350 Photos

I uploaded the photos I took from the event.

If anyone wants some full size originals just contact me.
mab213@gmail.com


It might be a good idea to set up a flickr account, you can download free tools that make uploading easy as a drag and drop from your desktop or iPhoto. Plus, we can pool them all together from separate accounts.

Pics



















I have a few pictures on the site so far... more to come.

Event Photos

If any of you have photos you took from the show and would like them on the website, please send them to me, or upload them to the photobucket site and let me know. The password to upload files on the site is ucfbfa07. I have a lot of installation pictures and pics of people in front of their work already but if you really want yours up instead of mine I'll switch them out, it doesnt matter to me.

Website gallery

Hi, guys

I added a 'Construction' gallery to the site, which includes a few pictures from Saturday and then the rest on the blog. If we can continue to do those, and also photos from the opening of the show and reception that would be great.

Price List

Everyone who wants to sell work should post their label information along with a price. I would also include contact information (ie email or phone number). I'll make a bunch of copies to be given away.

Flyers and Flags

heres a list of possible drop off points for flags and flyers. i know some of these places have already been covered, so to minimize legwork could everyone post where they have dropped things off? also, if there could be volunteers to bring flyers and flags to some of these spots that would be great too. if anyone needs replenishment of either, they can be picked up in the print studio tomorrow during the day. please add to this list!

MUSIC

Jack is willing to help out with DJ-ing. But, he realized the weekend is the same as the UCF Universal event and I think he was planning to go to that, so he's a little disappointed he would be missing it...and if we want him for all three nights it's going to be a lot of work for him to bring all his equipment there and back and spend every night there all night, so he's asking for compensation. I told him I had no idea what anyone was going to say about that and I doubted it would be very much because we are already on a tight budget...and frankly I have no idea what is even a large or small amount to pay someone for such a favor.

Thoughts, suggestions??? We need to get back to him ASAP before we lose him to the Universal event!

LABELS, again

So far I have label information from Mat, Chris, Danielle, Mark, Jessie, Jonathan, Nargges, Ryan, Mike, Lauren, Amanda, and Bianca.

But I need labels from Carson, Mike, Nicolette, Rebecca, Sarah, Melanie, Hayley, Gina, Jonathan, Jessica, Jennifer, Sean, Cristina, Crystal, Linda. Remember to write your name as you would like it to appear, and then the title, year, and medium.

I'll remind everyone in class today.

EXPENSES

So far, it appears that we are under budget, but there are some holes and inaccuracies in this list:

Drywall - about 10-12 pieces needed, depending on the space needed for Mat, Chris, and Jessica - $100
Posts - about 20, also dependent on horizontals and verticals - $260
Furring channels - about 10? - $41
Florescent lighting fixtures - about 12-13, maximum (18 looks like too many) - $117
Bulbs - I don't know if the florescent fixtures came with bulbs - ?
Incandenscent spot lighting - ?
Extension cord - ?
Flyers - ?
Flags - $90
Food - ?

Total: $608

HANDOUT

Alright, I've done every detail down to the extra space for bleeds. So, please don't tell me that you finally have your thumbnail, it's too late.















PS, the flags are here, but we have to wait until the domain name is up and running to put them out. Becky's working on it.

Radio Show Update! Vote ASAP!

I have new news on the Rollins Radio show dates. It seems that everyone agrees that choosing a time slot that is later, is better than choosing one that is sooner........so the time slots that we need to pick from are:

Thursday March 22nd 8am-10am (during a music show)

Tuesday March 27th 12:30pm-1:00pm (during a talkshow).

I must let Kristen know which time slot we want. I would like to get back with her TOMORROW (March 14th) to let her know!

We can figure out who is definately going on the air - at a later time.

I will NOT be available to go on the air. I have work tues/thurs so I cannot choose.

Which times are good for those of you who are interested in being on the show? (Chris?, Melanie?, _________?)

Please post your comments and vote on a date ASAP.

Rollins Radio Talkshow!!

Hey everyone!
I was just informed of an exciting opportunity that I think we should definately take advantage of!
Kristen Stone at WPRK Rollins Radio just called me asking if we would like to be guests on her show to talk about the exhibition, when/why we are doing it etc. etc.!!! She is also putting together a PSA for us that will be read several times over the next few weeks.

