After concluding our group exhibition project, we were able to reflect on the things that went well during the different stages of the planning and production, as well as things that could have been done differently. For example, during the start of the project, research into existing exhibitions in Leeds could have helped us to understand the starting point of the project easier. This could have also brought about further feedback and suggestions from peers on similar galleries or exhibitions that were relatable to our chosen subject.
In terms of the planning and production of the Halftone exhibition, there were several ways in which we succeeded in our intentions. One way that this was possible, was through the assigning of certain roles throughout the project, based on the group member's personal interests or creative strong points. This way the group could work efficiently and in a structured manner. As a result each member of the group was able to communicate and contribute ideas as well as suggestions for the ways in which the project could thrive.
Having worked as a group also gave each member the opportunity to see what collaborative practice is like in a professional environment. Consulting one another on problems that occurred or directions in which to take could easily be resolved through discussion and feedback. Furthermore, the presentations were also easier to put together once all the members had contributed and then the new ideas received after the presentations could then be discussed and pursued.
Overall, I think that working in a group has allowed each member to explore new areas that will prove useful for any future project involving collaborative practice. This will ultimately improve the skill sets of each member as well as their communicative skills.
