Presentation

Part Four – Presentation and Outcome

Presentation

Make some notes on possible venues for your work to be displayed. How could these enhance or heighten the viewed experience?

I have been thinking of places where I could display my work. As my work is following a local pilgrimage, a local venue would be perfect. I did think perhaps of exhibiting at one of the churches, as they often hold art or local events. I also thought about exhibiting where the pilgrimage ultimately ends, which is at St. David’s cathedral. The issue I can see is that as these are religious building, they may not like the gender inequality angle my images are looking at. So these locations may be off limits. But I think a local tally or hall would be great, especially in St. David’s itself. 

As far as presentation goes in a gallery, I was thinking of large prints displayed on clear walls. The other idea that came to me was using the original collages, so the viewer can really get the feeling and see the details in the process. Hopefully it would feel more ‘real’ and authentic instead of seeing a print of the collages. 

I believe exhibiting my work locally will heighten the viewers experience, as it will create a connection to our community. The images will show places that they know and possibly have visited before and it can get them thinking. Displaying in a small gallery will create a more intimate close feeling. So hopefully the viewers will not be overwhelmed. I think using the original collages will be better as it can show the work and authenticity.
