FMP Exhibitions

I visited these exhibitions in London, they are not necessarily related to my project but i thought it would be helpful to have a look as it may spark up a few ideas. One i found particularly interesting was 'Twenty-four in London'  by Brett Amory. He visited 24 different locations in 24 hours and watched people, made observations and painted what he saw he also collected many objects from the scene. I thought this may be a good idea for my project to go to a certain location and observe people and see what choices they make and what could of happened if they made a different one. I also enjoyed the 'Only in England' exhibition as both the artists take photos of very honest images of everyday life, good and bad.

Final Major Project Ideas

For my Final major project pitch, I decided to base it on the butterfly effect. This idea was inspired by a notion of chance I had when I was younger, I was going to get on one of the London tubes that got bombed in the London bombings, however it was very busy so we decided to wait for the next one. If I was a few minutes earlier I would of caught that train and a small decision such as this would of changed my life forever, I feel this will be a good starting point and research for my project. When i pitched the idea people seemed to like it however there was some discussion on wether it was actually the butterfly effect of the notion of chance. I decided to call the project the notion of chance but bring in the theme of the butterfly effect and the notion of choice.
