catalogue design

Hello all.

Below is the final design of the catalogue that goes to print this week. Its only 99% done, but gives you all a very good idea of what it'll look like. Levene is doing an e-vite this week so you can email that to all your contacts early this coming week.

With any luck I'll have the catalogues to give out at the meeting thursday. I'll let you all know by email the exact dollar difference in cost so you can bring the money then too. Thanks.

Lou.

Meeting with the Powers

OK today Louise and I had a meeting with Stephen and Colleen about the myriad of questions we had about funding and what not.

The responses as were as follows.

Printing of catalogue - they were willing to contribute $350 - meaning the remainder possibly $150 we would cover which equates to roughly $12 each
(we are still awaiting for a quote from the printers)

 Press Release - Stephen was on top of that this morning, he punched up  a press release pretty quickly, while we were there, and was  planning to send to the age, art almanac and trouble magazine.

Sponsorship - Stephen also was going to contact his man at Dean's Art about a possible award for the night.

Matt board - Because not all of use are framing work - the school is going to buy a box of matt board and whoever needs matt board can  purchase each sheet which I believe is A0 in size( pretty big) for $10 each.

Frames -  Stephen stated that is was matter of keeping the frames in good condition to be returned to the school as a priority with using them. So to speak School Property and how it's being transported and taken care of. He was iffy about this point and gave no clear answer. On a side note anyone planning to sell work on the night should have their own framing because it promotes false advertising...just a thought.

Hooks - the school is going to provide an additional 50 hooks on top of the 45 from gallery. So 95 in total which equates to almost 8 each.

Van or Truck -  the hiring of  van or truck is possible. Stephen said we could possibly get the library van after hours to transport the work. However he did suggest hiring a ute or van for $60 day as an easy alternative. He suggested one collection point for all the work which would be school. So having the work and framed ready to roll on monday the 21st would be top priority. This would also dictate whether we were able to secure some frames as having one form of transport would ensure the school the frames were looked after.

 Space at school - we are more than welcome to use the back room at school ( behind the main studio) however we are unable to stay later than 8 on any given night and we can't obviously be there on the week end. So the Thursday Friday(note friday is usually till 4) and Monday before the show are crucial to getting it all together.

Using simon - no go_ stephen reckons we should be on top of it all in short.

That is everything _whew

Info About 1000 pound and A0 print size

Hey Guys, I got some answers from 1000 pound today about the space.

First off they do opening's from  6-9pm - print crew... on that!
They are open during the week 10 - 6pm and weekends 11-5pm

We  are allowed to use blu-tac however they suggest not to,because the walls are peeling, the best suggestion was to use the provided hooks.


They have 45 hooks and hanging system very similar to the one in b space. I think we need to ask nmit to for more hooks...I'll get on that.

We could also possibly make smaller areas with the moveable walls to make the space more interesting.  

The gallery will be manned by their staff, which makes it easy for us.

I asked if we could stay late on the 22nd for set up, they said a staff member has to be there, hopefully I can swindle Toby into being around.

I have also been told for the opening night the space will been opened from the rear entrance( which is behind the moveable walls at the back of the space(this is because of serving alcohol).
 The entance is quite large but not as large as the front. It was suggested to make some additional signs to instruct how to get into the space from the back. So we need a couple of signs.

The rear entrance is only for the opening night the rest of the week it will be the front. 

As mentioned by Hilde and in the meeting and email the print size is 2378cm high  x 841cm wide (2 A0 prints in length) make the file and send to my email asap the latest is the next meeting on the 3rd.
 Don't give it to me, email to me with your name and a0 print in the title of the email,  much easier.

The box group will start printing asap, to get things rolling!

For now

Luke

9x5 Boards

Has anyone asked if we can use Blu Tac on the walls at 1000 Pound?

Email me your address if you haven't got your 9x5 board and I will post to you. I can't make the next meeting as I work Monday nights.

I think it's Hilde, Chloe and Mia that haven't received them yet?? I got your address Chloe!

Hi everyone.. 

Have done the logo animated.. looks cute but not sure what to do with it..

It's slightly different from the original logo just to make it look neater 

when its animated.. oh you have to click on it to see it move
and its a little slow when viewed in html.. not sure why.. might tweak it some
more if necessary

Re: A5 Booklet idea

Hi, I like Hilde's idea. I think it would look good with a screw bolt. I have attached a picture.

Lorena

a5 booklet

Idea for exhibition booklet. This option should be cheap + we would all get one a5 page.
16 pages including front and back (one page for every artist, front and back page, blurb page and nmit page). Costs would be only for printing, cutting and punching one hole through all of the pages. We would tie a piece of string through the hole ourselves. Or potentially buy little steel rings and thread through.

Re: Brochure/postcards

In regards to Louise's email on postcards/brochures.... Only other suggestion I can think of for now is an A4 colour brochure, double sided, folded in 2 places. eg
