They were asking for people to help them instal their latest show which was titled National Gallery 2: Empire, which ran between the dates 23 November 2015- 8 January 2016. National Gallery 2: Empire was a group exhibition which involved seventeen different architectural works which varied in size and shape. What I thought was really interesting about this show and what I will use to help me decide what exhibition piece I use was how the viewer was forced to interact with the pieces of art. The metal grid in the gallery hung 130cms from the ground, and had transparent tiles which the different art works were placed on. There were a few gaps in the grid which which the viewer could navigate too while bending down before rising through the grid to look at the different models. This forced the viewer to interact with the art which I had not seen before, and then placed them at very close to the works while they were standing at a higher perspective looking down at the art. This meant that the viewer was given a superior perspective which is not usually felt when looking at architecture.
What I took from this experience as well as learning how this gallery installed the show was the different ways that you could use perspective and height to influence how the viewer will experience your work. This is something that has made me think more about scale with my own exhibition piece, and how that could make the viewer feel like they are inside the homeless tent which would force them to think about what it might be like to just have a tent as a home with the vary few objects that they have. The scale of my image will impact how much the viewer connects themselves to the tent.
