3W28 Show build

J f, 2008 at 7:59 pm (Exhibition organisation, MADA3 Assessment, Weekly Reflection)

This week was the show build. I managed to borrow a car so I could take my bean slab and pillows to the college on Thursday. Painting and fixing things was still going on and the IT room was not ready for me to start setting up.
I returned Friday where Anthos and cleaned up the IT room and set up Paul’s work, along with our own. After a few emails and phone call I hope that I have set up Paul’s work to how he imagined it. There were some computer glitches and the G5’s are sitting on top of the desks, rather than under them, but in general I think the room will turn out really good.
There was no hoover and with the floor covered in wood and paint, I will have to return Monday to complete my build, finish cleaning up and take photos of the exhibits to post online.
I have to say the exhibition will look really good once complete. John’s projection is looking amazing, along with Nick’s work on the lovely plasma screen in the hall – both give a real feel for digital work. Tara’s wall stickers look fantastic and I can’t wait to see her site up and running, same with Lucy’s book and site. Both Paul and Anthos’s work looks great up on the walls and Sean’s piece was fun to play with once he got the camera to work.
It was great to finally meet everyone after 2 years of communicating online even though it felt a bit strange actually seeing people in the flesh!

3W27 Final Show arrangements

J f, 2008 at 12:38 pm (Exhibition organisation, MADA3 Assessment, Online presentation, Practical work, Weekly Reflection)

It is getting nearer to the time and there are so many things to sort out! This week I’ve had to:

Design and create signage for my installation
Order all extra bits of equipment for installation
Add more material to my website
Test my website to make sure it works
Test soundtrack to make sure it works
Rearrange blog to curate my work over unit 3

I plan to come to the College on Thursday 19th June and possibly Friday 20th June. I am going to drive so I can bring in the bean slab and pillows, plus the signage.

My business cards arrived and I am really pleased with them. My signage will follow the same sort of design as my business cards.

Added my details onto Showtime on the CCA website (this took ages to complete with uploading times really long), you can view here:

I have offered to help in proof reading of the website next week – I would like to do more for the exhibition but it has been difficult being online. I hope to contribute more next week.
