Friday 28th Jan...

Had a group activity with Mona to think about Press Releases.
Asked Mona about the idea for the exhibition being held outside, she said we can put it up Wednesday afternoon (16th) and take it down Thursday (17th) night, as long as she can change her timetable too because we have to have a tutorial with her within the space itself.

Kiri got in contact with our artist Niall through Facebook and he's given us a list of artworks for us to choose from to put in the show. Here's his Facebook message...

yes mate i'll be in quite a lot this week. . weve had quite a few weeks so i aint been is as much as i normally am cos i been on a bender or asleep. if you pop down to my studio this week im sure we can sort summink out. if you cant find me this is my number ..07539378785.

whats the theme of the show?
cos im just thinking about what you would like me to show.. my practice is print/ collage/ performance/ intervention / poetry/ acoustici protest music - also you might have seen the bookstand near the library - i could hand type and produce manifestos or pamphlets to give out during the xhibition in a work area within the gallery? im really interested in subverting the gallery/ art show. if you have any ideas around that gis a shout.

Rachel and Becci are going to interview them through Facebook and will grab them at any available moment at uni. Tomorrow MEETING IN OUR SPACE AFTER THE BREIFING WITH JENNY we'll go down to find Niall and the two other artists and get things SORTED for definate!

Mona did mention that we need to distinguish between the "type" of practical work we're going to be showing, Anarchism implies strong rebellion and protest art and she said that the "Graffiti" work might not fit in with Nialls expressionate work.

KATIE :)
