THE MODEL.

Here are the screen shots of my model. from the website http://www.audialsense.com/tate.html I found the length, hieght and width of Turbine hall which is the location I chose for my exhibition. These measurements were approximately 152 metres (498.7 feet) long, 30 metres (98.4 feet) high and 24 metres (78.7 feet) wide.  

Above is a suggested route. I have planned it out so that there are two exits from the 'backstage area'. This allows the viewer to walk around the exhibition without having to go back on themselves.

The entrance to the turbine hall is to the right with a slope going down into the turbine hall. As you enter there is a catwalk. In the middle there are chairs either side of the catwalk. to the left is the 'backstage' area.

To the right of the catwalk there are six chairs with a portrait related to fashion on each. From left to right the Works of art are; the Untitled Photo which is part of Rankin's fashion portfolio (shows a fashion model with red markings on her face), an Untitled photo by Christophe Gilbert from ‘serie 1’ (shows a woman with a diamond encrusted necklace strangling her), Perou's portrait of 'Vivienne Westwood', Rankin's 'Heidilicious', Weegee's “Hopper's Topper” Hedda Hopper', and finally Perou's Portrait of 'Lilly Allen'. 

To the left of the catwalk is are another 6 chairs all with portrait photographers. From left to right these are; Rankin's 'Sienna Miller', Rankin's 'Pete Doherty', Helmo's Untitled photo which is part of the collection “Bêtes de mode” (shows a blue woman with a red cat over the top), Rankin's 'Lilly Allen', Michael Thompson's 'Ruffled Neck', and finally another of  Helmo's Untitled photos which is part of the collection “Bêtes de mode” (shows a blue woman with a red swan over the top).

Backstage area. These items are hanging on metal rails. Down either side are photos by Christophe Gilbert. All are Untitled but are from the collection 'Serie 1'. On the left the nearest is a woman pouring purple paint over herself, next is a woman with a champagne top as a dress and at the end is woman throwing a shawl made from pale green paint. On the right hand side the nearest photo is of a woman wearing a fish outfit and next to it is the portrait of a young child dressed like a teenage male. At the far end on the left is a photograph by Richard Avedon called 'Veruschka' and to the right of it is the painting 'The Cripple' by John Currin.

Backstage. The wall on the right of the Turbine hall has 3 works of art on it. These are all by Amie Dicke. From the left is 'Ashes', 'Gisele wants out' and then 'That's the look'.

Due to the layout of the exhibition you are encouraged to walk up and down either side of the catwalk, this allows the audience to see all around each 'sculptural' dress or outfit.

In the centre of the exhibition  is the catwalk, from the front to back is Susie MacMurry's 'Widow', Christopher Bailey's and Annie Morris' untitled peg dress, Susan Freda's 'Silver Flair', INSA's 'Anything goes when it comes to (s)hoes…', Maison Martin Margiela's and Gotscho's untitled silk dress with leather shoes and finally Riccardo-Tisci's and Paolo Canevari's untitled leather dress. 

As the turbine hall is an industrial space I wanted to recreate this in the stands for the pieces. I made the catwalk out of concrete bricks, the partition from the catwalk to the backstage area out of a steel metal texture. The chairs and hanging rails are made of metal as well. I feel the industrial style gives a modern take on the white-cube space. Some of the pieces are a splash of colour and life in this urban environment. Others are powerful images that are strengthened by the rough interior.
