We mainly had 5 principles which we focused on:
- Focus on promoting the exhibition as a whole week rather than just the opening night
- Take the viewer's onto a journey (trip) while enclosed in this space
- Give an insight of what happens behind the scenes of student's work (workshops)
- Use patterns to identify the different courses
- Include the water element (HSBC sponsorship)
We wanted to create a manifesto that reflects these 5 principles we kept in mind while planning the exhibition, thus all of us started jotting down some phrases and ideas we had in mind for the manifesto.
Some versions I wrote:
Its not about the destination, its about the trip that takes us from start to finish. Explore, discover and get lost in a parallel world that breaths art.
Dare the ordinary and create something unusual.
Don’t let people’s perspective change the way you do things, you are an artist.
Remember, with your work you can change the world.
Let loose your imagination to discover and explore a world that revolves around art
Remember together we can change the world, you just have to believe,
So open your eyes and enjoy the trip.
These versions however, was targeted at the students exhibiting their work rather telling the people what our exhibition concept is all about.
