Thing I learn with preparing of my thesis show

My experience in preparing for my thesis show is that of preparing ahead of time... I set my show to be in a Jewish temple in December I spoke with the Temple director and he approved my show but did not give me a date. After many weeks of pursuing a finite date, and feeling at ease since he approved the show, I pursued his but did not worry about it. After pressing him after not getting a set date for two month he replied to day that he showed my work to the Temple board and because I use burned human hair in my work they would not approve having my show at the Temple. (Being that it create a connotation of the Holocaust). What do I do now? My work is site specific, and has to be created for the space it encompasses. This is a big problem, and being that is now February now... time is ticking down. I spoke to many friends and through out a large net for anything available. In the end it past to have good friends, and family. I was given a beautiful space in a church (where I know the Pastor). It is a huge glass walk way! The difficulty is that it is a high traffic area, and for that reason and being that my work is completely destructible I set my show up in two days, had my opening and then removed it that same evening. It was beautiful, perfect space for my work, but took a great deal of preparation and planning to pull everything off and well. In the end it all worked out! Thank God! But my advise and lessoned learned is be clear with people, don't be afraid to ask for specifications, be clear, direct and set a date early!

Space and Power:
Who creates space, and moratorium, can we culturally see the image that we create within our work? Woman could at one time only do work about woman within a framework of personal ideals. Who is granting space? It exposes the underlying power. Recontetualization and plagiarism, it’s based on the idea that we are all free and equal it is the idea of capitalization… do “I” agree with that? Are we all equal as individuals, gender is that true? What is personal equality of individuals based on? How is equality grasped or is it a utopian idea of appropriation? Copy rights for your work… is there any real protection for my art work, since art really is so conceptual is there any way to protected your thoughts. Although your thoughts can your right to be protected since, your thoughts tie into your individual identity. So, how as an artist can your work be protected? That is an interesting thoughts and one I have to say I have thought about but have no resolution, I have really also not had enough experience to have a strong opinion about. I am sure soon that will change and with making pieces for local businesses is that was one thing I began contemplating because I had spent a lot of my time investing into my drawing in proposing the work I would like to do for them. One of the thoughts I had is that I just handed over my time, idea and sketch to this business and really they could take my design and go to someone else with it and have them create it. What right would I have against that happening? Looking at Creative Copyright is something to explore! That is a good idea, and I will explore that further!
