Blank Media- More Progression

So I felt the meeting today was a great experience and we have all learnt a lot from it. Firstly it was a great experience to show our work off to people other than our tutors or each other, it definitely gave me a lot more confidence to do something like that again, and secondly I think we all learnt a lot about how to actually go about organising an event like this.

 The one problem we came across was money issues, this afternoon I spoke to Chris in Hotspur who seems really interested to get involved and try to help us. He mentioned that photography students don’t have a place to exhibit there work at the moment and that if we collaborated with them we may be able to get the space with funding from the university, he then contacted Jane McFadyen and she seemed keen to think about funding. Today I have emailed her myself so she knows who to contact about Blank Media and the possibilities there.

I think that now it’s a case of waiting and speaking to Kate a bit more about collaborating with other courses and seeing what happens. After talking to Chris in Hotspur today I realised that even if we do end up exhibiting in Hotspur House for our Exhibition and we don’t go with the blank media idea, its ok because we are exploring our options and not just stopping when someone says its not possible, we are trying to find out ways that we can achieve what we want for the exhibition but coming across obstacles along the way, its an exciting learning curve but wont be such a shock if we want to do this kind of thing when we leave University!
