Today was the deadline for all submissions for the exhibition, so we all met up and went through each submission. We had compiled a pdf of the submissions with concepts and sat around a large screen which made it easier for us to decide. We basically all shared our views on each piece, with a yes, no and maybe column, generally going with the majority vote, and any uncertainty putting them in the maybe column.
The narrowing down process eliminated more work and put many maybe's in to the no column.
-direction of jobs between everyone
-painting boards
-choosing spaces
-emailing back
Curating the exhibition and selecting submissions; working out a floor plan for the exhibition took time and we had to decide on the successful candidates first.
I took on the role to write up the email to send out to everyone who submitted, keeping the tone of voice quite informal while still being professional. I also gathered all information to put on placards for the night of the event.
Over the past couple of weeks we have visited the space at Northern Monk Brewery to sort out some decisions about the exhibition, speaking with staff at the brewery to organise the event.
Unfortunately in this whole process we were booked over on several nights that we had arranged to hold the exhibition, including the night before the 5th for a party of 150 to occupy the room, which completely messed up our plans and made the day of the 5th very stressful.
