University Mailing List

One of the university staff came in to the pub today and said that she was shocked she hasnt seen the exhibition advertised through the universities internal mailing list between staff. She suggested we contact Daniel and ask him to send an email to the staff in the university on the social mailing list thing and ask them to attend, and also ask them to mention the show to their students. It might be a great way to get further attendance at the show :D :D :D

Someone should also send out an email to the digiphoto mailing list outlining the opening times and and stuff so that the first and second years will know what is going on.

Presentations

We were discussing today critically reflecting on the project in your presentations, well think of it as this:
knowing what you now know (having collaboratively curated this exhibition), what was successful and why, and what would you do differently (and why) were you to do this project all over again!
(obviously with reference to the sections you are talking about...and the fluidity team with reference to the project as a whole).

This critical reflection is VERY important, it really is about what you have learnt from this unit, so think very hard about this. Bring your thoughts about this to the seminar next week and we will discuss!!

Jessops prints

Err, some small mishap from today:
I went to Jessops to get the prints done and nearly got a stroke when I read that the 10x8 size would be 10 quid a print.

.. I THINK NOT.


The next smaller size is going to be 55p so I will resize them and get out there again on tomorrow morning/Friday.

To the installation team

Ive got these two white frames lying about at home, just wondering if they could be of use to you. They are from tiger tiger £2.50 each so they are not expensive (mostly made out of cheap wood, cardpaper and plastic) . The size for each frame is 5x7.

Anyways let me know if you want them!

Revised Rota for Exhibition Week

Hi guys,

Hopefully the image is big enough for you all to see... this is the NEW rota for the exhibition week, after todays meeting. I've tried to make it as coherent as possible, so hopefully its not too confusing. On the days where jobs have not yet been allocated, we will do so on the day eg. the Thursday and Sunday. I know that there seems to be a lot of peeps that will be doing odd jobs etc. on the Tuesday, but if your name is on the list, please continue to be available just in case there ends up lots needing to be done. I'm sure that if we all end up standing around, then we will send people home... but its better to know that we have more people to help out, rather than none at all! Any changes of your availability, please let me know so i can update the list.

Much thanks :)

Nat

hey nat!

here's the info for the invitation to Callprint. i dunno if they'll actually come but it would probably be a nice gesture, and they might remember us, that way if we want them do give us cheap posters for our degree exhibition...gotta keep those contacts sweet!

SHEET TRANSFERS

Hey People,

If we are still interested in printing May's image on the bed sheet i found a place on the second floor in the Elephant & Castle that do tranfers to the max size of A3 transfers for £8.00.

The shop is called: SUPERTEC DESIGNS
Website: www.supertec-designs.com
email: info@supertec-designs.com
Tel: 02072526292


P.S. They also do printing on mugs. This could be another alternative way to display some work. Like for example have the mug on the bedside table. Just an idea.

Presentation Groups

For all of us who were there this morning, this is just a reminder =)

This is not the order of the presentations, it's just a list. If anyone is missing or is in the wrong group etc, please message on here.

Next week we will be talking about the general ideas to talk about, bring along any notes/images etc that might help =)

Layout idea

Hey people,

Well i came up with this layout, all will be explained in tomorows meeting.. but as you can see i have placed the computer and TV (rounded rectangle shapes) at realistic places as in a bedroom but for reasons also. The main reason is the room to be lit a little (Health & Safety 1st) to show outlines to where furniture are so that the public don't walk into anything and try and sue, lol well anythought?

T- Shirts and Transfers

Hi guys,

Well, i just spent my evening making the prototype (lol) for the t-shirts going into the wardrobe. And here's a pic of it. Its simple to do, and this was the first try... you prob cant see in the pic, (it was real quick from my cam phone), but during the peeling of the transfer paper, its stretched the image. Im sure that i can get it pretty much perfect next time round. Its a ladies XS tee by the way... (ive outgrown it lol) But i'll bring it in tomorrow and ya'll can see what you think about it. The main concern when we were re-sizing the images... (well, Lee and Niks) was that the image was not that big, and the quality wasn't great because its been scanned in, so we were worried that transferring onto a tee would make it look even worse. But lets see tomorrow what everybody thinks... There's a whole series of these by the way...

Chow chow,

Nat

muscles from brussles

well ok, ok ...i know we have "no man" from brussles but you get the general idea

so myself and Sindy are going to be doing the runs on Tuesday, if everything still goes to plan. but! going by how heavy the load was on Sunday, when it was just me and Georgi i think it would be very much appreciated if we could get a big, lean, man machine to help us wee ladies lol....dont want to breaking a nail now do we! :P

so if anyone fancies doing that on Tuesday that would be great : )

p.s i'm in no way being sexiest here, im just having a laugh... i mean how can i be sexiest against my own well....sex.... apologies for anyone whom i may offend though.... got to be careful with today's current climate lol

INSURANCE :)

Hey You Guys! (Goonies style ;)

May, Georgi and Myself, finalised the insurance application. We went for Event Insurance Services Ltd. 'One off Events' Package deal. These are the details of the package.

