FMP | Geek Table Exhibition Theme Research




This evening I've taken some time to make a start on the research for conceptual development and idea generation for a theme or concept for the Geek Table Exhibition which we hope to put on during mid- May. 

Researching events going on in and around Leeds (where, of course, the Geek Table was founded), the major events appeared to be sporting (with the Leeds 10K Marathon, and the build up to the start of the 2014 Tour de France, etc) and cultural- through both music and ballet, with events from the Northern Ballet and several music events, namely the Reading and Leeds Festival.

What I hope to put forward as a suggestion is creating a theme of 'Cultural Events', allowing us to explore art, music, performance (dance/theatre) quite broadly, yet, still, have a theme, and therefore there should be a subject to appeal to everyone, both from a design perspective as the members of Geek Table, and as audience participants, and hopefully would draw in wider crowds from both the general public and industry.
