4. INFORMATION ON FUNDRAISING EVENTS COMING VERY SOON!!!

Update from Transport and Technical Committee

The committee members are Louise, Duane, Faye, Adam and Chris.

We have asked Frank, Tim and Doug to drive the van to and from the Nunnery. We will confirm who is doing each trip etc on Wednesday, when the committee meet with Tim and Frank.

We are considering having security at the private view, and the possibility of paying an external security guard. Or a couple of people from the group who are not showing, could do it, however they would need to stay sober, and take it seriously.

We will try to borrow a set of tools from the sculpture technicians, but individual artists should be responsible for bringing what they require. We'll organise a ladder and table.

We think all wall-based work should be hung uniformly, but individuals need to think about the best way to hang there work, and provide the appropriate fixings, eg strap hangers, mirror plates etc. Those requiring plinths, stands etc, should aquire/make their own.

Adam has a Reno Espace, which is quite big, and he is happy to help those with studios in the East End to transport their work. Please organise this with him.

If anyone else has a car they can use, or will not need to put their work in the van, please inform the transport committee.

We'll get a visitors book.

We are planning to have a list of works which relates to a floor plan/numbers by the works.

We think we should have the title of the show on the wall in big writing or as a sign outside.

Update from 11 Jan Planning Meeting

Planning Committee Members:

Pippa - Planning Coordinator and Marketing liaison
Louise - Staff and Student liaison and Transport and
Technical liaison
Laura and Harriet - Live events
Ray - Website liaison
Justine - Fundraising liaison
Will - No specific role

Although most students don't know what they want to show yet, it was agreed that the Planning committee will need to start planning and advertising any live events or seminars. Health and Safety, access issues and considerations of works with audio, smell etc need to be taken into account. A Proforma will be sent out to students in relation to these questions.

Technical equipment. There is only a limited amount of technical equipment available from Sam, so planning or the technical committee will be in charge of booking all this out and then this will need to be divided up fairly between those students who want to show audio/video work.

Planning put together a timeline of jobs to be done. There are only six weeks until the set-up for the first show begins.

Fundraising, Website and Marketing committees all gave updates on how their work is going. Each committee will be updating the blog with their news. The design for the publicity is almost finalised and will be with Jordan by Monday 14 Jan.

The Postgraduate forums taking place during the interim show will be made open to the public as they are taking place during exhibition opening hours. They will be advertised on the MA Show website as Artists Talks and Open Forums.
