Exhibition outlines please

As communicated a couple of weeks ago could you please create a post or edit your existing post to do the following:

1. Show ALL the visuals you want to show in the exhibition (ideally with titles).
2. Explain what size you want to show them
3. Explain how you want to present/frame/mount them (we are using the hanging system in the WFR, so they either need to be framed or mounted or free-standing).
4. Ideally, provide a sketch of how you envisage they should hang.
5. Please do all this by the extended deadline end of day Sunday (August 7th) , so that there is still time to discuss and order mounting materials next week for the following week. If you don’t have all of the info up there don’t worry but please make an effort to put it up as much as possible. Please contact me by email if you have any issues with this. If you haven’t got your stuff up there or haven’t contacted me, I assume that you don’t want to take part in the exhibition.
6. Start thinking about offering limited editions of your work, how much you would want to charge, and/or of you want to sell your originals if you exhibit originals. If you have nay thought on this put in your post as well.

Just to explain, you need to do this is in order to discuss your work with peers and tutor, and in order for me to curate who goes where and possibly negotiate how much work or how big you will show it, if there is an issue with space; but also if I or your peers think your work could be shown better in a different way or different size. This is so that you can ideally show your work to its best effect and not to fit into a given space (of 1m width for example) which would be a boring exhibition and might not do your work justice. You can exhibit more than one piece or series of work.

For those that are worried that they are giving too much away on the blog before the exhibition by doing this, I can only advise you that your worries are misguided. The blog is an excellent way to discuss your work during a time we can’t have class based sessions with everyone, and also an excellent way to promote the show and your work leading up and during the exhibition. If you don’t believe me, please trust and judge the process afterwards. It is also a bit late in the day to renegotiate this process in any case. If you are still struggling with posting on the blog, please hook up with someone who has already posted on the blog or try to meet with me. You all have each others email addresses from the last email I sent round end of July.

Any quries please get in touch. I’d also appreciate it if you would use the blog for discussing your work and planning the exhibition, rather than for ranting about how this is going (you can do that by email if you want). We’ll get there and it will be great!
