Curating & installing a group sculpture exhibition

Two days before the private view and we arrived with the work we were to display (and some we won't; curation is a form of editing... less is more!).

The space seemed to have halved in size; what was acres of room to fill suddenly looked overcrowded. Pieces of work that previously looked massive found their space and looked at home. An immediate lesson to take back to CityLit is the importance of seeing your work outside the confines of the studio.



Now with one day to go, and no one has yet lost their temper, broken anything or been anything but calm. Enormous thanks got to Andrew & Annie who have helped us loads with their experience and expertise in the process of getting this show 'out there'*.
