dialogue exhibiton work

We were given a brief from the 3rd years, they set us a challenge of creating some work that was based around the theme dialogue. 

The objective is to encourage contributions for a week long, non profit pop up print exhibition and shop that will be held at the Leeds Corn Exchange between March 28th and April 4th 2014.
The theme of the exhibition is 'dialogue' where each creative will submit a design that will be used in a blind collaboration. Contributors must be open to their submissions being manipulated through the use of print and the match making process, that will pair the two submissions together. This will create a series of screen-printed artworks that will be displayed throughout the running of the exhibition. 

Submissions can take any form of the theme. It could reflect directly on past conversations, forms of interaction or it could spread further afield to what you think communication is today.




After reading this and doing some research i thought i would look into different conversation and what has changed over time in forms of communication. 



I discovered what the different forms of communication had changed from till this century. From this i created the design shown below. 

I then decide to create another design, this design is based around the fact that the world has become so small due to communication, we can connect to somebody who is on the other side of the world at the click of a button. Not only this but we can fly to the other side of the world faster than ever before to communicate with somebody, again 'the shrinking' of the world.   

This then formed the concept of have a very large plane and and very small world. 

Evaluation

During this project i was able to exhibit my work in a gallery for the first time, not only this but the people who came down to see it were studios and other designers, so it gave me a taste of taking part in a gallery and gave me a chance to talk to other designers. Not only this but we had to take into account that the design was going to be overlapped with something else which was a consideration i had never taken into account before, so working to these strict details was interesting and thought provoking. The brief itself also made me think about communication in another light to what i did before, not just because of my own research and design but also from looking at what other people had done and what there ideas were behind them.