There are a few time slots that we can pick from (to be guests on her show):

Tuesday March 13th (during a talkshow) 12:30pm-1:00pm
Thursday March 15th (during a music show) 8:00am-10:00am
Thursday March 22nd (during a music show) 8:00am-10:00am
Thursday March 27th (during a music show) 8:00am-10:00am

This means that we need to decide what date we will do it and who will be willing to go on the air and promote the exhibition. I need volunteers so I can let her know ASAP.

Let me know what you think and if you are willing to do it!

PROGRAM

Alright, I made thumbnails.










There are 24 here. I have EVERYONE who is on the photobucket. SO, if you don't see your image, that's why.

If you don't notify me here that you are sending one to Becky and your image will be up...I don't know, there's no way for me to add you.

Do we care that there are only 24 instead of "30"? I think we should get as close to 30 as possible. But I'm not going to go out of my way to make anyone else put their images up...we have had what...2 months or something to put our images up? So, yeah.

Thursday, March 8, 2007

LABELS

Please post your label information here. Write your name as you would like it to appear, followed by the title, the year, and the medium for each work.

I also have questions:
1. By when should we have these printed?
2. Does gray paper on mat board feel right to everyone? I need to know where we should get these for the best price.

Tuesday, March 6, 2007

Facebook Event

Hey everyone, I posted an event for the exhibition on facebook so you could invite your friends out. You can add yourself to the event and message me to be an administrator so you can invite a bunch of people at once to the event. If you are unable to view my profile because it is privite just request to be my friend and I will invite you.

Notice

Just so everyone's aware, your posts will always show up below the calendar post. It has a future date so that it's always on top and we can view it easily.

INVITES...FLYERS...FLAGS

Ok, first:

Flags are officially ordered. They should be shipped sometime next week.

Second:

Jessica has printed her flyers, not including the designs we voted for from Lauren. Since we have so many hand-out type cards, a few of us discussed the idea of turning Lauren's design into something nicer. An invitation so-to-speak, but more like a show souvenir or brochure. This is something we can hand out personally to close friends that we know will come and not just throw away something that looks nice. This is also something we can hand to people at the door and they can read and look at while they're there-- AND take home so they remember their experience and who we are, our names...they can contact anyone if they are interested. The idea is to have this printed by C&S since Theo is urging us to take advantage of the situation and have something very nicely printed.

We discussed a folded design with the front part not completely folded to the edge (leaving room for a tab-like side to open from) with Lauren's design, inside we can have a thumbnail from each artist, and on the back a brief description of who we are and what the show is.

Here are some mock-ups (dimensions are 4.5" high x 9" long...with the front cover only being 7" long, so open the length is 4.5" x 16" total):

Okay folks, following is the press release with Teho and Meredith's changes. I'm sending it out today:

(don't mind the allignment here, it's nice in word)

EXPOSED: A 30-ARTIST TAKEOVER

ORLANDO, FL –Emerging artists will invade the new 801 North Orange building, a mixed-used development recently completed by Ustler Development, Inc. located in Downtown Orlando, just North of Colonial Drive.

“Exposed,” features 30 artists who have teamed up with a local developers, Craig Ustler and Phil Rampey, for a unique, guerilla-style exhibition. The artists are doing everything –from curating and promotion, to temporarily transforming the building into a gallery space– without the assistance of a gallerist or dealer. The work will showcase a variety of styles and approaches in painting, drawing, sculpture, printmaking, and photography.

The exhibit will take place in an unfinished retail space on the first floor of the building from Thursday, March 29th – Saturday, March 31st. Viewing will be free and open to the public from 7-10pm each night. A reception will take place on the evening of Saturday, the 31st.

“We’re so glad we could provide the space for them to showcase their work,” said Meredith McGrath, a spokesperson for Ustler Development, Inc. “We gave them a raw space that has not yet been built-out. How they decide to arrange the space and make it work for them will prove how innovative they are.”

“The idea originated as a response to the question, ‘How can artists create exposure and awareness of their work outside of the traditional art gallery system,’” added Mike Schweizer, an artist whose own work reflects these concerns.

