My 2 day experience of the abyss exhibition.

Day – 1

The first daily exhibition we arrived at the North same wine bar at 10 o'clock as a group to just go over some final detailing like checking and sound effects. This also give us chance to make sure that our space was to our liking and that we were ready to prepare and be opened to the public. as I personally sat there as first space that you entered as you came down the stairs of Purgatory I had all sorts of mixed feelings just before we opened a narrow opening time was 11 AM. Which are praising the almost immediately provoked then we had many students come into our exhibition this seemed overwhelmed because of the sound and the darkness that they were walking into I myself was deathly feeling the pressure and the needs of heart in to speak to these people. I gave them a clipboard and on the clipboard with sheets are categorised name date time email address and signature I asked him to sign in, first they seemed a little confused and I even had one person ask if this was the exhibition, differently told under the yes it was and it was a part of the exhibition space. This made me feel very near us in my first fear the people wouldn't grasp the idea of my work. But they did so and sat down and I could see them pouring through my magazines and as they looked around they seemed slightly overwhelmed about what was surrounding them. After the first four people had come through our doors I felt slightly more at ease and quite surprised how many people were willing to give me as much information as I had asked for my contact sheet. As time went on by at 1145 we had had 17 people in I personally was chuffed at the amount of interest that we had for our exhibition but by 11:45 I became extremely near us knowing that my lecturers were on their way. By 10 to 12 hour lecturers were coming through the door, instantly needs correcting stress panic among other emotions how they would react to MySpace alone never mind the rest. But the pit of my stomach I knew that our exhibition worked well because we all led on to each other's spaces mine was the waiting the approach of death and confessing your sims with a timely and almost wanting sound that get killed through the hall and that's how I saw our exhibition space. So I calmly handed my clipboard and to the lecturers and asp into signing and once they had signed in hiding calmly told them that they needed to take seat within the waiting area. Once again panic as I saw my lectures leaning in to have a look at the magazine covers that I had placed within MySpace as they were planning are part I felt an almost immediately need to go over asked them not to but I contain myself in panic and stuck to reading my books that were on my desk. From there then I ascertained that they could move on and experience the rest of the exhibition as they walked past me a sale relief. After they had had a look around the entire exhibition they gather dust and asked if we could go upstairs and have a quiet word panic once again thinking that possibly we had done something wrong or that they disliked it. But it was only a short interval where they asked us a few questions aboutand if we think that it worked and we will also pulled up on a few health and safety and location issues, where it was pointed out that it may become difficult for students to actually locate the exhibition from there then we put up a few more posters outside of the bar come into the bar and at the top of the stairs where the exhibition was problem solved. The second issue that was brought up was there were no warning signs about the stairs with stairs had had rubble on them which was to give that 80 feeling of adding to the atmosphere that they were coming into which I'd make sure that there were no physical stones on the actual steps to norm would hurt themselves but there was no warning which is a hazard so we also quickly created a sign that we stuck at the top of the stairs and at the door stating warning caution of stairs which then I felt more comfortable about. The lecture seemed quite happy overall of our work and then moved on to the next exhibition. By 1:30 we had had a complete summary of 40 people come into a exhibition space. As time went on I felt more and more comfortable speaking people and tell them what to do and it was surprisingly how fast time actually flew by. But by 2 o'clock myself and my group decided that we needed a break purely because the atmosphere the cold and because of Ole’s sound that was echoing around the vault that we could not take it any more. Which I think is a good thing that we had created such a strong atmosphere dogma once we had come upstairs it was a whole different thing the light sort of the reality that we were facing of the spaces were completely different and myself personally and I know within my group we were quite happy that we had accomplished one of our main goals. We went back again by 3:30 to continue on with our exhibition by this point I must admit I was very tired but was still hoping for more people to arrive and exhibition. In my personal area I found a number of people with asthma in the time we would tell them that I did not know the time which I had made sure did not work but found a number of people were looking at their phones. And also while sat down there feelings as people that visited our exhibition I noticed a number of them took a number of the leaflets to understand work which again myself and my group were quite happy with and that is quite diffuser students that came understood my work and quite happily looked through the magazines which I think really did help them grasp a little better what they were doing sitting in a waiting room. And also I noticed that I have mentioned before in number of posts that high have decided to our display to magazines on the chairs in forcing the people to look at the titles to help them understand the space but with the cup diet placed into MySpace was either moved or sat upon, and must omit this did annoy me slightly but it made me aware how people can be so arrogantly blind to the simplest things in their surrounding areas. I think I can only account for three people that actually sacked on the other side to the coat and realising that the space had been taken. By 5 o'clock I was extremely tired and so was my group we had chosen to close by 5:30. Thanks to my signing in sheet we were able to carry up how many people throughout our first day of our exhibition had come through our doors and worked out as 62 people had visited our exhibition space and when I had to hold my group this they were static and personally saw Zoe that our first day we had had Sony people and to the point where we had three students came back three times and each time brought more people with them because they personally loved our exhibition so much and that for me meant that we had exceeded at the site-specific project and myself are my group had worked very hard to create this hellish atmosphere they think that we did so well and I must admit that I am personally sinning by being proud of myself and I know my group are as well.
