And the second day of the weekend, off to a less alcohol induced resort, but still as busy.

Blackpool

The first majorly sunny weekend in 2010, and everyman and their stag do was heading to Blackpool

Another visit to a seaside location to take imagery during the Easter break

My First Response!

I have actually recieved a response to one of the postcards I sent out to random addresses. I intend to use this for some influence for how I'm going to take this project further:

Postcard Mission

After the crit, I thought about alternative ways of

a) displaying the postcards

b) getting people to write on the postcard

And subsequently, a question to ask people.

I have been thinking of ways to get my postcards out to people in the public, to find out their opinions of what class they believe themselves to be in.

I decided to send postcards off to random addressed gained through the internet with a letter explaining the reason for this, and the postcards are addressed and stamped for easy return. Now we just have to wait and see!

Postcard addressed and stamped, ready to be sent back

Putting the packs together

Letters containing postcards, a letter explaining and asking a question and my business card

I also left the postcards in places around Leeds for random individuals to take and send me their response....

Putting the adressed and stamped postcards in places for people to pick up and respond to

Another place for someone to respond to a postcard

Next I wish to produce some more, and hand them out in different places.

I need to consider how to display these cards, and research further.

Between Kismet and Karma - Leeds Art Gallery

I went to see the new exhibition at Leeds Art Gallery yesterday. It features several female artists who have responded to the conflicts in their home countries, and has a wide range of mixed media responses.

Crit - 22nd March 2010

For the crit on the 22nd March we have been asked to seriously consider an outcome, and how it may look in the exhibition, and therefore think about display, and curating.

I have decided to persue the postcard theme for the perusal of the crit, and therefore have framed up 3 postcards with possible stories attached on the back:
