10. What could have been done better?
Practitioner 1 I think if we could have had gone in and looked at the space
sooner, maybe, and thought about the projection
Practitioner 2 …the windows were quite tricky… they were too high, so I
made all kinds of decisions in the room, but the one I was in
was ok, but it could have been more precise.
Practitioner 3 I think the venue was not ideal the rooms were obviously
office rooms.
Practitioner 4 I think the space maybe was a little bit tough to work in. It
was a little bit if it could have been a darker space it
definitely would have suited me better. The red light took
away from the atmosphere and it became the atmosphere of
that piece rather than mine.
Practitioner 5 I think it had a major struggle in that it had ‘Lancaster’
next to its name
Practitioner 6 The organisation and installation were faultless and the staff
at folly extremely well organised and professional. Again the
only negative element was the actual space itself.
Following on from the previous question 5 (83%) of the practitioners indicated
the nature of the exhibition space was the one aspect they were not satisfied
with. 1 (17%) practitioner thought the fact the exhibition was in Lancaster and
not a major metropolitan centre was its greatest drawback.
11. In your opinion, what was the strongest work in the exhibition
and why?
Practitioner 1 Penrose Strapping 1, Warp, Flight, Chicken Soup From Mars
Practitioner 2 Wifi Camera Obscura
Practitioner 3 Sheep Jet Head, Holy Ghost
Practitioner 4 What’s Cooking Grandma?, Holy Ghost, Motion in Form
Practitioner 5 What’s Cooking Grandma?, Holy Ghost
Practitioner 6 Holy Ghost, Cyclone.soc
