MA FA exhibition space planning pro forma - summer 2023

Answering these questions as clearly as possible will help us allocate show spaces. We will do our best to provide you with what you need, but we cannot guarantee it, as the needs of the entire group will have to be considered when spaces are allocated.

Please note that any construction of walls or partitions will have to be agreed by your pathway leader. There will be limited technical help during the installation of the show, so your plans should not rely on help from technical staff.

Name:  Jiaxing Li

Pathway: Sculpture

 

What do you intend to exhibit?

Please be as specific as you can, for example: how many pieces? What is the size of the proposed work/s?

Use the space provided here for images of your work:

I will be exhibiting a combination of sculpture and performance in the summer exhibition

• Selection of materials: Wool yarn , Sugar ，Hair， Dust ，Dander

• Size:  Length:  1.5m   Width: 1.5--1.7m    Hight: 2.5m--3m

• For the role of the act performance: 

        The actor's behaviour is divided into 3 parts
        1: Boiling the sugar.
        2: Wrap the sugar around the main object crocheted with wool yarn.
        3: The interaction between the actors

  Through the actors' repetitive actions of making sugar bricks, building a house, melting the bricks and repairing the house, Through the use of sugar, fabric and performance, it explores the state of being of the object of love and the subject of love itself.

• Scenes for the performance:
  I need a room that is spacious, empty and has bright natural light to exhibit my work.

• My work needs to be hung.

​

Do you have any other specific requests?

e.g power supply, a corner, floor space, a darkened area? Does the work have the potential to ‘interfere’ with other exhibits (sound etc)?

​

1. In my work, the sugar will gradually melt and I will lay the plastic dust sheets on the floor so as not to disturb other works.

2. I need a room that is spacious, empty and has bright natural light to exhibit my work.

3. My work needs to be hung.

 

What are the health and safety considerations?

 

Risk Assessment information: This is a public show in a professional gallery space so it’s imperative that you inform us of potential issues regarding your proposed work and that everyone completes a Risk Assessment.

Risk assessments cover anticipated potential dangers associated with installing artwork, from time lost through breakages and repairs, to accidents and potential public risk during the exhibition.

 

Risk assessments forms are available on Moodle to download. Please complete and include with your proposal.

 

Common risks include potentially hazardous materials, handling objects over 25kg, exceptionally large or long work, installing with ladders, suspended work above head height, sharp edges, trip hazards, exposed moving parts, self-made or repurposed powered electrical components, unbalanced or unsecure objects, the inclusion of water, flammable liquids, airborne chemicals, solvents, any preserved, unrefrigerated or decomposing organic matter: insects, animal or human. If you are unsure, include the details.

 

If you need to be on-site to install you must also complete a UAL Risk Assessment Form prior to installation and the risk assessment must be signed off by a tutor with all safety issues resolved before installation.

 

Materials: describe any potential hazardous materials. If in doubt about hazardous materials or processes, see a technician or tutor for advice:

Installation methodology: describe here BRIEFLY how you anticipate we will need to install the work and include any specific assistance or method needed e.g. working at height or with large scale work. For example:

1. 2d work: how will the work hang and what tools do we need? Will the work be framed?

2. 3d work: how will the work be installed? What tools do we need? Do you anticipate we will need a ladder?

3. Projection/monitors/sound: do you need to make plinths, brackets for mounting? Cable covers for power Cables? Test sound levels in an empty space? Explore different projection sizes? Ensure compatibility/availability of hardware or software and technical advice? 

4. Power outlets: If relevant, state the number of power outlets and plugs will you require? Have you had all electrical equipment PAT tested?
