Weekly Progress

I have a post that has been sitting in my drafts folder on Blogger that I have been meaning to publish but I'm waiting because I want to add images to it but I can't find my camera wire. But don't worry because I am in the process of looking for it and if I can't find it by the end of the week I will publish the post either way. Sorry about the wait.

Hanging the Chance Show in Mason Gross

I must admit that I was rather hesitant at first to decide where things went and what they would work next to on the wall and whatnot. I imagined I would just sit to the side lines and hang things where people wanted me to hang them. I ended up being dead wrong. Considering I am a rather opinionated person, my more aggressive side came out a little bit when my group's opinion was challenged by the opinion of the artists whose work was in the room. Long story short we all came to a compromise and just ended things but I must admit it was really difficult. It really didn't help that we had the biggest room in the whole gallery and it was the first room that people saw so it just HAD to make a good impression on people. It also didn't help that we misjudged the size of our room so we ended up needing more pieces which did not match our theme at all. In the end it turned out that our room kinda just looked like the room of misfit art projects. I'm definitely not saying that it didn't look good, because I think with our limited restrictions we pulled it together quite nicely, I'm just saying that the theme we started off with completely vanished. I'm still proud of it nonetheless.
