I have sketched out a structure for the exhibition, and on a meditative walk on Sunday I managed to see a solution (at this stage anyway) for the last stage of the exhibition. I had mapped out that it would be an exhibition in three stages. The introduction talking about how culture never stands still, the main area using food culture to illustrate this point and the last part???? I hadn't come up with a solution, considering whether we should do scenarios for the future, not being comfortable about that; it can often become scary or cliched and not very constructive. I was also wondering how to bring the visitors themselves into the exhibition... So on the quiet walk I realised it would be perfect to have an installation in the end where the visitors can fill in their own connections to the world and have it printed out on a beautifully designed card. They could also become part of a map on the wall showing lines and connections.
This brings the element of visitor input (taken from Havlandet and the notes) and visibility in the exhibition, brings the large topic of culture to a personal level and gives us the possibilities of giving them something personal to take away from the exhibition.
In a talk with Jo-Anne yesterday she said that we have to make sure that we stress that there is allways a core that is you, your own personality, (not "You are what you eat" or "You are who you know" those sayings have allways bothered me...) and it is this core that has connections to the world.
