Proposal

Content

I intend to work and collaborate with Gemma Marsh to recreate and relaunch VIBE. In order to do this i will be working in various areas, I will be deigning a website as well as updating it regularly providing a network for artists and practitioners alike to contact one another. However the website also allows the artists to have a small online portfolio that will be reviewed and published to our website providing they have shown with VIBE. Further to this i will also be contributing to the exhibitions by selecting the artists that will exhibit, moreover i will be contributing work to the exhibitions, the work i produce will be based contextually about the dissertation work that i will be covering over the following term. Allowing my contexts to cross over.  Running a venue/collective such as this will require a form of documentation so i shall be recording the exhibitions through photography and film as well as producing a final physical archive that will encorporate all the works that have been at VIBE post -relaunch.  I will also be creating a "mobile art gallery" using the panels that i made last year, they will be integral to VIBE allowing for more interesting installations to be created however it does need waterproofing.

Method

Using the panels created last year for my installation i plan to use this material to house installations as well as be the focus of the shows.  In order for VIBE to be successful it will require a set space that is easily accessible, further to this it needs to be relatively large in order to accomodate the work that will be produced, which could be any size at all. So potentially looking at booking the project space as and when required. I will need to have a techincal tutorial in Web Design as i haven't done anything as quite in depth before.  VIBE will create collabortive oppurtunities and it is difficult to say at this point who i will collaborate with.
