We decided to have our exhibition at Islington Mill which provided great space for our work. Before we could go on the 6th to set up ready for the, 7th May, exhibition night we had to decide on a name, whether we were to have a bar open or provide drinks and a logo/image for posters and social media. We all decided after many options that as the exhibition would be on polling night that it could be fun to name it "This is not a polling station". We decided to keep to this theme for the image to go on posters and advertising too. For the bar we all gave £5 to buy drinks for the evening which would be provided on a stand for people to help themselves and we would then have the bar running from 8pm onwards. When we arrived at Islington Mill on the Wednesday we had to unload all the work off of the van and start to work out what order we wanted everything to go in. Once we decided that it was a case of painting the space and plinths. Then we had to decide on a height for everyone's work and start putting up. It was great seeing everyone's work as most of the time you didn't get chance to. I enjoyed working as a team it was great everyone came together to get it done. My piece was originally going to be a spiral, concertina fold book but once I folded the prints I really liked them as structural pieces instead and presented them on plinths. The exhibition night was a major success as we had a great turn out and it seemed that it was not just friends and family members which was brilliant.
