EXHIBITION: The Book: Materiality and Making

'An exhibition of bookworks by four artists, designers and illustrators who traverse various content, media and contexts. The exhibition focuses on the relationship between the book as a material object and the processes of making the final outcome.'

Working on this module and thinking about context, it is really interesting to see work in the context that the artist has agreed to it being shown in, whether this is the one intended when the work was made or not. It is really interesting to see the work and although this was not a photographic exhibition it was interesting to see how they exhibited not only the final outcome but the process as well, showing the importance of this. The part that really inspired me was actually one of the pieces where the process was shown on the wall with a large range of images, inspiration, experiments etc. It was almost as though they took all of their work from their workbook out and laid it out in such a way so it was all there to see in one go. There were pencil scawlings on the wall to explain what certain parts were which I think worked really effectively. It showed a lot in one go, much like I am interested in with my project, it was almost overwhelming with the amount that was there but it worked so well.