For more information, please send inquiries to exposedexhibition@gmail.com.

Ustler Development, Inc. is a full service urban real estate development company founded by Craig Ustler in 1998. Development projects include mixed-use, residential and office condominiums. Recent projects include Thornton Park Central, Eola South, Osceola Brownstones and 801 North Orange, which represent over $80 million in development activity.




-End-

Donation!

I spoke to my store manager during the weekend and he agreed to give us half of the amount of drywall needed, 8-10 sheets of 4x8. I just need to let him know when we will be picking it up.

Anyone have a truck?

Official Exhibition Title

Hey everyone, I know we are all sending out information about the show and I wanted to make sure all the titles are written the same because there are a few version floating around on the blog. The official way we decided to write the title in class was Exposed: A 30- Artist Takeover (with the number 30 and a hyphen).

Radio Promotions and Beyond!!!!!

Hey Everyone!
I contacted both WUCF (89.9 FM- the campus radio station) and WPRK (91.5 FM- Rollins College Radio) about possible audio announcements or PSA's concerning our exhibition.

Jan Whitehouse (the marketing manager at WUCF) told me that she will be able to add our event to the PSA announcements that are read on Saturday nights. All we have to do is send her the info about our event, and the host will read that info on the air. She said that the PSA list does get lengthy at times, so our announcement is not exactly guarenteed to be read every Saturday night until our event. The only other way that she can get the exhibition announced on the air is through an audio posting, which can cost $500 and up! I don't think we have the budget for that, so the PSA might be a good alternative.

When I called WPRK, I did not get to talk to the person that I needed to get a hold of, but I did get some information. I was told that we could probably get a FREE Audio posting or PSA on the air. The guy I talked to said that PSA's are read every hour of the day, so we would probably get a good amount of promotion. I left a message with the poromotions manager, and I should be finding out the details early next week.

Let me know what you think. Any other suggestions?

I am still compiling the contact lists, please send more to exposedexhibition@gmail.com

Possible letter to home depot

I like to present on ucf letterhead a letter to the home depot that I work at to get some kind of donation. I need to get this in soon because the store will be changing management.
I was informed by my store manager that they issue gift cards in $25 increments.

Management team of the Alafaya Trail Home Depot

Emerge is a 30 artist collective made of graduating Bachelor of Fine Arts students from the University of Central Florida. Our goal for the semester is to host a three day gallery event, March 29-31, which will be free and opened to the public in downtown Orlando. We will be hosting the event at 801 North Orange Drive, a currently vacate storefront, that is still in the rough stages of construction.
The location requires a lot of building materials to transform it into a gallery space where painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and video, in a variety of styles and approaches can be displayed. The necessary materials range from 4x8 sheets of drywall and 4x4x12 wood post to make partitions and high hat furring channels and 4’ fluorescent light fixtures to prove sufficient lighting, along with hardware, hanging screws and shelf brackets.
* I’m just using the materials that have been list under budget on the blog
The only funding we have comes directly from the students. We would greatly appreciate any donations that the store can afford to give.

Thank you for you time and consideration.

For further information please connect,
*I don’t know if we should just include my connect information since I work there or something else?

Give me feedback! Let me know if there is anything you want included or changed.

FINAL DECISION





Is everyone ok with this flag design? It's the font everyone chose and I moved the wording "A 30 ARTIST TAKEOVER" the way Theo suggested. Yay or Nay so we can take care of this.

2nd attempt to photobucket

I have put the images on photobucket site. It is under the sub-album labeled "promotions." Some of them may look like the exact same image, but if you click on them you can see that I edited them with photoshop filters. I just took different shots of the paper in dirt and just slightly adjusted minor things, like dirt, sticks and grass. I'm also going to print these out to bring to class tonight, but I won't be able to put them on postcard material, as my printer is out of ink, so I'm just going to take the cd to walgreens, sorry about that. later!

More perspective

Here is a really rough drawing with the partitions to get an idea of the space a little better.

Images for Myspace

I'm going to start adding images of our artwork to the myspace page. I'll be using what is already on the Photobucket album, however there are some that I still don't have images from:
Nargges, Jonathan C., Crystal, Bianca, Mark and Linda.
Please send me at least one image so that I can display it next to your name on the myspace page. my e-mail is danicanuck@yahoo.com

Thanks.

