At an exhibition it is good for there to be a certain involvement for the public.
In terms of providing an interactive exhibition for your audience Rob Ryan had it perfect, it couldn't have been anymore stimulating. This was because he moved his studio to the exhibition for the duration of the show. So, all the wall space was covered with previous work, clippings of inspiration, plans and any other imagery, this was a feast for the eyes, allowing you to fully understand the thought process of Rob Ryan, and allow you to absorb all the elements which also inspire him.
But as well as the giant mood board, he had his screen printing equipment and cutting/drawing equipment, so you can watch the work being made - which is such an interesting experience. But most importantly, he was there himself, talking and answering questions. This was such a good exhibition studio.
Zines
Zines are a good way of interacting because people can pick them up, look at them, take them home, research any links to the artist further and gradually, you are building up a fan base at the same time.
Posters/Business Cards/Leaflets
These go along the same lines as zines, but any additional pieces which can be given away, such as posters and leaflets are always a good way to add some interaction, people can pick and chose pieces which they can take home.
After being inspired by the Pick Me Up Show, I have decided that as my form of interaction, I shall design some zines for people to flick through, and take away.
I shall design either some posters or little business cards.
These are also a great source of self promotion...
