Viv West

After debating whether or not to pick the drug jar, we finally decided on the Vivienne Westwood corsets as our artefact.

The Grid

We decided from the precedents in the Whitworth that it would be a good idea to hang our entire display from the ceiling. We decided to make a metal grid, consisting of 1m lengths and welded them together to create a strong structure.

Testing Reactions

We put the skeleton in the actual site and photographed the drama students' reactions, getting some very odd looks. Not entirely sure if they thought it was creative, or just plain weird!

The Skeletons!

We put the real skeletons to the test today and hung them up using clear fishing wire, which proved strong enough. We blacked out all the windows in the entire room lit the corsets from different angles. Very spooky!

Model Prototype

Today we made a replica model at a 1:10 scale of the real situation. This was really helpful to see what the final version would look like. We tested out 1980's clothes in collaboration with the corset and put the models in a black box to give us an idea of what the room would look like blacked out.

Concept Idea

Using Photoshop we produced an image with skeletons in the site we chose to create a representation of what the exhibit would look like. This gave us an idea of the space available and how it would be seen from the outside.

Whitworth Art Gallery Visit - Exploded Shed by Cornelia Parker

We visited the Whitworth and got inspiration for our project, looking especially at the light used and the way the art work was presented, eg. hanging.
