Today we had an exhibitions exercise aimed at preparing us for the eventuality of our degree show exhibition where we were asked to exhibit a piece of current work in order to prepare us for the degree show. I exhibited a piece of audio that I had been working on and exported this as an mp4 file, and played this from a speaker situated in a plinth which stood in front of a still from the film. After being ridiculed on a whole for what was a shambles of an exhibition with sounds leaking into one another and placement not thought out, we were then grilled on our individual exhibits, which thankfully went a lot better.
My only criticism of this process was that whilst I received no essentially negative feedback my soundpiece which was the intended focus of the piece was relatively ignored in favour of how the piece was exhibited, with the plinth and cheaply printed photograph gaining most remarks, which were oddly complimentary considering the little effort put into them compared to their audio counterpart.
