Today’s exciting event was the setup* of Kudos gallery in preparation for an exhibition opening tomorrow evening. More specifically, the exhibition is the one we successfully applied for 3 months ago (application documents are linked to from my original blog entry). Aptly name “Material Satisfaction”, it is a dedicated 2nd year Sculpture, Performance & Installation showcase. A press release for the show is available on the Kudos website, and it is amusing to note that the promo image is a photo of the inside of my locker!

An early phonecall from Nyssa saw me enjoying a nice cafe breakfast and coffee - and with a nice relaxed atmosphere, as she’d heard we were starting an hour earlier than we actually were, giving us plenty of time.

As always, exhibition setup was no barrel of laughs. It’s generally an everyman-for-himself scramble for the best position and resources - a study in compromise and harsh politics. Thankfully the general amicability/friendship/love between the SPI students meant that despite the stressful environment it was incredibly heartening spending some time with them all again.

Needless to say, everyone is most earnestly invited to the opening tomorrow evening (Tuesday 22nd Nov) 6-8pm, at Kudos gallery. If you are unaware of where it is, the address can be found at the bottom of the press release. There is some very good work featured, and it is well worth a look-in. Pictures from the opening and of the general layout shall be available within the next couple of days.
