It seems most names for an exhibition are bad. Perhaps naming an exhibition is a bad thing to do. The language that surrounds it, dross. The word exhibition sounds like an exercise, worked. Something that must be done, arduous. But it is a pleasure to name something. To think of words that stand in front of the 'thing' A friends party is called switch rising which I think is a great name. It prevails and subverts simultaneously. I thought the group show im naming should have the word Oozing in it yet it points to an excess as if spilling over the top or from the edges of abundance. Perhaps that's fitting actually. Exhibitions are about excess. They require surplus time. The tea is hot and must be drunken!
