First i will discuss the exhibition itself. When i was walking round the gallery my main concern over the artwork (after intial viewing i found it very hard to digest and did not feel that the concept was conveyed very well) was the gallery space itself and how the work had been installed/curated.
Given that the space itself was rather dark there was a small amount of light; both coming from lighting around the room and a small amount of direct daylight which was sourced from the large glass doors at the bottom of the stairs. Although normally this would detract from an exhibtion i felt that this added to it. I also took note of how the pieces were hung/ how projectors were used etc. I noted that through the exhibition projectors used weren't properly hidden ie the wiring was exposed and i felt like the overall finish of the exhibition was weakened by this.
My thoughts on the exhibtion were that i found it very hard to understand as i felt that the concept was not clearly conveyed, and that the exhibition itself was not coherent.
However all was not lost...
Whilst there we had a chat with a girl who was a commitee member of Transmission, and she recommended some exhibitions for us to visit. Amoungst these were The Glue Factory and Tramway which proved to be my favourite exhibitions, so Transmission wasn't too bad afterall!
