Curatorial project space.

Progressing from the priorities that I have identified in previous posts, I have identified 3 semi-local spaces that would be able to house the exhibition. As well as the appearance of the space I also selected these spaces with a focus on accessibility, engagement, and feasibility.

At this point in my research, the best candidate is the Strange Field exhibition space at 109 French Street, Glasgow. As can be seen from my mind map, the space has large windows offering the space a natural light (but additional lighting could be hired to compensate for indeterminate consistency of sunlight, and from an accessibility standpoint this would also be ideal to assist visually impaired with navigation of the space). Natural light will organically compliment the natural inspiration to the work, as well as step away from the traditional windowless gallery space. The windows can create the issue of limiting wall space, however, temporary stands/walls could be developed to secure art pieces. Strange Field also has a history of working with ecologically focused artists, with Molly Wickett, identified in my previous Artist Identification blog post, exhibiting recently within this space. Finally, Strange Field has commitments to embedded accessibility and offering opportunities to early-career artists and curators. Hence this space is suited to my thematic and ethical requirements, while also being a feasible location for my project to take place.

Finally the industrial style space may lend itself to creating a similar atmosphere to to the Milk of Dreams exhibition that I discussed in Week4 – Project Space: Decolonising the White Cube – Harry Mayston / Curating (2024-2025)[SEM2].
