The Number Nine Gallery - Birmingham

1)      The hang in the exhibition wasn’t as professional as I thought it would be. Some of the paintings had gone crooked, and the space was very small and crowded, and a lot of the work was out of reach.

2)      I found it when I was looking on the internet for current exhibitions,

3)      There was a sign around the corner from the gallery guiding you to the space. http://www.numberninethegallery.com/index_numbernine.php?page=home

4)      The quality of the work was very good, and there was such a variety of work

5)      In my opinion I found that there was too much to look at and some of the work was in strange places under a stair case which really was inaccessible

6)      They did have plaques with name, title and materials

7)      No guides

8)      The space was so small that I didn’t get a good feel to the place. I spoke to the man in charge and he didn’t make any eye contact and as soon as he knew I was a student he didn’t take much interest.

9)      The space was in the right place as it is an up market area.

10)   Some of the artists were:

·         John Mould – ‘Landscape’ ’Pathways V’ – Original Acrylic on Canvas

·         David Begble


In conclusion this wasn't my favourite space that I saw, the hanging wasn't thought out very well and the staff werent very helpful.
