I found the student show to be exciting. Having a hand in the production of the gallery was, also exciting and rewarding because the time and effort could better be appreciated. There is a lot that goes on behind the scenes to make the end result a wonderful experience.
Preparation of the walls, floor, pedestals are what some may seem to be a given but it is truly important. The intake and documentation are crucial to everything going smoothly, and then of course the handling and placement of each piece.
The gallery structure is, what it is, and by comparison a pretty nice venue for students and artists overall, in my opinion. In conversation with some people that have been around for some time it has evolved to a much nicer area. And in time should continue to evolve (time will tell).
Anyway. The juror naturally has a hard job to do and it is one that I would not really like to take on, thankfully there are those with the stamina to embrace that work, thank you Glueklet.
After all the prepatory assignments hanging and getting the last of it together it was eye opening to see the production ready to be shown, very nice to see these pieces in the gallery. There was a tuxedo affect, in other words , if a person saw it in class critique, at the hands of the artist, or you personally had a negative feeling about a piece the gallery, the lights, and the overall presentation made everyone's art pop. The show was outstanding.
Good job by all.
