However, after you've got your venue, moved past any disagreements and bought a lot of alcohol for the opening, everything seems an awful lot easier.
I haven't made an update yet on how it all went, but I'd like to keep it fairly simple (even though it wasn't quite so simple at the time).
In the end, the venue we landed was a derelict carpet shop - in essence, paradise for an enthusiastic artist who never gets the space to be a little messy. The place is located in Castle Market but may not be there for long. With demolition plans underway, that spot in Sheffield will soon have disappeared. It was a mix of these factors (and sheer desperation for anywhere to exhibit) that created an interesting backdrop for the work we were to make.
The 'we' consisted of: myself, Jenny Morgan, Sophie Webster, Kathryn Davis and Bimal Rana. It was just as well we five haphazardly formed our group because, as we soon realised, objects (in a variety of senses) played a large part in our practices.
The Object Group became Doodah, and the rest is history.
