semi-realised potential

In the summer i took part in a workshop at the Cornerhouse in Manchester. The workshop was entitled "Unrealised Potential" and was linked to an exhibition they had on at the time. I was woking in the youth team and we are somewhat working in partnership with another two groups; one is the adult group and the other is the Harry Hill group

Unrealised Potential itself was created by Sam Ely & Lynn Harris, they proposed an active investigation into the potential of unrecognised, unfinished or unfulfilled ideas of other artists. they collected proposals from artists, designers, curators, writers, performers and musicians which had yet to be realised or remain unwritten.
"The project aims to create a space and context for this submitted information, a space where concepts are at the fore, are not fixed in a final product, and rely on the viewer's imagination to be 'realised', where a de-material, ill fitting, perfectly formed, forgotten, never forgotten, in between, ridiculous, attainable, subjective, co-authored, text, image, sound, archive lives in the present through the never ending poetics of potentiality."
.....................................I'll be attending the next art of the workshop on the 20th of November to meet the grown up groups......
