Visit to The Tate Gallery
Yayoi Kusama 9th February-5th June 2012
I managed to visit Yayoi Kasuma’s exhibition at The Tate on the 2nd April 2012……
A lot of Kusama’s work is obsessive and repetitive which can can be incredible awe-inspiring for the viewer or on the other hand it can be slightly overwhelming. The two rooms thats fascinated me the most were rooms 12 and 14 partly because it...

Overall the Exhibition has proved to be great success, raising money for our chosen...

I also included a date and time in which...

Planning....
After I had found a venue and decided the dates, I invited my co-curator Janette Roberts to discuss the initial planning of the exhibition. Gathering all the information we needed to fill in the Student Project Proposal Form, as I was the one who had contacted both our venue and sponsor it made sense if I was in charge of filling in the Student Project Proposal form and Janette gather the data we...
