SPEED DATING
Comet Project Space
2018
This concept of speed dating is a response to the individualism rampant in our contemporary art world and explores how simple collaboration can build relationships.
Registered participants had an allocated time slot with each candidate and took turns asking a series of questions before the buzzer sounded. Every candidate then moved around so that everyone had a chance to meet and talk.
We predicted that, as with speed dating, this opportunity to meet and discover what others are working towards would generate creative partnerships. In order to discover whether the event was a success, we asked for feedback from participants. Rose Northey, a recent addition to the growing Comet Community, kindly shared her experience with us.