Equipment/ Contents - Covers your liability in respect of the accidental loss or damage to event equipment for which you are legally responsible for both at your event and in transition to or from the venue during the period of the insurance. (We specified the computer laptop and art work. NOTE! they will only pay for the reproduction costs not the value of art. So for example if a painting gets damages then they will pay for canverse and paint.)

Public Liability - This protects your legal liability to pay for compensation and claimant’s costs and expenses for accidental bodily injury, loss of or damage to property sustained by members of the public and occurring in connection with your event.

We did not feel it was important to add cancellation cover or employer’s liability as it would have cost more and not that relevant.

The insurance will cover us during the dates of the exhibition, equipment protection to the value of £2500 (as £5000 cost more). The public insurance included in the package covers us up to the value of one million, lol.

Great, Fantastic!,Fab! Amazing News!!

so just had a wee chat with young Christopher about the prints....he was amazed at how little their was for him to do ha.

anyways just asked him a rough estimate on printing cost and guess what guys and gurls!!!! : O : O...............ITS FREE!!! now is it just me, or is that just amaaaaaazing! lol : D.

i for one am pretty chuffed to say the least! : ) we all knows what that means.....more money for jesus juice lol

....and now everything is coming together. YEAH!! : )

the sun is shining.... the birds are singing.... theirs a nip in the air (but never mind).... and we have free print!

Crush A Grape Happy!

haha

Opening times

There seems to be some confusion about the precise opening times...as far as I can remember (and I might be wrong!), the 5th-6th December opening times are 5-10pm (so the invites are correct). However the preview night is 7pm to ? Does the Foundry stay open until 12 or does it close at 11pm? This needs to be sorted for the invites which at the moment say 7-12.

Also a thought: when doing the invigilation rosta do make sure that the team always includes a male student present. Before anyone shouts at me for being sexist.....just think, it is a pub and the later it gets the worse for drink will the visitors to the exhibition be. So just as a precaution I think it would be a good policy.

Another online invitation

Here's an alternative invitation you can use online by sending it to your friends or posting it to your online profiles.

Small Prints

Are you guys still going to chuck all small prints onto one file or would you consider printing the smaller ones at Jessops, as I suggested last Wednesday?

I can do that if you want, just need the files on Wednesday.

It would save a lot of time and hassle. :)

hello all! here r a few pics from the shoot...

Unimportant Notice...

Hi guys,
just a quick note to let everyone know that the website has been updated to include the relevant information about opening times, along with the submissions page regarding closing dates and an update to the contacts page asking people to stop submitting work: not sure if they have been but I'm sure a few will still try as long as the link is up!

I would ideally like to update the website with an individual artist page featuring names, links, statements and images of the work. Professionally speaking the work should be in the same context as the exhibition we are working on but that can come after we have organised the space for the opening. If somebody on the submissions team could send me images of the artists work and personal statements as they are at the moment (not necessarily edited) I will get onto developing the relevant sections of the website.

I am chairing the meeting on Wednesday and I would appreciate it if people would post any other problems/suggestions/issues/jobs that need addressing onto the bottom of this post to help me plan for the session better.

Please keep these suggestions purely bureaucratic in nature though, I think the problems experienced by the group in recent weeks have already been quite clearly examined in previous messages and there is no need to repeat these at the bottom of this post.

I look forward to being your chair on Wednesday...

Tom



George Washington used to sit in this chair ~ isn't that amazing?

important notice

to everyone and anyone,

we would just like to say thank you VERY much for everyone who attended todays/this evening.... currently which is still going on. photo shoot! we all know that its been a rather long day and theirs STILL a good few hours left in this job today. But despite all of that. the main point in this post is just to say how disappointed we... yes i am speaking on behalf of everyone and myself in saying that we are very disappointed to say the least... possibily even feel we've been taking the mickey out of. let me state the reasons why....

their has been a collective few within the group... you know who you are, who for their own reasons feel that this project is not "them". which in itself is fair enough BUT! what really takes the mick is the way people say that they WILL turn up but then for some mad reason just simply decide not to... and for some even madder reason don't feel that they need to contact anyone of us... despite us all knowing each other for nearly 3 years now.

and this isn't just about today, its about the whole past 10 weeks... yes! time does fly by when your constantly busy!. i don't want to be horrible because its not me, and i like to think you all know me well enough to know that, that is true.

but we are sat here now, constantly doing stuff and HELPING OTHERS OUT! most of us have been on the go since 8.30am!!! thats already 12 hours.

the main thing is that this is a group project, and fair enough Pats posted a "stern" message up earlier regarding this topic, which is really appreciate but come on guys, has it come to this that our lecturer has to feel the need to remind everyone.... seriously though, has it?