FLAG DESIGN

We don't officially have a website yet (I'm waiting on the people I've talked to about it to finalize things), but this address isn't taken, so I'm just using it for the flag and we should use it for the site address. These colors are based on what is available from Blackburn (although, I went to their site today to double check the colors and the site wouldn't come up...so...I'm not 100% positive.)

I guess everyone can give feedback about font, layout, colors, etc.

total wall space needed (actual work only): 1659" = 138.25 ft

available wall space (potentially) = 164 ft

available partition space= 144 ft, not counting height for larger pieces


So, you can see that either we're going to be really, really cramped on the partitions, or we're going to have to use the wall space (which I know was already being considered).

So, we'll need to update the budget with these new numbers, or start paring down the work.

Contacts

I have created the new gmail account that can be used for sending out mass emails and show invitations. Any questions that the MySpace page cannot answer can be directed here as well. I am currently compiling contacts from various sources, so if you have any to add, please send them to this address. I think that this will be an fast and effective way to send out the info.

Myspace page

As I'm developing our myspace page, I was going to include the participants names and specialisation. What I'm requesting from you now is the name you want to go by (I'm using what is on ecommunity right now, and I understand if the name on there isn't quite what you sign your work with). Also, the nature of the artwork you will be showing, otherwise your specialisation, unless you're submitting something in a different medium. **If you do not want your name posted on the site for any reason, I can respect that. Just let me know.

If you want to see my progress the url is www.myspace.com/exposedexhibition . If you have any suggestions, I'm open to them. Thanks!

Lighting and Wall Plans

This is the basic idea for a single wall as I understand it. This just shows one side. If I'm way off with any of this, please correct it. Also, use this post to discuss lighting ideas.

Budget Stuff

Here is a list of expenses that Bianca, Ryan, Sarah, and I calculated at Home Depot. Please help add to whatever I'm missing, or change anything if you have better prices, materials, or ideas.


Drywall (4'x8'): $9.94
- 16 pieces = $159.04
- However, we need 32 by my count which = $318.08

Pallet wood Free - Sarah assures us she can find them.

Posts (4"x4"x12') = $12.97
- 16 pieces = $207.52

Metal frames to attach lighting (high hat furring channels, 12'): $4.09
- 208 ft.* = 18 pieces = $73.62

Flourescent light fixtures (4'): $9
- 18 fixtures* = $162.00

Shelf brackets: $1.09
- 30 brackets* = $32.70

Hanging screws: $8.54
- 2 boxes = $17.08

Sod: Free
- Have you ever heard the old maxim, "There is no such thing as a free pile of sod" (TINSTAAFPOS)? It's just not true.

Screws: Free
- Ryan will generously donate them to us once he buys some.

*My estimates here are based on a very rough idea for a lighting situation which will be explained later.

Total: $811


Other expenses:
Extension cords?
Stepping stones?
Food?

Traditional Promotion

Hey all. Here are some ideas I had for the post card flyer we were going to use for promoting. One idea was is just having simple bold letters "Exposed" and then under that smaller sized "A 30-Artist Takeover" on a black background. Not sure what colors to use for the text should be. But also including the logo (since we decided on creating one). Another idea was to have an image of "Exposed" on a piece of paper that is partially covered in dirt (like a drawing or photograph of this) and possibly using some real dirt on parts the image. I like this idea better, the first one just seems so boring and people may just toss it or overlook it, but I didn't know if some may prefer a basic look.

The back side of the card would just have our basic information. White background, with the title, subtitle, logo, website, location and time. Should we have all the participants names? Also, I wasn't sure if we were going to mailing these out or just passing them out to different locations. If we are mailing, then we would have to have a space for addresses and postage.

Proposed Floor Plans

Sorry to clog up this main page with a bunch of images, but I don't think I can post them as a comment to an already started thread. Anyway, these are a few floor plan ideas. I tried to keep in mind that we should probably be taking advantage of any outside light from the street, so in most of the designs the partitions will mainly run perpendicular to the front windows. The proportions are roughly to scale and each graph paper square represents approx. 2ft. The partitions are in sizes divisible by 8 ft, because that is the longest dimension of a standard sheet of plywood. This will limit the amount of cutting we will have to do and subsequent waste. The floor plans were designed with the intention of being able to display work on the existing walls (exposed beams). If for some reason we are not allowed to do that, we can try to construct partitions that will run along the walls. I also tried to leave sufficient open floor space for the display of 3-D work.

