mini evaluation forms

I made some really crabby looking (stained in tea and coffee grounds, expert at jamming up photocopier, pretend cross between Continental style and old crone handwriting (yes, obsessed with typography, too!) mini questionnaire to find out about people's reactions to the gallery. Most were very helpful, kind and supportive. I think some people just "don't get it"- it's not about 100s of people passing turnstiles and making a fortune- it's about quiet change, finding art somewhere unexpected and low key, relaxed and calming rather than frantic queues, hectic city life and impersonal spaces (not, of course, that all city galleries are like that!) I'm happy if 1 person turns up and sees something they've never thought about, before. It's a success. Even if they don't like it, it's still a success as it's challenged their preconceptions about what an art gallery (and for that matter, perhaps what art) is.

 (PS see the fancy apron of mannequin in background? Also the ribbons to tie onto fence draped off her!)

Here's Caro filling one out for me- really appreciated how many people travelled quite a long way to visit!
