The exhibition - part 1

As said earlier, due to time constraints and loads of work to do, I will be doing the updates only in small short and simple posts,huhuhu...

Notes before moving on... ( with commentary by special guest monnie hehehe... )
  • The morning was chaotic ( but we managed to pull it all through in the end and overall it was a success *smiles* )

  • My original camera went *kaput!* days before the exhibition -__-'' ( but thanks to my friend gd for lending his camera to me, I was able to get some photos)

  • Halfway through taking pics during the exhibition night,the battery went *flat!* ( and by the time it was charged again,the event was coming to a close and i had my hands full, which resulted in not many photos taken on the exhibition night *sigh* )

  • Due to *look at previous note* I had to get some photos from friends and others ( so the quality of the pics may differ, sorry bout that... >_< )

  • Some works are not suitable for under 18's,thus i may not include them in this blog, however i do apologise if there were any included that i have not noticed ( imitating joey from friends 'if you know what i mean *smirks* )

  • There were 2 performance arts done that night, one by lemmi and another by angelo. ( But i cannot post this as the video was too heavy and there were some parts not suitable for under 18's as well, so sorry again peeps. )

  • Lastly, a little talk about the theme of the exhibition again ( in case some of you have not read my past post and may have misunderstood the meaning when i mention that our exhibition was called 'One Night Stand' *grins* )

Prior to our exhibition theme, One Night Stand, we have chosen this title in response to making work in a period of 24 hour time base and we wanted to create something fresh, new and contemporary that breaks the traditional rule of having exact measurements and white boards for hanging paintings in an art exhibition. ( in other words we a rebelling the very common art gallery where only paintings were exhibited on perfect white walls and stuff , we wanted to go modern and contemporary,huhuhu...)

The work that we had made was done in a period of two 12 hour days set aside before the actual exhibition, where we had worked non-stop from 9AM until 9PM. No theme was given as we felt that if we had a specific theme, it would give constrictions for the individuals. Thus each member had a different subject that they worked on.

The themes each has done are money, pretty music making machine, superheros, the secret sides of a person, obesity, destruction, sucky blankets, music, phobia and fear, sex and finally love with their respective artists Elspeth, Lemmi, Angelo, Siti (Yours truly), Lucy, Kate, Vicky, Jo, Emma, Gemma and Keeda.

*Ting*

uh-oh, time to go now, huhuhu...

till the next updates, ( this time with pics XD ) exhibition- part 2, don't miss it =D
