WEEK 7 BLOG
In the field of art and design, curation is a very important aspect that allows people to better understand the meaning and value of artworks and exhibitions. This week, I focused on finding offline practical opportunities for my curation project. I did several things to promote the progress of this project, including looking for a venue, contacting students and partners, and getting help from my teacher.
Firstly, I looked for a new curation venue on campus because I wanted to try different environments and bring new visual experiences to the audience. Although our college already has a venue that is very suitable for curation, I wanted to challenge myself and explore more possibilities. Last weekend, I found a fantastic classroom in the Old Medical School. It has a very large space, can accommodate and has beautiful scenery, and is located on the top floor of the building. I really like this classroom because it is full of creativity and artistic atmosphere, and I think it is very suitable for me to showcase my curation project. I believe that the uniqueness and aesthetic value of this classroom will attract more audiences.
Secondly, I reached out to some students from the University of Manchester, one of whom is my friend and is studying fashion design. The University of Manchester is renowned for its arts and design, and I hoped that they could support and assist me in the curation process. I believe that working with students from different schools can bring new perspectives and ideas. My friend was very enthusiastic and willing to offer help and support, and we discussed ways to better showcase my curation project. I also benefited greatly from his professional knowledge.
The third thing is that I have contacted my partners in the country and obtained from them some of the textile materials that are made of plastic and formed into fabric through a complex chemical process, and I will continue to discover how to make them a part of my curatorial work.
The third thing I did was to contact my partners and obtained some plastic textile materials from them, which were formed into fabrics through complex chemical processes. I have been exploring how to apply these materials to my curation project. These materials have excellent ductility and malleability, and can form different shapes and structures through various techniques. I believe that these materials can bring new visual effects and artistic value to my exhibition, while also increasing people’s attention to sustainable development.
I also have to thank my teacher, Ms. Julie, for helping me search whether there are students from the textile program at the University of Edinburgh who are willing to assist me in the curation process. Although I may not receive a response, I am very grateful for the help provided by Ms. Julie.
