Hi Group One
It's very important that people sort out equipment by Friday. After we received everyone's proforma's and told Jordan about the amount of equipment we needed he insisted that it was too much and so we had a meeting a few weeks ago in which many of you agreed to downscale on your needs. Several people also offered to lend their own equipment.
Despite many people agreeing to downscale it seems that we have more people needing equipment than what we have available. It's quite late in the day and the committees don't have time to sort this out so please could you all agree amoung yourselves what you are using and then e-mail mashow@wimbledonmashow.com to let us know.
We have:
2 Projectors
3 Monitors
3 DVD players
1 Camera
If anyone has any equipment that they can lend out then please e-mail the group saying what you have. If anyone has their own projector or any speakers or amplifiers then please let us know.

Work MUST be at The Nunnery by Monday
All work needs to be at The Nunnery by the end of Monday in the week you are showing in order to successfully curate the exhibition.
For those who can't be there, that is ok, so long as the work is there. We will be transporting work by van on the Monday mornings each week. If you would like to put your work on the van, please leave it in the seminar space by 5pm on the previous Friday. Your work must be packed (so as not to be damaged, or damage other work) and labelled with your name.
Once the work has been situated at the Nunnery you can install it at your own convenience, or arrange for someone else to do it. We can stay as we want in the evenings.
If you have any problems, please talk to the Transport and Technical Committee.

Important Meeting Wednesday 20th February 12pm
Hello
With the Interim show imminent, we would like to have a final meeting with everyone participating on Wednesday 20th February at 12 o'clock lunchtime in the MA studios (the seminar space if it is free). It will be a quick meeting, but is particularly important for those showing in the first week, and those using technical equipment.
I know that many part-time students can't come in on a Wednesday, but if you have any technical requirements, questions, contributions etc, please let us know.
Also, it is very important that all the work is in The Nunnery on the Monday of each week. This is because in order to curate the show successfully we (as a group) need to see all the work, in order to see how it works within the space, and next to other people's work. The exhibition will be terrible if half the works are just plonked in at the last minute with no consideration to how they relate to anything else.
Kind Regards
The Planning Committee

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.

Studio space overlays
Another idea Pippa and I had was taking a low-grade shot of each studio space in the block and superimposing them, so the resulting image showed a lot of activity but no particular identity (Approaches to what? etc.)

hi everyone
I think this has already been suggested - we could use a text-based image like the example attached

Hi everyone,
I got an email back from the chinchilla people-
I got an email back from the chinchilla people-
Hi there,
Please find attached picture requested. Please feel free to edit out the writing at the bottom if needed.
I would be interested to read more about your Interim show at the end of February. If you do decide to go with my picture would you drop me an email to let me know?
Kind Regards
Michelle Williams
I think the image she has sent is bigger (324K) she seems very nice and would be willing to help us if we need anything else.

hi
there seems to be a profusion of non-chinchilla images, even though that's what everyone voted for last week. If we are still using the chinchilla idea then we should stick to this, if we are going to have another vote for the image then here is my suggestion, based on an image Chris posted. Simple, graphic, interesting, intriguing and relates to the idea of a 'show' without having unwanted meanings or possible weird connotation's

An external curator
I don't know who saw the last post I wrote about this, but I have a friend, Howard Dyke, who I think could be a good person to curate the interim show. He has curated a few group shows in the past, and the last one I went to was very good.
He has sent me a cv and a catalogue for "The Juddykes", a show he co-curated with Ben Judd last summer. I'll pin these up on the notice board for everyone to look at.
I can't make the meeting tomorrow lunch time, but let me know what you think, and maybe we could get him in to talk to us as a group.

Okay there's naffness and of course it's rough: yet, also, geographically specific cultural appropriateness. And, y'know what Jeremy (nice Nunnery "invigilator") told me?: they're about to rename the road the Nunnery's situated on, from "Bow Road" to Olympic Boulevard"-You know what peops, we ain't "atmosphere", we is people, you get me?
