I've been thinking of accessible alternative venues/audiences to exhibit art work, when a mate invited me to a drawing session round his. Where else is more accessible than your front room? It's brilliant covering surfaces with paper, bringing in old doors, vegetables and then piling in the art materials. It's a collaboration, with pen's at the ready everyone drawing from one another (no pun intended!) And its interesting to observe as the night moves forward where the drawing takes people, even more so with the bevy's kicking in! What i like most of all is seeing all the blank canvases at the beginning of the night and there is no way of knowing what is going to become of them....
Glad to see that you have started. Several artists have used their flats as small galleries. In Brighton it has evolved into a yearly event. See http://www.24hourmuseum.org.uk/brightonandhove/news/ART62132.html?ixsid=
ReplyDeleteHowever you need to start thinking more theoretically about the issues involved and compare and contrast other spaces and their potential for audience access.
