What happened on Wednesday night?
Well... our client Leeds College of Art had a party to celebrate their 170th year. We were commissioned to design an exhibition for the one night event and a high spec book. Here's how it went down: When we got the brief last year it was clear to see that budget and time related restrictions meant the solution had to be something out of the ordinary. By that I mean because it was on one night, it seemed slightly over the top (not to mention logistically not worth it) to build an exhibition and hang work in the traditional pictures-on-a-wall style. Plus the money available got used up pretty quickly when we explored going down that avenue. So instead, we designed an exhibition of people. People are great for this – they take two minutes to install and take down, they represent the college today and (as an added bonus) they form an exhibit you could have a chat with. So 15 very patient student volunteers obliged to make this idea reality...
