Initial thoughts...

Initially looking at the title of the project, 'FANTASY EXHIBITION' my thoughts were drawn to sexual fantasies and the possiblities of using the project title as my starting point for ideas.
The sex industry is a show in itself and using this exisiting idea I thought i would expand upon the risque, naughtiness that art pushes itself, often opening up debates about art being art or pornography.




Here are some of the ideas I first thought of whilst brainstorming my thoughts...
  • Red lighting used in the exhibition like that of the red light district.
  • Advertise on calling cards like prostitutes advertise themselves.
  • Use a brothel as a gallery space.
  • Use the streets, shop windows as a gallery space.
  • Advertise in pornography magazines and personals.
  • Look as sex shops for names/set ups/lighting.
  • Keep the exhibition private or for 'gentlemen'.
  • Display prostitutes in the paintings, old or new, or obvious sexual inuendos.
