World So Obscured
We developed an online exhibition that connected natural history objects at the GNM: Hancock, with six local women identifying artists and their practices.
It was the first solely digital exhibition devised by our students. In a time when physical contact was limited, the exhibition presented a playful way to consider our relationship with the natural world whilst profiling local artists.
Through this group exhibition, the students gained first-hand experience of creating an online exhibition including:
- developing relationships with artists
- thinking about the relationship of artworks and audiences in digital space
- writing about artworks
- marketing and audience engagement
- project management and budgetary considerations
We partnered with Newcastle-based studio and arts organisation, The Newbridge Project to connect to a community of artists. Local artist and web designer, Rob Smith created the website for the project.
Module Leader: Dr Gayle Meikle
The exhibition included artwork by: Lucy Claire, Taya Franco, Mani Kambo, Iris Priest, Eleanor Scorah, Bethany Stead
