Surface Gallery meeting
We discussed the progress of how the exhibition was coming along in terms of the artwork, statements, floor plan, technical requirements and the gallery handout.

Many artists require digital technology, which can be loaned from the university but because the month of May is a busy time in terms of degree students needing equipment, we may have to bring our own or negotiate.
I have written a list of all the equipment we will need and emailed it to the head technician Fred. Both Cat and I will have to do a risk assessment for the equipment and the way in which it is set up in the Surface Gallery.

In terms of altering the gallery space, there isn’t going to be much change.
For my video installation I will need wooden walls adding in to the space, but apart from that the only wood work we may need are plinths, which can be brought and produced at the university or Phil the Surface Gallery technician will help to produce them.

We are writing a separate press release and sending this to all of our contacts, including the Nottingham Evening Post, Nottinghamshire Today and the Left Lion listings website.

Final Curatorial Statement
Art for change encourages the advancement of progressive social change by using art as a catalyst for disseminating information to people. Within art, change is cyclical, and one expects circumstances to recur, this formation can bring about notions of timelessness and repetitiveness.
In society changes take place due to gradual modifications in mindsets and beliefs or suddenly through revolutions. Societies, which do not follow this path, have changes thrust upon them by forces beyond their control.
Transition can be a familiar or unfamiliar situation amongst life, whether through the visual material or by audience interaction, disconcerting our categories of perception, moving the senses, or misinterpreting the rules. Evolving, manipulating and promoting the avenue of change, either functional or non-functional. Change is random, lacking direction or arrangement leading to unpredictable outcomes.
