At the start of our day, Tim Brown gave a presentation and advice about what to do when approaching the exhibition, considering he was in our positions two years ago.
Out of the information given, he mentioned to work in parallel with making new work and sequencing current work you have, in order to stay consistent with the project. He also mentioned to order small test prints, experimenting with paper type and colour balance/ saturation, and to experiment with layouts when presenting the work in the exhibit, to see what is appropriate for your work.
Finally, he recommended to write a catalogue statement for the project of various renditions: one thirty words and another hundred words depending on where the work is presented; the artist statement should open questions for the work, rather than close it off by simply stating what the work is.
Because of all this information, it was very helpful relaying what we need to do with the final submission, which should hopefully take some pressure off if I plan accordingly.
