Alternative Venue
As I mentioned before in a previous post, I was positive that I would be able to get walkabout covert garden as a location. But now that I know the direction our exhibition is going. I feel it is not suitable and also doubt very much that we would be able to construct a room there. I very much like the idea that MJ suggested about exploring the gallery in the dark with touches. As this highlights the concept of exploring and rummaging through things to find out secrets. I will contact the hotel that Pat suggested as well as various other hotels and hostels to see what is available as an alternative exhibition space ;)
I would like to volunteer to help out with fundraising as the insurance team's efforts are not needed until later on in the project. I was thinking we could also sell some raffle tickets worth £5 or £10 each. With this, they get thier headshot/portrait taken and enter the raffle to win the full proffesional photoshoot. I think there are going to be people who would like thier headshot or portrait done and as there is only one winner who gets thier photographs taken, this way, anyone can get their photo taken and also get the chance to win the full photoshoot. We will be able to raise a little bit more money on top of selling the £1 raffle tickets. We could do the headshots at the planned music gig (if there is going to be one) or at the exhibition itself (with photography equipments ready of course). Its just an idea.
Fund raising photoshoot
I have the confirmation for the venue for the shoot.
It's Sunday 2nd of November 10am onwards. We need to advertise this so i'll send Karel and Paul the information so the can design some flyers etc.....

venue confirmation
Hi everyone, I asked about the space above the bird cage and it is available, however there may be a small fee involved (not much though). They would prefer to do it mid week, so I have penciled in the 8th to the 11th of December but that can change if we wish. I will find out the price and bring some photos for the monday meeting. If anybody would like to come and visit the location beforehand and discuss the details with the boss (Ian) it's 58 Stamford Hill. N16 6xs.

Draft Submissions Letter
Please DO NOT start using this to ask for submissions just yet. It is just a draft that I wanted to run past everyone to see if they thought it was suitable and covered all the important areas that need mentioning. I would also like to point out that I really don't like the name 'Secrets'. I think it sounds really childish. We need to come up with a more professional name ASAP. This is very important as the name it going to be going on all of our promotion letters and marketing stuffs. If you could give me feedback on the submissions letter it would be much appreciated.
‘Secrets’ is a multimedia exhibition that is being curated by a group of artists in London and we are contacting you today asking for submissions. This is a unique opportunity to have your work displayed in an independent exhibition in Central London at the beginning of December 2008. The theme of the exhibition is ‘Secrets’ and all work that is exhibited will be shown within a constructed environment with which the audience must interact in order to find the artworks. The concept of viewer participation is essential to this project and links in with ideas related to voyeurism as well as notions of the surveillance society. This is an open invitation for everybody and anybody to submit art works to this project, from degree graduates to self proclaimed artists.
Please read the following Submission Guidelines:
· All works are welcome, this is a completely multimedia exhibition. As long as the work is a stylized artwork that relates to the theme of Secrets then it a valid entry for the exhibition.
