Meeting with Mona Casey

Thursday 14th December

Today we had our first meeting with Mona to feedback how planning our exhibition is proceeding. At the present we have initially discussed our main ideas as a group such as how our planning and meetings will progress. We discussed that we had individually found potential pieces of artwork that could be involved within our exhibition and it seemed we had all mainly focused on wall based pieces. Mona suggested that we expand our ideas by looking at video, print and sculpture artists which would give our show more variation therefore in our next meeting we will look into broadening our artists. We also discussed using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter to share images of work that interest us and give group feedback over the Christmas break so we do not loose touch with planning our exhibition. This is something we have already set up and so we will continue to regularly interact with each other via our Facebook page- 'Art and Exhibition Janet/John'. Mona also suggested we keep formal documentation of our group meetings through photos and minutes which is also in place. At our next group meeting we will discuss Mona's suggestion and see how these can help to develop our exhibition as a whole.
