September stuff

September as it currently stands:

Tues 2nd - Sun 14 th - Cecily Tattersall (TBC)

Also Rocca Gutteridge is definitely interested in doing something in the hall for one evening and would like to come and have a look at it. Where can I find out when it is free for her to see it?

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2008 5:32 pm

you can find out if its free here

http://www.aecalendar.com/

or alternativly speak with ryan or shannon

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Fri Jun 27, 2008 7:55 pm

Thanks!

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Sat Jun 28, 2008 1:17 pm

I spoke to Rocca and she's going to come and have a look at the hall on weds at 11. I shall be there then to show her around, anyone else want to come and chat to her about what she wants to do?

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Mon Jul 14, 2008 7:57 pm

Not heard anything from Cecily regarding those dates in early september so I suggest that we think about programming something else for those two weeks and perhaps the following two weeks... any suggestions for wild, weird and wacky wonderfulness? Or maybe just some art?

there are lots of submissions still to be looked at in the e mail, we could go through them next meeting and see if wackiness or art within for september then.
also it's heather's closing party on friday if anyone can make it, i'm not around.

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 10:08 pm

After all that we've just had an email from Cecily (finally!) saying that she does want to do the show after all, dates would be 2nd - 14th sept i think - shall we go with that?

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Wed Jul 16, 2008 10:12 pm

i guess so !

simone · **Joined:** Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am **Posts:** 896

hooray, glad she can make those dates after all...

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Fri Jul 18, 2008 8:35 pm

Yup, that's confirmed - closing party will be sat 13th September...

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Sat Aug 09, 2008 1:28 am

Cecily wants to know if she can have an opening party on either the 2nd or 3rd of september instead of a closing party - what do we think about this? Any suggestions?

simone · **Joined:** Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am **Posts:** 896

sure, any kind of party is always good
will there be lasers?

stephengoodall · **Joined:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:29 pm **Posts:** 817

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Tue Aug 26, 2008 1:19 pm

no burb for this show ? a teaser even !

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Tue Aug 26, 2008 4:08 pm

well, Cecily sent in this quote from Philip Guston with/as her proposal, I see no reason why we can't use it as a 'teaser'....

"There is something ridiculous and miserly in the myth we inherit from abstract art. That painting is autonomous, pure and for itself, therefore we habitually analyze its ingredients and define its limits. But painting is 'impure'. It is the adjustment of 'impurities' which forces its continuity. We are image-makers and image-ridden. There are no wiggly or straight lines..." -Philip Guston

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Mon Sep 15, 2008 10:28 pm

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 11:57 am

so could someone please check that those slots are right . and can i book this show in .

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 12:06 pm

Well, they all make sense in relation to the calender, if that's what you mean. The only correction is you have got a stray 'october' at the beginning of november, but other than it all looks fine!

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 12:27 pm

thanks , ill fixed that . should i change the name of this thread . to "september to January" . the title will become very misleading

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 1:20 pm

Only for those that don't know the score (*taps nose*)

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Wed Sep 17, 2008 1:35 pm

jokes aside . it would be good if people could find this tread . and know whats going on . the interesting thing for people is what slots are available . and when we are book up to .

simone · **Joined:** Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am **Posts:** 896

hopefully meeting up with mirja next week to talk about her show

stephengoodall · **Joined:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:29 pm **Posts:** 817

so met with mirja today, sounds exciting. she wants to give free tea to people in order for them to help out with transforming her exhibition..have discussed this with alex and she will get tea from cafe in pots and then pay using her budget! it won;t be much only for couple of hours of her closing party
date of closing party changed to the 11th of october....could you change this on web please stephen. she will take work down on sunday morning in preparation foe the gallery action day. her work will include painting on walls....i'm assuming that we are painting walls too and this ok?
so yes
that's all folks
oh and emi has got someone else to help out on friday in case i need to work. we thought we could have people put suggestions in for the next ~~logos~~, whatever form that may take....nice bb ~~logos~~ btw. we're meeting friday morning to prepare some photocopies of stuff to take and litter table with.....

so not wanting to start a new thread lets talk about october!!

the days for gallery refurb are the sunday and the monday right (12/13). mirja is taking down her show on the sunday morning and will get walls back to white for us.
i am at work on sunday but can come along to help after 5, the same for monday. depending how it is going i can put the adam and eve stuff up either monday evening or tuesday evening. could some one give me a hand? the projector is booked, just need to find some ceiling hanging things.
also have another favour to ask, i am not here to take down the show on the sunday 19th. just a matter of putting projector away and taking the hangers from ceiling and putting them somewhere safe, prob best to take home. any volunteers?
cheers
see you at mirja's closing party on saturday.....

stephengoodall · **Joined:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:29 pm **Posts:** 817

not sure if i can be there mon/tues evening- what needs to be done- is the projector going to be positioned on the shelf? Also- adequate weird connectors are needed to connect the projector to the device that is being projected- is it a dvd player being used? any idea what kind of hook sare needed for the roof?

Simone- is the show still aclled c'eci n'est pas Adam et Eve? or does it have adifferent name? should i use an alternative image for the website or another one?

simone · **Joined:** Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am **Posts:** 896

yes that is the name of the show
ah, i thought the projector was a complete outfit of what i needed to show the dvd.
so it needs a dvd player as well? i'm going to diy place to find siutable hook for ceiling on saturday

stephengoodall · **Joined:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:29 pm **Posts:** 817

yeh it nees a dvd too but the difficult part is the cables that connect the DVD to the projector that's difficult. I can bring a DVD player the gallery can borrow on Sunday.

what time are we starting the floor btw.

graeme · **Joined:** Sat Oct 21, 2006 5:52 pm **Posts:** 312

There are/were various cables in the a/v cupboard in the cafe and in the area behind the decks.

simone · **Joined:** Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am **Posts:** 896

ok, thanks stephen and graeme, i'll have a look tomorrow.
i am working sun and mon, can come after work after five.
see you then
don't forget everyone it is mirja's closing party 6-8 pm saturday

stephengoodall · **Joined:** Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:29 pm **Posts:** 817

What time we starting the floor on Sun?

simone · **Joined:** Wed Mar 19, 2008 11:47 am **Posts:** 896

not sure what is happening re floor but i do know that i shall come to cafe after school to see what is happening on monday. sorry i did not pop in today but i phoned cafe from work and there was no one in gallery so decided to go straight home....

michaelbowdidge · **Posted:** Sat Oct 18, 2008 11:21 am

martinmckenna · **Posted:** Wed Nov 05, 2008 7:51 pm

anyway how we doing fulling these slots . the one thing we dont want is empty gallery . so brian could go for 3 weeks . the next slot could be 3 weeks too . making it bit more atractive . could we ask jp or vacume cleaner to do something or is there anyone else on standby .

martin

emi · **Posted:** Thu Nov 06, 2008 4:45 pm

I think 3 week slots for now it's a good idea because I dont think noone will be willing to have a show int he gallery in november on such a short notice. louise, the artist I contacted didnt even reply yet.
also, jack webb, the performance artist, wants to do his show on a sunday and I think he's alright with us setting a date for his as soon as possible because he wants to promote his event.

so who's going to fill in the slots?
