Here is the context of our first draft for the press release. It incorporates all of the vital information such as the artists participating, the groups names, the title, concept, context. I think it is an excellent portrayal of our exhibition and will give the viewer the perfect insight into what we are trying to achieve within our exhibition. However I do think that the date and artists would work better at the beginning just to give the viewer the main details initially as these are perhaps the most important elements of the press release.

Dusk is
falling,
and the
inner world is
gathering
dust, as reality
passes
by. A protective atmosphere
presides
over the grand structure before you;
a
sleeping giant. Through the Ether, you see a silhouette
rise
through the veil; seemingly impassable. A gap reveals itself
to you,
and you enter. Lights beckon, and out of the gloom,
unusual
treasures come into focus, as if only for you. The
thread
of time is distant from your mind as you spend what feels
like
hours in the space of your own thoughts and memories. A ripple
of
material. A pool of crystallised, glittering, unknown depths.
A bird
watches you. You think you are alone. Shadows on the wall
Are just
your own. But the sound is not you... The Collective
are
proud to reveal ‘Through the Ether’,
a show displaying the
beautiful,
unusual and dreamlike state of mind that the artist makes
physical.
Work on show ranges from the most delicate and otherworldly of
dreams,
to the most chemical, textural of realities, in a space purpose-built. Place
one foot in front of the other and step into the world of the Ethereal.

12th – 14th February 2014
This contemporary exhibition by Robert Wilson entitled 'Living Rooms' is exhibited between November 14th 2013 and February 17th 2014 at the Louvre in Paris. The name Living Rooms derived from the idea of transporting both his living and working space to the musuem all the way from the Unites States. As I walked around the exhibition I noticed there was such a wide range of types or art including that of period furniture, Chinese ceramics, contemporary paintings and photographs which seemed to form a collection in itself. I then discovered that Wilson has collected these various pieces over the duration of his career and they form the foundation for his inspiration. This layout of this exhibition seems to explore the artist himself rather than the work as the viewer becomes interested in the ideology behind the chosen pieces and the assemble of them. This exhibition reflects Wilson's daily surroundings and how he wanted to portray his inspiration to society. This exhibition makes use of many different display techniques. It incorporates the use of plinths and suspending work. The walls are painted in a tone of grey which breaks away from the conventional white cube style it also compliments the various pieces of art work which are hung from the wall in an unorthodox manner. I really like the idea of using shelves within the exhibition as it also reflects the title of the show. I think this is an important element to reflect the shows concept within the presentation of the exhibition, and this is something that our group have tried to achieve within our show.
