In the exhibition, Gracie Flieds's dinner service is exhibited. I wanted to look at some of the work of gracie fields, as she was a singer and actress from Rochdale around the time of the war this is very similar to our Broke collective manifesto of the make do and mend and recession depression. I Wanted to see how her music came across and try and use some similarities in the song i'm creating for my sound workshop. http://graciefields.org/wordpress/gracies-homes-2/ Gracie had a lot of homes in Britain, America and Capri. She was clearly a very house proud lady and as her fame and wealth grew so did her houses! In the video below it shows a clip of Gracie Performing. I Wanted to capture some of the elements in my own workshop in the House Proud exhibition, Such as the tanoies that are in the station and the busy feel and the people talking and the introductory music. |
