Burton College at Free Range 2010

This was Burton College's first time at the Free Range Art and Design Show. I was displaying photographs from my 'Vote for Ruth' project as a part of this. Easily the biggest exhibition that any of us had been involved in, I think most of us underestimated how much there was to do. Preparations and putting everything up was as equally manic as the opening night. Still it was all good fun and certainly an invaluable experience.

Ruth Smeeth, the focus of my project came along too.

Freerange ~ London Trip (blog post)

A trip to London saw us visit the FreeRange exhibition spaces, a tour of the PrintSpace and a lecture by Mark Neville.

First port of call was FreeRange. The college and the photography course has been contemplating exhibiting at FreeRange next year. FreeRange is the largest art and design graduate shows in Europe, set in the middle of the creative community at the Old Truman Brewery, London. It attracts a lot of attention from potential employers and the public. The show runs for eight weeks, with rotating exhibitions focusing on art, design, photography, interiors and architecture.

We were shown around to get a sense of the vast spaces and informed of the availability. At present it's something the students and college are considering being involved with. It certainly could prove to be an important springboard.
