Atrium Gallery at St James Hospital

We have been give a large wall space at St James Hospital called the Atrium Gallery. Fine art 2nd year has been split into 4 groups to Curate, market, fund raise and to look after the logistics. I am one of the curators we have the task of decideing what goes in a where it goes. The Audience for this space is very intresting as it is primarily a none Art audience consisting of Patients and the visitors and hospital staff. For this reason and due to it being a hospital we are limited and have a criteria for the content of the work shown here. We are not alouded for example images of death or glamore. However none of the work has been made with the hospital as its intended audience so i think the exhibition may not work to well in its location. I think there will be an intrest in what is there and many people will enjoy it and come down to see it but i dont think they will relate to it as it has just been plonked in there.

  1. Hi everyone, Louisa here. I will be in Berlin this week and so I won't see you, although I will still be looking at your blogs. I wondered if anyone from REM or STIMPY would like a quick tutorial (15 mins)with me on the Monday before the deadline, the 11th, to tie up loose ends regarding your work and your submission for the module, or just for a general chat about your project. I am available all day from 10 till 5.
    If you would find this useful, email me on lmp.audiences@yahoo.co.uk with a time that would suit you.
