mipeltajaSo I wasn't able to put my exhibition up today, because I couldn't contact the person who keeps the school toolkit. Also some idiot had plastered the exhibition wall with posters, no doubt without realizing that it needs to be reserved, and indeed that it had been reserved by someone else. I took them down with the permission of the library staff (the library being the place where one goes to reserve the wall in question). Since I wasn't able to put my paintings up, I left them leaning against the wall, hoping that no one is rude enough to damage them.
I don't consider this too big a setback, though, because it's just a wall in one of the school buildings, not something like a fancy gallery that I actually paid to reserve, so I can stand to be a little late. I'll probably be able to get the tools tomorrow.
Really, what annoys me the most were the posters. This kind of casual disregard for the art department is pretty common in here. I realize that a few posters on a wall is not a big deal, but the thing is that it's part of a bigger trend. People from other departments have been known to dismantle or obscure exhibitions without talking to the owner of the pieces or making reservations of their own. The concept of an exhibition seems to completely elude them and they treat them more like decorations that they can move if they think they'd be less inconvenient elsewhere.
