Curation

There are some quite nice wooden frames hanging out in the studios (in the little attic hideaway in 1st year studio mainly). I thought, it might be nice if we had a frame each and made work to go inside, so we can have a wall where all of us are represented... I have seen an exhibition of Andy Warhol illustrations in timothy taylor gallery, which I think is well curated and terribly simple: wood frames in clusters and quotes screen printed directly onto the wall. What do people think? It would mean less individual space, of course, but maybe it would be nice to have something communal? So far I have counted 37 frames & there are some different shapes and sizes...

you probably got ali's email already but if not then come to meeting on wednesday 2.30pm to see some pictures/videos of the space we went to see at truman brewery just to see that everyone would be happy to have our show there.. fingers crossed.. it looks good.. rossxxxx

COLLEGE FUNDING: AN UPDATE

Christopher Sharrock wrote:
Dear David,
I have been reading your proposal, and would be grateful if you could clarify how much funding you think you will be able to raise yourself, and how much you will need from us? A costings breakdown would also be very useful.
I look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Regards, Christopher Sharrock

So I wrote:
Dear Christopher,
the break down is as follows:
£ 4500 gallery space in the Truman Brewery. (£2500 deposit)
£ 3000 printing catalogue.
each illustrator taking part in the exhibition is contribiting £100. I estimate that £2500 - £3000 can be raised this way, basically enough for the deposit. We are also organising further fundraising events such as music events at the corsica studio as well as jumble sales to muster the rest of the money for the space.
We are also looking at sponcorship and considering selling ad space in the catalogue, but realy Chris I like to think this is were you come in. I am aware that the graphics department are given financial support for the production of their catalogues, and i hope that budgets can be fairly distributed to include the illustration course as well.
we would greatly appreciate the support
many thanks
David

(Honestly its fucking ping pong)

meeting tomorrow at 2.30 chaps.
fundraising/sponsorship ppl please try to be there as we need to sort out..er..fundraising and sponsorship

MONEY!

my god this blogger things driving me nuts, i created an account whilst drunk last night and cant remember anything - just had to do it ALL again..
Anyway - here's the deal with the money: I have opened an account with lloyds that will open on friday (not today). i thought it took seven days but it turned out to be seven working days so next friday is the day. As im sure you all know, its a hundred pounds each and can be deposited in the following ways:
1) cheque - made payable to illustration degree show and given to me - Ill be in probably every day next week.

2) deposited directly into the account - as of friday you can pay the money directly into lloyds (theres one by the green), but you must must MUST keep the receipt and give it to me. its going to get complicated if i have to look through all the money figuring out what comes from who.

3) sent online - you can transfer it to illustration degree show via online banking, and just make sure you put your name in the reference box so I can see who's paid.

please dont bring cash in, i dont want to get mugged! (plus ill probably spend it on sandwiches)

If you havent seen the sign in the studio, Im putting on a jumble sale soon (ill let you know when), please bring in your jumble! If we sell plenty of stuff we can make around another hundred, which cant hurt if we do a couple of 'em.

I think we need to start organising fundraisers - i dont know if the fundraising/sponsorship people would like to have a meeting before weds so we could have something organised before the meeting - let me know.

we are trying to figure out as quick as we can who is actually going to pay and be involved, and who isnt, then we can sort out some more specific things and get an idea how much money we need. I think Ali's going to send an email asking who's doing what, so please let her know asap.

oh, and the catalogue people (sorry this is really long i havent spoken to anyone all day) - im not sure if 2000 is enough - is that how many they usually do? coz i know there's way over 2000 coming to the college show alone and thats the main place that they'll get picked up.

ok ill leave you all alone now.
gimme your money.

catalogue

hello everyone, we really need 3 pieces of work from you all by next wednesday (17th) so we can start designing a mock-up catalogue. But don't worry, they DO NOT necessarily have to be the actual pieces you want to submit for the final book, it's just so we can start laying things out on indesign - something you've already done that is quite typical of your work would be fine.
I have contacted the printers who produced last year's catalogue and they're going to get back to me with an estimation of the cost - I told them 2000 copies but if anyone has more of an idea how many you think we'll need please let me know! Ta, and please get that work to us as soon as you can. My email is: paper.horse@virgin.net or you can leave it in the studio under the notice (photocopies are fine, I don't want to risk original work going missing!) Amy xx

minutes 10.01.

We've been pencilled in for a space in the truman brewery. For 4500pounds, deposit 2500 pounds.
Payment in cheques (100) goes to rosie, made to Illustration degreeshow.
Account opens next week wednesday for direct paying in.
If you deposit, keep receipt.
The free range offers not only the space but also publicity through their catalogue and website, where we can submit / upload images.
Rosie's organising a jumble sale, so bring stuff in.
Designs for tshirts for topman should be submitted to bea on A4 paper.
That's it for now.
Come to the meeting next wednesday for more detail and info.

meeting / money

hello team degree show!

er.. i think we agreed last term that we'd all meet up every wednesday
at
2.30, so im just reminding you all that we're meeting this weds in the
studio. Im setting up a bank account tomorrow so ill give you the
details
about paying your 100 on weds - basically you will either need to bring
in a
cheque, or deposit it directly in the account and KEEP THE RECEIPT or i
will
think youre lying and spend your money on jewels.
the sooner we can get our money together the better, because, as you
will
hear on weds, we are "pencilled in" for a really nice room in the
truman
brewery a week after the degree show, but we are second to another
group of
people. it would probably do us a lot of good to run at them with
fistfuls
of cash before these other people can, so the sooner we have money, the
better our chances i reckon. (its a little more complex than this but
bla 
bla you get it). also, as most of us just got our loans, its the best
time
for everyone to fork out a hundred quid.

some of you already know all this and more - sorry for boring you.

anyway - see you all tomorrow or weds, where we will have discussions
aplenty.

love rosie x
