michaelbowdidge

Can't meet thurs - am away to london at 5 pm. soz.

Like the 'Hang them' title

What say you all we hang it on sunday night after 8 - does that work for everybody?

michaelbowdidge

Can do for sure but you'd need to drop it off to me today as I'm busy then away tomorrow. Can you do that?

Publishing meeting minutes: Wednesday 8th July 2008 Present: Jason, Jane, Ryan, Magda, Nick, Mike. Dummy for insert agreed. Jason to move title text over a bit to the right, and make sure PDF file is greyscale then resupply to Mike who will get it sent to Caric and organise pick up etc. We will ask ...

michaelbowdidge

what about the guy from Leith school of art with the doors - we could invite him?

michaelbowdidge

Not going to be able to make it tonight I'm afraid, as I'm finishing off a job application and preparing for an interview for another job tomoand it all has to be done tonight (i'm working today) - sorry!

michaelbowdidge

I thought it would be good to make a thread for the rapidly appproaching group show...

It has also occurred to me that it doesn't have a name as yet. Given the current artworld penchant for stupid /wacky titles I vote for 'Haar Haar Haar'...

Any other suggestions?

michaelbowdidge

Tonight's visual arts working group meeting has been postponed from thurs 25th June to thurs 2nd July (next week).

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Really sorry to stir this back up, but this is the kind of thing that annoys me Amelia: "Tricky too as the way of man is to need to pretend he already knows the stuff to his mates, but this leaves no opportunity for his personal growth to happen." I have never, ever felt the need to do this in my en...

michaelbowdidge

no news on that yet - he's probably going to set up on sunday. He still wants to do a mural - i thought we had nixed this idea, but I've asked him what medium he will use and whether he has managed to paint this over successfuly in the past. With that in mind he was also asking if we have access to ...

michaelbowdidge

Will put that to him and see what he says..

michaelbowdidge

I think it was the auction but I 'm not sure who was looking into that - I don't think it was me but I couldn't swear to it. On that same note, Nick Chat (tattoo guy) wants to know what time he can get on the sunday - I take it any time after 11 is ok, seeing as we don't have anything in the gallery...

michaelbowdidge

Thanks for sorting out me and Mirja as mods....

Time for a celebration - sing along with me... all together now...

I am totally down with the steel wall paper thang... just to clarify...

(*grips right arm firmly with left arm to prevent it from involuntarily shooting into the air to perform an extremely dubious type of salute a la Mel Brooks*

Seriously, I really like the idea - it makes sense.

Steel wallpaper! Bring it On!!!!! We are the ~~Forest~~ Fascist Cafe! - Achtung baby!

VA meeting minutes 280509 Floor: week commencing 8th June. Equipment? How are we doing this? Mirja free that week, happy to take some of this on... how much to rent the machine/ may be best to use hand sanders? Simone to ask if there is any money for this. Mirja to investigate prices for pads and v...

michaelbowdidge · VA meeting 28/05/09 Any points for the meeting?

Any points for the meeting?

michaelbowdidge

Toby Lloyd is also confirmed.

michaelbowdidge

I take it the private view is Friday 29th May rather than March?

michaelbowdidge

I think you're right on TK13 - that seems to have slipped our collective attention - any suggestions?

michaelbowdidge

Meh... Obviously I mean the 30th, so run the group show to the 28th...

michaelbowdidge

Just to let you know that I met with Ailsa in the gallery yesterday and got her signed up for the bb/pointed her at the artists info thread etc. We also had a long discussion about what she wants to do with the gallery, which I am quite excited about, but I don't want to get into too much here, as s...

michaelbowdidge

hmmm... I don;t think i can make this after all - can we reschedule for this for next tuesday at 7:00 at Simone's house? What say you good people?

michaelbowdidge

so where are we meeting and at what time - Mirja - can yoo make 7.00 at Simone's?

michaelbowdidge

Don't forget - we arranged this at the last meeting.

Hmmm, just wondering if we will clash with a publications meeting? Martin, any ideas on that?

michaelbowdidge

To get the ball rollmg on sorting out the TK09 slots, I'm going to suggest Ailsa for the first week, black box and the slideshow piece for week 2 and the wolves for week 3 with suitcase satying on it current week 4 slot - any thoughts/alternatives to that order? Would like to keep Ailsa to week 1 if...

michaelbowdidge

Sorry Debois, but if you check Jane's post you'll see that it was at the Bowey and it was needed at the end of march...

michaelbowdidge

Well done sir, sorry not to have been very much help at all on this one ...

michaelbowdidge

I'm in the same boat, ah'm afraid at present...

michaelbowdidge

To be honest, i don't think i'm going to have the time to prepare anything. Sorry!

michaelbowdidge

what time does it have to be done at? Is it an evening thing or a day thing?

michaelbowdidge

(*telepathic reply*)

michaelbowdidge

I thik this is a really good idea, but be advised that my record of attracting funding is absoltuely f*cking abysmal, so what do I know?

michaelbowdidge

if the 22nd is the action day i can't make it til after 7:30 due to teaching commitments

michaelbowdidge

Told you it wasn't over...

michaelbowdidge

Great news - well done - I saw it on the re-title newsletter last week...

michaelbowdidge

Forest Karaoke RULES!!! Wot a great night...

michaelbowdidge

With that last comment you have truly become a part of the team

michaelbowdidge

yeah, toptastic artwork pop pickers - me like a lot

michaelbowdidge

Well done everybody for getting stuck in, but especially Martin for a truly superhuman effort in co-ordinating it all and spending so many hours up a horrible wobbly scaffold (!!!!APPPLAUSE!!!!!)

michaelbowdidge

Looks good to me - thanks for taking that on...

michaelbowdidge

Count me in, good suggestion....

Poster from Matias for the Marmots, he would like to have his party on the 19th if that's ok. I did explain to him that we normally prefer closing parties but he's pretty adamant he wants it on the 19th. Given that our rational for closing parties is that it allows people to speak to the artist abou...

michaelbowdidge

Erm.... i dunno, is it complicated or involve secret handshakes?

michaelbowdidge

Nick Chate (tattoo show) now confirmed for 22nd June- 5th July TK14.

Please can you amend the gallery calender Stephen?

michaelbowdidge

Is it me or does numbering the shows make them sound really exciting?

michaelbowdidge

in a similar vein, Nick Chate (tattoo show) has also just surfaced, a bit peeved that he isn't showing 2nd- 16th March. Whilst it's true that he never replied to my last email and responded to my questions re changeovers and walls I probably should have let him know that we had dropped the show (my ...

michaelbowdidge

Yup, count me in...
