Gabrielle de la Punte
Output Gallery
Punte has had a passion for exhibiting artists work and to help them gain recognition since her degree. She soon realised that she would become a creator due to not seeing her own art practise as better than others. This practical outlook helped her to put on opportunities for her fellow students to display work that she could in turn gain experience from.
She also created "The White Pube" which offers more relatable and easy understanding art criticism to those who don't have an art qualification. This urge to give access of art to the wider society was the drive for her setting up the Output gallery.
Given to her as a gift from another successful business, the space is centrally located in Liverpool City centre. Tourism and passers by venture in to see the wide array of exhibitions on usually for a week or two. Punte's vision for this space was to allow for local artists and students to showcase their talent as the larger institutions mainly allow for international talent. I really liked the idea of getting more of the local area involved and seeing what creatives the city has to offer.
Furthering on this aim to include more people she opened up Input weekends where people can enter with their portfolios to propose an exhibition. This has allowed for many to pass the formalities and to get their art out there.
Her large amount of exhibitions in a short space of a year or two has put pressure on the larger institutes to notice local artists.
In the Q&A I wandered what made her decide to take the creator-ship route rather than developing her own artistic abilities. She answered that exhibiting for others for filled her creativity just as much as creating work herself. This I related to as sometimes the concepts and ideas are more enjoyable for me to present than creating them.
