Collaboration opportunity with Manchester Art Gallery. Taking inspiration from alongside exhibiting artist, Ryan Gander, the programme will consist of 'engagement events that aim to set the public's imagination free'. With this option we'd have the opportunity to work with children, creating suitable activities to be ran as workshops at the art gallery, and as an alternative summer school programme.
PROJECT OPTION 2: 'MANCHESTER DESIGN FESTIVAL'
The brief is to design a design festival to take place in Manchester, taking inspiration from international examples such as Milan and Stockholm. This brief will be based around a blue sky thinking concept, anything is possible. process, not product. Overall the outcome will be to both present the groups ideas to members of Manchester City Council & City Co. and also create an exhibition to showcase our ideas.
It was difficult choosing on the spot which brief I wanted to pursue, especially taking in so much information in a short space of time. Both briefs sounded interesting, it was more a case of which did I feel more suited to. I know that I do not want a career working with children, therefore deciding that project option 1 probably wasn't right for me. In comparison, I feel that it will be interesting to learn more about 'design' rather than my usual textiles preferences, expanding my appreciation of the art world.
