1) I was really impressed with the hanging of the pieces in this gallery space. I couldn’t see any of the attachments and the main body of work was at eye level.
2) I was on my way to the Ikon Gallery and was walking through the ICC in Birmingham and found it on the way.
3) There was a board outside the gallery with information and with a web address which is: http://www.castlegalleries.com/
4) The quality of the work was very good, and was quite upmarket. The pieces where being sold as well.
5) There was quite a lot of work in there for a small space, but it didn’t look over crowded. The only problem I found was that it was quite dark in there.
6) They did have plaques but only with names, title and materials. I do like to have a bit more information when I am looking through a gallery.
7) There were no guides, but with this particular space it wasn’t needed. The workers were quite helpfully though.
8) The gallery did flow quite nicely. Quite a small place but they have managed it very well.
9) I think the space is well located as it is right next to the symphony hall, so when people are coming through it they will have a look inside.
10) A few of the artists where:
· Richard Rowan, ‘Land of Promise’, original oil on glass
· Bob Barker
· Bob Dylan
· Bill Bate
In conclusion I really liked this space the staff were helpful and the flow of the gallery was very good. The location was just right aswell, and I think the fact it wasn't a white gallery space really worked.
