12.0 Appendix IV: Practitioner 3 interview
1. Where did you see the call for PBB?
Justin forwarded on an email sent to him.
2. Why did you apply for PBB?
It seemed to fit generally into the field that I work in for research and I think
that was more or less it. I also liked the graphics on the call so visually it made
me apply.
3. What about the brief made you think your work was appropriate?
The visual aspects of it obviously cornered the research that’s going on, it
seemed generally quite broad.
4. What did you expect to get out of the exhibition?
To be quite blunt about it I like to apply for exhibitions that my work fits into it
gives my work some focus and a deadline to get work completed to.
5. Who did you expect to be in the exhibition?
Probably some of the usual suspects that work in this area. I would expect Geoff
Mann to be there and he was there were a few surprises. The exhibition was
much broader than I thought but the usual suspects - some were there and some
were missing.
6. Was there someone you expected to be in the exhibition that
wasn’t?
Maybe a few from the craft scene Gordon Burnett might have been expected to
have some pieces in and Ann Marie Shillito perhaps. It was good to see a bigger
breadth than is normally seen at these exhibitions.
7. Was there anyone in the exhibition you were surprised by?
I can’t remember all the names but I was surprised by how broad the exhibition
was from very conceptual art to media based pieces.
8. Did the exhibition live up to your expectations?
