On Monday 14th, we went down the gallery space, arranging it with the owner, so that everyone could come down and choose where they wanted to go. We marked out the walls with sticky notes saying how big each space was, so it was easier for people to decide and work out what they wanted. Due to some peoples work being so large, we had to allocate spaces to them as there was not many places that they could go, for example one girl is doing four A0 prints, so there was only one place for her to go.

People came down to the space, or told us on facebook the places that they wanted, so we managed to get a place for everyone, and that everyone is happy with. We put another sticky note up on each wall saying who’s work is there, and also wrote it down in a note book.

We were worried about there not being enough space, but as people were coming in we realised that there was plenty, even though many peoples work is very large.

The first thing we did was go down to the exhibition space in Sun Pier House, to be able to measure every wall and see the available space. We did this by using a tape measure and measuring each area before it had a break in the wall, e.g a plug socket or a pillar. This gave us all the measurements that we then needed for the sketch up of the space. We drew out both the plans for the rooms and wrote down their measurements, breaking them into individual spaces big enough for work to be hung or placed. We marked out where each obstruction was on the walls, like pipes and poles, places that would get in the way of work. Each plug socket as marked down, so we knew where it would be best for videos to go.

When we got back we decided to write down the measurements of A0, A1, A2, A3, so we could figure out if certain prints would fit in certain places, ready for when we have everyone come down to the space to decide where they want to go.
