Travelling Group Exhibition

Working with two of the new MA group Mark and Debjani towards another postcard exhibition, but involving both groups, and so more international.

Trying to keep it simple and doable, and to get on the same page. After a little debate, we are tending towards Earth.

Earth can be interpreted literally, metaphorically, imaginatively, inventively.

It follows on neatly from the Sun theme of Absolute Magnitude, which is the measure of a celestial object's intrinsic brightness, or an expression of a star’s luminosity.                                                                 

It allows the true brightnesses of objects to be compared without regard to distance.

In the context of the exhibition, Absolute Magnitude allows art to be created without regard to distance, much like the online learning experience.

Earth could be similarly contextualised as and entitled Gravitational Constant, the empirical physical constant involved in the calculation of gravitational force between bodies. In other words, through exhibiting all together we are also exploring the connection and gravitational pull between us as artists.  

There are some logistical arrangements to sort, keeping it simple and doable. I've suggested not revealing to all until everyone has shown again - I think it keeps all those curatorial decisions freer and more diverse and interesting.

This time we will have a sign up sheet and a few more rules of participation!
