I have begun to experiment with designing leaflets. I’m using a floor plan of our studio space, which will be where we display our work, as a cover design. The leaflets will be presented as a guide to the show and I’m also playing with instructions and rules that will go in the leaflets. I’m trying to use what I observed of people’s actions in the National Gallery to come up with rules that exaggerate element’s of people’s behaviour. For example, ‘please be sure to nod and smile at each piece of work’.
I have also thought about how the gallery is separate from the outside world, and have created rules related to this, such as, ‘please remove your shoes’. I am going to come up with lots of different rules and instructions and play with different combinations and ways of phrasing them.
Elsewhere, we haven’t really done much more with planning our show. We still haven’t got a title, hopefully that issue will be solved next week. I haven’t thought too much about which objects to choose as representation of my practice for the ante-chamber room. Probably lots of maps, gallery guides and books about the gallery.
