Leeds Fine Artists

I offered to help Heather Jones, a third year, with her performance piece at Trinity Church yesterday. The exhibition was put on by fifteen of the third years, all of whom displayed their work. The exhibition was to explore the human condition, however the context of the previous Church of England space automatically gave all the work a religious connotation. For some peoples' work, I think this added an extra dimension, as Kimbal Bumstead's performance piece explored ideas of dehumanisation, which linked well to religious connotations. However for other people, such as Eloise Kerr and Lucy Huddart, I could not help but think the religious connotations drowned their work or made their pieces almost unnoticeable, which they do not deserve to be.

The central location of the exhibition space was good and I am sure that accounted for some of the vast numbers of visitors. Also Lorraine's publicity was obviously well executed and Kimbal even had his performance written about in the Leeds' Metro! Richard Bell wants our year to get into groups and put on an exhibition, so this has shown me how important well directed advertising and a good location are if we want to attract a big audience.
