Free for Art Festival 2010

In this blog, I am going to talk about a couple of things about Free for Art Festival.

The Place and Setting Up

The exhibition was in Piccadilly Place where is near to the Piccadilly is near to the Piccadilly Rail station. This was my first time getting involved with an exhibition apart from school. It was a very good experience to be aware of the procedure of an exhibition. The place we used was an empty flat in the ground floor of the building. A few month ago, the first time I saw an exhibition set up at this kind of place, I was so surprised because I would never imagine the owner of an unused office in Hong Kong would let people do such things. However, if I will have an opportunity to manage an exhibition in Hong Kong, I will try to find some this kind of place.

My 3 images are digital prints in A3 size on plastic boards. They are not difficult to be set up so I chose to put them on the pose near the entrance.

Invigilating

My invigilating time was at 1:30-4:00pm on 3/10 Sunday. There must be at least 2 persons invigilating the exhibition when it is open. The person with me was Bex. She almost did all the introduction job of the festival when every viewer came. Therefore, I had time to take some photos for documentation because I accepted to document the event as a volunteer.

We needed to take down how many people came to the exhibition for record. And that day, I had got 38 viewers. Was it good?

Documenting with Photos

As I accepted to be a volunteer photographer for the event, I went to there on another day for some more photos. I brought 2 lenses which were a 17-40mm lens and a 70-200mm lens, a tripod and an external flash gun. About 300 photos have been taken, I hoped those photo will be useful for the next FFAF!
