Where to start?
This was the proposal made to Andy Stevens Last Thursday and his only real concern was that I don't get too tied up in curating the event and neglect this as an opputunity to show some of my own work. He suggested that I dig deep into the vaults of St Bride's and repurpose some of it within my own work. This sounds a fantastic idea and could mean that I won't have to go near a computer at all for my designs.
Thinking about it, if I managed to plan out the aestetic of the show and the curative information (which appears on the walls) early enough, this maybe a way to incorporate my own work in the show without seemingly comparing my own work to the likes of Alan Kitching (...very daunting thought!) Plus, this would solve any expensive printing costs as all would be pressed my hand.
Plus, if I could be cheeky enough to talk my way into several letterpress studios I could compare the results since different studios will have different resources and type cases to choose from.
Next step will be to draw up lists of people I intend to approach, but in the mean time have organised a meeting with Nigel Roche to ask if it is indeed possible to hold an exhibition at the Library at all. Will also ask to speak with the St Bride curator for advise about what I would need to consider if I was to untertake this. This meeting as it 2pm Wednesday (7th). PLUS, as a remarkable stroke of good luck, Alan Kitching (of who's work is currently showing at the library) will be holding extra talks this week at St Bride's...so have booked tickets for Thursday, 6.30pm.
