We managed to hang a piece by all the artists except Miles, he has some wonderful large work from our residency, but the smaller pieces needed better materials so i was thrilled to hear last night (when we worked together in Shallal 2) that he was given art materials for Christmas !
Shallal artists often span many mediums of artistic expression. Shallal 2 have a fantastic relationship with Falmouth Art Gallery and it is one of their performance venues, with many shows commissioned and inspired by exhibitions.

Well the initial offer and idea was to have an exhibition parallel to Shallal 2's commissioned performance, devised and inspired by the Illustration exhibition at Falmouth Art Gallery in December 2018.

The idea was put to Shallal Dance Theatre artists, many of whom are part of Shallal Studios and to Express Yourself emerging artists and Shallal 2.
However we had an extremely busy term leaping from one performance to three before Christmas! All different shows! 
This is my excuse, my eye went off the art work and I was relieved when we had to postpone the hanging till tomorrow! So last week i collected some work and found as i expected that many ideas weren't completed.
So, visual art is not the same as improvised dance in it's production but what it does share in Shallal is this immense reservoir of talent, so we rummaged through what we had....
And it will be worth a visit! 

It is the same as shows, there are some who constantly produce work, some gaining confidence and doing stronger new work and unexpected gems and unknown treasures to enjoy. (As well as some who you want in it but just can't make it or finish it this time - Joseph Wheeler has done some amazing work recently but none is finished.)
And just like creating a show we are waiting to see what sits well in which order etc:
Anna is helping me curate it.
So we expect tomorrow to hang a mixture of work from....
