OTHER POINTS:

MEETINGS:

The next meeting is on January 13th at 10 am at Fairfield, and will be with Stephen and possibly Colleen. Bring a small scale pic of your B&W image to the meeting (see "installation").
I will not go on about turning up other than to say this....

•Bring a diary to all meetings.

•Take notes. I will take minutes but it is on each individual to take notes for themselves on key points.

•PLEASE BE ON TIME!! Many people have to go to work, so we need to get started at the time specified. Also, being constantly interrupted, and having to go over points already discussed is counterproductive. We all know things can happen like trains running late so I'm not being a hardass, just professional.


INSTALLATION:


As you all probably know, we are doing a group piece which will be in the form of a building-like structure. The theme is ""The end is the Beginning" for this piece (and the 9x5 "doors" - see below).
Each artist will do a B&W image on one panel, and then on the other side will be a mish-mash collage using repeated elements of these images, combined to form a new work.
Therefore, what we require off everyone is an image! Hilde will supply dimensions, but please start drawing ideas for it now. Deadline for the completed B&W image from evertyone is strictly Jan 29 to allow for printing and putting it together.

We were discussing having a limited palette of colors to use in the catalogue, logo etc, and then keep these colours to do some watercolour, ink or collage applications on the "house".
Go crazy with your ideas. We showed each other our designes at the meeting and had a really great brainstorming session, where i think most of us walked away with ideas of how we could really bring these ideas to 'life'.
Another thing we thought could work well is if everyone added some kind of 3D element to their piece, no matter how big or small. For example, Levene plans on putting some suspended paper cranes hanging from her piece.
Could everyone that has done their rough please post it to get this thing rolling. It doesn't need to be a final work or finished rough, a thumbnail expressing the idea is fine and good.

CATALOGUE:


For the catalogue, we will be needing an image, sepereate to the above mentioned piece, which will be used in the catalague. Make it be a winner, as this will be the one image people will walk away with.
This image needs to be emailed to Robin by Jan 29 latest.

9 X 5 DOOR:


The door is a symbol of the show. As Jim Morrison said (something like) "there is everything here, and there is everything beyong here, and in between are the doors".
The moral of the story is, everyone is to do a piece on a 9x5inch piece of wood, with this theme in mind.
Wood will be supplied to all that dont have one at a later date.


LOGO:
we have decided to have an image of a guineapig running in a wheel as an image to use for the logo.
The reasons are metaphorical, so start pondering if u dont get it.



Thanks all.
Hope u feel inspired to get started.
Louise.
