This is the brief that I have introduced to both years now - It woul be great if you wanted to get involved - Michelle Taylor is a very good localmcontact on the arts and design secene - talk to me if yu want more information.
The Blowhole is held in two rooms at the Pig in Paradise.
The larger room holds the bands (3) and the dj's (4)
We usually have a slideshow on one wall, made up of various images, including photos from previous Blowhole's. There is also usually a film behind the bands, an artist doing a live paint and the whole thing is topped off with a massive white parachute. This covers a lot of the disparate elements in the room, (fireplace, mirrors, horrible walls) and provides a backdrop for coloured spotlights.
The second room is smaller and is more of a sitting room. Sofas, tables and chairs etc. We have had performers in here before. There is a projecter and screen in-situ.
The two rooms are linked by an area for merch sales.
We have for use on this project, two more projecters, a laptop and countless dvd players.
We are not especially attached to any of the elements we regularly use - except maybe the parachute as it does hide a multitude of sins.
However, if an alternative was proposed, we would be keen to see it.
The feel we want is a dark, twisted Christmas.
Think the Judderman, The imaginarium of Dr Parnassis, Alice in wonderland and the Cabinet of Dr Calgari.
The budget is so small as to be virtually non existant so this project will call for ingenuity and resourcefullness!
The event in to be held on Dec 3rd which is a Friday and the room will have to be set up on that day. It will then need to be dismantled on sat 4th.
Students can come and have a look at the room and a chat. I will be happy to come in and talk to people or meet a group at the venue if you would like that.
Inspiration here!
