​Installation & Curation

The group exhibition was a great opportunity to get even more in touch with the other master courses. I found out about the group exhibition very late and was the last participant to join after another person canceled. It was a great experience to present my work outside of the university and to get a lot of feedback from both exhibitions.

The gallery was very well organised and provided us with a floor plan. Laura Porter distributed us to places that could of course be discussed again. Since you weren't allowed to drill holes in the wall, we secured our work with D-rings and hooks and helped each other install our work.

Reception and Feedback

Most visitors came to the private view on Tuesday. I got into conversation with a lot of people, which was great, and shared my thoughts and ideas about the work. What surprised me was that most of them wanted to know what the relationship between the two characters was. This emotional perspective in the search for an explainable relationship hadn't been such a big factor for me until then. Questions arose about the different proportions of the two bodies and whether one was oppressing the other or where they were dissolving towards. If it is a moment in a development or evolution then what is the final state? It made me very aware of how important a story or narrative thread is behind the work. The feeling of metamorphosis and dissolution was an integral part of the composition for me, but it seemed that people were dissatisfied when there was no explainable end in sight to the development.
