The Archive Exhibition


Development work is proceeding on the exhibition, with Catrin and Lauren taking the reins, and Ali overseeing, and a progress meeting yesterday

Catrin has been working on the timeline and starting to source the photos that are to be used.

Earlier Catrin and Lauren talked of scaffolding being used for the display of objects, to get a circus rigging sort of effect, but rule out due to cost and logistics. Another way has been found to display everything, which is directly circus themed and very current, nicely linking the photos of the past to what's happening at the moment and into the future - if you want to know what - come to the exhibition 12th December!

Four Elms

The exhibition will be held at NoFits State flagship premises in Splott - Four Elms. This converted church with its high ceilings was Wales' first dedicated circus training space, and it seems fitting that the past should be celebrated in a building very much inspiring and pushing forward to the future.

Because it is a converted older building, rather than purpose built, it is intensely interesting if somewhat rambling, perhaps like many NoFit State members themselves after a few bevvies.

It is bendy and wiggly, with rooms flung around everywhere, a bit like a stilt walker who has hit the deck. It is an interesting space to hold an exhibition in, and the meeting this week helped Ali and Catrin to thrash out how it will all fit.
