This week The Creativity Manifesto was invited to an Exhibition in a Gallery in Shoreditch, which we are led to believe is one of the principal centresof the gallery arts scene in London. Something quite amazing and extraordinary happened which will be written up at some future point..............but for now we can report it was the best night art outing we have had in 2008, an 8.5 out of ten, and inour top three all time stories involving Creativity, Art, and Life...........
A point of creative difference:
People often ask what is different about The Creativity Manifesto, and we reply by trying to give real life examples, and in this simple case you can see that this was a very traditional and formal style of exhibition as it was centred solely upon drawing as an art form. Therefore, all the pictures were typically displayed upon the white walls etc. But it was impossible for The Creativity Manifesto not too notice the "gaffa tape squares" upon the carpet, and if we were involved in the curation of this event we would have used these squares in a creative curational sense, possibly to lay art work in as a giant art square upon the floor to look at drawing from a different perspective (which was part of this show brief...to look deeper, and looking down upon something gives the feeling of looking deeper as in down a well etc.), or we may have placed an interactive installation in these squares such as a table and a two chairs for people to temporarily take the weight of their feet after a long hard day at work, and to create a more relaxed informal atmosphere, as the gallery space was completely stark, empty, and cold. In this way we would be using the dimensions of the space and what we found there already in an organic social art way.
Thanks to Petra, Wendy, Mohammed, Wei-Lin, Ali, and of course the Art and Business Svengali.... Shill.
