Inspirational Speaker: Andy M Renshaw

Andy M Renshaw

25th Monday April 2016


Andy M Renshaw is a contemporary artist and a recent graduate from the Interactive Media course from Manchester Metropolitan University. He is part of the number of speakers we have been offered as part of Unit X to gain new insight into different areas and potentially gain inspiration for our work.
Andy M spoke about his recent exhibition and the challenges he faced during the installation and during the showing. He explained how he used the space to his advantage and incorporated his work into it which made the whole show work together as one composition. Claiming that the Unit X project was very important to him and how he photographed the entire process, this way he could record his progress and development.

I took notes throughout the talk which can be seen below. Overall I have taken a few points from the whole talk: that jobs do not take “just ten minutes”. This I important because I will consider this during the installation of our work in the space, we will give ourselves more time to anticipate delays and problems. Another point was to use the space with the work (and vice vera) this makes the space effective as it creates a whole space.


However I was disappointed by the talk overall, this is because it was delivered very unprofessionally and unclear. This is because Andy M delivered a very casual talk, going off topic and repeating himself about unnecessary topics one involving a fly. When I attend talks I expect them to be delivered professionally and clearly; that I can understand the message and lessons they wish to share.

Notes from talk: unclear as I didn't have my pen.
