Exhibition Launch Last Night

Here are a few photos from the first night of my exhibition entitled People Watching the People Watchers.  The project is drawing a lot of attention and in the few hours that it's been on display I have received more reactions than any exhibition before.  I concluded about a year ago that by simply including the images of people in a piece of work you immediately make it more attractive to onlookers than a piece of work consisting solely of non-human content.  Once you have succeeded in drawing an audience, all other relating factors begin to increase such as criticism, applause, insults, debate, queries and suggestions.  When I strive to create a thought provoking and entertaining piece of art, audience figures are important.  I have to become good at the skills of marketing and the skills of producing art in equal proportions because the two activities are co-supporting.  So far this exhibition seems to be supporting my theory.
