Preparation is the name of the game

The studio is currently a hive of activity with students cleaning, sanding and painting their spaces to get ready for submission later in the week. As the spaces come together we will be putting up some pictures to show you work from the students in the group. All of the exhibits in pointsixsix are going to be chosen from the current second year Contemporary Applied Arts students final collections. Sadly there isn't enough room for everyone to exhibit at art 360 but we hope to showcase as much as we can here on the blog.

The pieces are going to be selected by our two curators Mark Houghton (http://www.markhoughton.com) and Anna Falcini (http://www.annafalcini.co.uk) both practising artists who work part time at Hereford College of Arts.

What's in a name?

Today is all about flyers and posters. In an attempt to make sure that we are not just going to be all alone on our opening night we have been working on our advertising. There have been dozens of versions of our posters done and we are nearly there with our final designs. The question we have been getting a lot today when gathering opinions about this version over that version of the flyer has been "what's all the point six six about then?". Well it's quite simple really. Picking a name for a group show is very hard. Especially when you're not 100% sure what everyone is making. So we needed something a bit obscure. As we are now two weeks away from the end of our second year, we decided to celebrate the fact we are 2/3 of the way through, and point six six just looked nicer than 2/3!
