Wednesdays 10am - 12noon Start Date: 30th September 2015

A hands-on course converting a temporary space into a popup exhibition in response to The British Art Show.

You will develop a toolkit of skills for producing your own exhibitions by working together to produce and select a body of work. The work you produce will be an interpretation of forms, materials, and concepts explored in the work of BAS artists, which participants will identify at the start of the course.

Hands-on

Basic materials are provided with use of the Gallery workshop space. This course involves informal relaxed discussion about the work individually and in groups, as well as making art.

You will consider the sitespecific nature of the exhibition space and learn how to organise the design, installation, promotion and invigilation of the exhibition.

The course will conclude with a private view in the exhibition space.

There will be opportunities to form new friendships, work as a group and create individual work. This course is also suitable for those with some experience.
