Based on this the decision was made that for the majority of the week we would use the gallery space like a residency, allowing us to work in a space to get a feel of what it would be like for those who are considering of going on to do residencies, as well as showing a option for those who are unsure of what they want to do when it comes to the end of the course.
All the work that was displayed in the exhibition worked really well within the space, there was no conflict with any of the pieces, a main worry when there was three different sound pieces in the same gallery. Despite this factor the sound pieces were able to work together well without any problems with hearing either piece. The “installation” pieces fitted into the space as well, the support pillars of the gallery make natural boxes that “border” each pieces making clearly distinguishable as that piece. This weirdly worked with the skull piece creating a defined barrier for a piece of work that has no definable edge, while some would argue that this would improve the piece there were those who felt that having the pillars in the four corners seemed to add to the piece almost making it seem like this area was a ritual space and the skulls part of the ceremony. Based on the way the skulls were set up they looked rather small in the space, revealing that if the skulls were to be used in this setup more regularly the number of skulls being used would have to be significantly increased to make a stronger impact either through the piles being larger, or the number of the piles being to the point they feel like a swarm that has over taken the room with their morbid nature.
