better, not wanting to over complicate anything.
 - Thinking the map could have a folding mechanism similar to catalogue to provide consistency, the audience would then also have to interact with this in order to navigate.

 - Don't want the audience to have too many things from the exhibition, catalogue, sticker booklet and map. Could combine sticker booklet and map. This way you get a single publication to go around the exhibition with and a secondary one to take home if you wish. 





Experimenting with more simple map layout, then have edges fold to meet in centre to tell you about the works.

Testing these idea out:

> need to print to physically test.


> The folding mechanism didn't work, the text was too large on one side you couldn't read everything. 



> Thinking something like this could work better, where the user folds the paper into the centre fold on one page. 
 - This would allow the text on the right hand page to be longer and still function. 


MAKE ALTERATIONS AND TEST THIS





> Much more successful, they line up well, and it's much easier to navigate.
> Had to change some of the pages (sticker ones) to make sure there were enough pages to be a booklet.
> These pages could do with some fine tuning, the randomly placed text works well as making the eye jump around the page, but feel it could be refined to have the same effect but fir a grid system.































EXHIBITION:
  • Presenting Fluxus works (list in publication and on previous blog)
  • Employs rules for the audience to follow that restricts their movement, making them more aware of what their body is doing (the rules are enforced by invigilators). The audience is only allowed to stand still on a circle in the exhibition.
  • Audience has the opportunity to document their experience in the exhibition through placing stickers where prompted to do so.
     - This allows the audience to become a piece of performance art in itself, thinking back to quote: ‘Shigeko Kubota, Yoko Ono, Mieko Shiomi, and Alison Knowles all collaborated on performance-based works. ’These Fluxus artists believed that the acts of preparing food, marrying, smiling, playing games, or rustling a newspaper were forms of “social music,” making life itself a ready-made work of art.
  • Over works were there audience participation is involved (Cut Piece, Make a Salad, Licking Piece, and Exit No.8) there is an acrylic dome with a speaker, this pays back audio from the exhibition to the audience, including what they're saying.
     - This brings attention to a secondary element that can only be achieved in person.
