Trove- Birmingham

My curation concept:

To use a space that is not inhabited. I am focusing on two spaces:

 1. The possible archives/ basement areas of Walsall Art gallery

 2. Trove gallery space in Birmingham

I am meeting with Cheryl at Walsall on Tuesday the 16^th April- leaving me little time to plan the placement of work, this is problematic.

However, Trove may be suitable to stage my virtual exhibition. Trove appears as an abandoned room located in Birmingham’s jewelry quarter. It is based in the Engine Room of Birmingham’s old Science and Industry Museum. Prior to the Museum the site was home to Elkington Silver Factory, the first silver-plating factory in the world. The historical narrative behind the space provides an excellent place to exhibit works from Louise and Jane Wilson whose films are staged within the confounds of disused buildings and factories.
