1. Next Meeting
Thursday 18 August 11am Room T020 or fusion lab – please could everyone make an effort to attend

2. Exhibitors
Currently Caroline, Natalie, Yvie, Jo, Kristina, Tom, Neil & Heike. Heike speaking off-line to Simon about late submission/entry

3. Preparing your work
All work to be printed (and framed/mounted if at all possible) by next Friday 19th August. No guarantee that work not ready by then will make it into the Show. We all need to see quality of prints/artwork well before the hanging day. Please bring your prints/final work to the Thursday meeting if at all possible. For those mounting on MDF, ensure a 5mm or more ‘bleed’ – i.e. your print is 5mm LARGER on all four sides than the mount size you are using

4. Cost of drink&food, for Opening Night and poster printing
Estimated at £80, so £10 from each of the exhibitors. Please bring to the next meeting (18th)

5. Slideshow
Please could you bring any images you wish to be displayed in the running slide show to the meeting next Thursday on CD/DVD/memory stick – longest side of landscape image 1600 pixels, portrait images 1200 pixels, 72dpi resolution; please order images into separate folders for landscape and portrait images.

6. Hanging the Exhibition
Hanging will take place Wednesday 24 August – all day long until it’s done – all to attend please.

7. MDF
For those not organising their own frames/mountings, there will be an order placed asap for the black MDF Heike has recommended. We’ve worked out the amount of MDF each person requires based upon the size they wish to display their work at as follows (it’s £8:00 for A0, £4:00 for A1; £2 for A2; £1 for A3 and 50p for A4) :-

Caroline £28.00 + £24.00*
Heike £8:00
Natalie £2.50
Tom £19.50
Kristina £2.00
Neil £12.00

PLUS the delivery charge of £80 will be split evenly, that’s another £13:50 each

That buys us 3 sheets which are ~£24.00 each at size 2500xx x 1200mm which splits into 3 A0 sections per sheet. Caroline is ordering one more sheet that she’s paying for all herself *

Can you each confirm asap that you are OK with that cost so we can order this weekend? The plan is to get the suppliers to cut each sheet into 3 A0 sections which MAY incur additional cost, Heike is enquiring.

Reuben (Fine Art Dept. Technician) will chop up the sheets to size the week commencing 22 August, so you will need to organise hot press/mounting asap that week. You MUST have your prints ready for mounting for first thing Monday 22nd

Heike and Caroline are organising ordering and up-front payment which you will each have to refund by next Thursday 18 August

8. Money owing
Caroline – £10.00 for food & drink – £10.00 total
Heike – £10.00 F&D; £21.50 MDF – £31.50 total
Natalie – £10.00 F&D; £16:00 MDF – £26.00 total

Kristina – £10.00 F&D; £15.50 MDF – £25.50 total

Final Selection- Day Out

I have finally come up with the final selection for the exhibition and it’s combination of all the previous ideas I had. The photographs are of people in and around NY City on their day out and about. The idea of these images is to show the fun side of New York, despite it’s commercialism and financial facade. All images will be printed in a grid, and the same size. The final crop of individual images and layout may vary .

NYC update – please read.

To summarise where we are today after yesterday’s deadline for posting outlines for the exhibition:

Tom, Neil, Natalie, Yvie and Heike have posted with enough detail that outstanding questions for edit (and changes or clarification of sizes) can be discussed this week.

Simon has posted some of what he wants to exhibit, but more detail (numbers of exhibits and sizes) needed.

Caroline has posted some of what she wants to exhibit, a lot more detail needed, but so far hasn’t responded to comments.

Jo and Kristine have posted visuals early on, but haven’t posted what or if they want to exhibit.

Charlene has finally made it onto the blog a few days ago but hasn’t posted yet or been in touch otherwise.

Peter has opted out because he can’t commit any time at the moment, but has been encouraged to submit at least one print and submit images to the slideshow.

Barrie hasn’t made it on the blog as yet and hasn’t been in touch.

So, where does that leave us? At the moment I would draw the line under Tom, Neil, Natalie, Yvie, Caroline and myself. Everybody else hasn’t so far provided enough information to be considered for the exhibition. There have been several requests by myself in writing to commit to the exhibition by responding to emails or by posting on the blog. If the students currently not included could please get in touch at the earliest opportunity, they can still be considered if they want to. They can’t be considered if they don’t communicate via the suggested channels (this blog and email).

Those that are included now need to work on settling on edit and sizes, so that we can decide on space allocation towards the second half of the week. Tom suggested a meeting between the exhibitors, I suggest to do this on Thursday to discuss all matters outstanding. Whatever time we choose not everybody will be able to make it. So how about 11am? Let me know if you can make it. Also, Lawrence is around this week apart from Friday for those that might need inductions to mounting work, there isn’t an opportunity for induction again before our exhibition.
