"10 Degrees+" was a small exhibition as well as an art salon which was held in SPROUTARTS space. 10 artists displayed their works. My work "Fission" was showed.
I took the role of preparing Private View. My main work was buying drinks and keeping noticing everything was ordered during PV. I had to buy in budget and be organisational.
As SPROUTARTS is a self funding community arts space, local people came frequently. When I was there as an invigilator, I sold cards and explained a lot about other artists to visitors.

Emergency
Group exhibition
6-9 December, 2019
Platform Southwalk, 1 John Street, SE1 8BS, London
"Emergency" was a show held by artist from Wimbledon College of Arts. My work "Suspension" was showed.
I found the problem of adjusting spotlights when I was installing works. I thought "the brighter the better" to a work before. In fact, if a work was spotted too bright, the colours and reflections might be influenced.
Skills: Installation skill

It had got a good social response with a good prepare and arrangement for 6 months. My work "Through" was showed.
As the curator of this exhibition, my works including:Collecting and following artworks' latest states, planing space design, docking with the installation team. With this role I need to communicate a lot with all the artists to make sure I was clear about their concept and requirements of installation. Lots of emergency problems happened. Solving problems in time was also a big challenge.

"Postopia" was the first public show I attended in London, in which I knew some "rules" of attending an exhibition. It was an incredible experience and good start to me. My work Born on 08/11/2018 was showed. I installed my own work in a perfectly suitable position arranged by the curator.
At the private view night, I communicated with audiences and got feedbacks. This first experience means a lot to me as I am an international student.
