Week 10 Developing the Exhibition Layout, Budget, and Artwork Selection
👁Exhibition Layout Design
(Proposed curtain installation layout for Endless Circulation, The Dundas Street Gallery. Designed by Xiaobao Ye, 2026)
In the space at The Dundas Street Gallery, I designed a circuit with curtains for visitors to walk around a circular frame, guiding them to walk a full circle during the visit of the exhibition.
Looking back at the collective curatorial plan, I realised that comparing spaces helped me understand the practical limits of my own project. In the collective curatorial project, we planned around eight artworks within the In Vitro Gallery, a space of approximately 8.5 x 6 metres. My chosen gallery, The Dundas Street Gallery, is slightly different in proportion at around 7.5 x 9.5 metres, but not necessarily larger in practical terms. Part of the gallery will be used for a final interactive area, and the curtain structure of the circular layout will also take up space. Because of this, I think a realistic number for my exhibition is around six works.
👋🏼New art work selection
Circle Line (2026)
Lizaveta Khikhlushka
Lizaveta Khikhlushka is a visual artist based in London. Her art, Circle Line, asks a question——What if Circle line was actually a circle?
It depicts a train travelling in a loop and the Circle Line itself as a loop, with pedestrians trapped within it. I chose this as the 6th art for my SICP Endless Circulation.
🌍Exhibition Layout Map
Based on the existing artworks, I have completed the exhibition layout map. It guides visitors from a physical circuit, step by step, into a more abstract theoretical circuit.
