So XOXO is finally over. First of all I want to say a thank you to all who made it possible and to a those who visited the show! The exhibition was open to the public for four days following a hugely successful open night on Thursday 10th and ended on the 16th with the removal of all the work.
The Exhibition was a stunning display of work from fifty-two second year Fine Art students and aimed to showcase the year group's individuality as a dynamic collective. Spanning a wide range of practices such as painting, drawing, sculpture and performance, the exhibition created a compelling, challenging and progressive discourse between the audience, artist and artwork.
This exhibition has meant a great deal to me as I have not only been an exhibitor within the show, but I was one of three 'Project Managers' who were given the opportunity to organise and put together the exhibition. The task was tough, but the experience has been invaluable. If you didn't manage to get down and see the show, here are a few photos of some of the exhibitors work.

The exhibition was a huge success and received hundreds of visitors and excellent feedback. Trying to organise an event of such scale having never done anything like that before was definitely a challenge but it couldn't have happened if it wasn't for the amazing efforts of some of my peers (you know who you are!). XOXO was the last major collective exhibition for my year group before 'Free Range' next year so we now have that to look forward to.
I hope you enjoyed the exhibition and thanks again to those who made it possible and to those who visited!