When I spoke with Theo about the placement of partitions he said that people generally do not want to enter a show and immediately understand the entire space and what they are looking at, so on some of the designs there is a partition parallel to and about 10 ft from the entrance that will act as sort of an obstruction to seeing the entire show at once. We could either display the show name or work on it.

These are just some rough ideas, so please let me know if you have any ideas or suggestions. Thanks!




Press Release Deft/Daft Draft

ORGANIZATION (WHAT SHOULD GO HERE?)

Exposed: Artists take over building.

MARCH 29-31, 2007 – New work by emerging artists will be displayed in the ¬¬NAME building, currently under construction in downtown Orlando at ADDRESS.

“Exposed,” features 30 artists who have teamed up with a local developer for a unique, guerilla-style exhibition. Work includes painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and video, in a variety of styles and approaches.

Viewing will be available Thursday, March 29th – Saturday, March 31st each night from 6-9pm. Exhibit is free and open to the public.

“Shows like this are becoming more and more popular. There is something exciting about walking into a room and not knowing what to expect other than ‘this is going to be good,’” said Jonathan Scarboro, one of the artists arranging the exhibition.
I’M NOT IN LOVE W/ THE SECOND HALF OF THE SECOND QUOTED SENTENCE (and not knowing – going to be good). ANY IDEAS?

I WANT TO HAVE A QUOTE FROM MELINDA ABOUT WORKING WITH US HERE. (I'LL E-MAIL HER LATER)

WHO WANTS TO BE THE SPOKESPERSON TO BE CONTACTED FOR MORE INFO? THIS WOULD MEAN GIVING OUT YOUR PHONE # AND E-MAIL, AND KNOWING HOW TO ANSWER QUESTIONS.

ANY OTHER THOUGHTS? THINGS I NEED TO ADDRESS? I’LL FILL IN THE REST OF THE RELEASE ONCE I HAVE THE CONTENT DOWN.

Tuesday, February 20, 2007

Just a reminder: everyone needs to post their intended workin the thread below. Remember: # of pieces, dimensions (height x width x depth) and indicate 2d or 3d. We need the information so we can design the layout of the show. Thanks!

Photos and Floor plan



This may help the groups figure out some plans. I've drawn the walls from the floorplan with the corresponding color on the photos. It should help to see what we have to work with.


Granted, these are just rough estimates (and crappy photos), but they should be helpful. I think the space is a little more limited than we originally thought, but we won't know anything for sure until get the information on the walls.
If anyone wants the original photos without the color, let me know and I'll post them.

Construction is Fun!

Hey! After much deliberation: Going to the salvage on Monday at 6:00ish is bad for many. How about Tues 12ish? I can fit 4 (including me) in my Jeep and will be happy to drive. (407) 758-2118

Thursday, February 15, 2007

¡Guerrillas!

Here's a space to discuss things worth discussing, all alt.marketing style.

Information request

Please post dimensions of all possible work to be hung. 2-D, 3-D, number of pieces you wish to hangin the show. We can narrow donw the number later, according to space.

Tuesday, February 13, 2007

Sorry, I know it feels like I’m backtracking here, but I’m also thinking of the possibilities throughout the process. For those who weren’t there, we did a quick poll to see about the top 3 names offered, and there was a tie between Gaining Ground and Undergrowth.

Really, what’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name
would smell as sweet. We all are going to show our work, and the name in itself doesn’t much matter. Your own parents will, at the show, misquote the name of the very event they’re attending.

But, the process by which we market it does make a difference.

Take for instance, Raw and Dirty. It’s provocative all by itself. I could envision an advertisement as simple as

Raw and Dirty.
Date.
Time.
Place.

No other information. Especially not “art show” anywhere on that. Having some experience in printmaking, I’m thinking of printing glue or some sort of adhesive, even ink would work, then flocking (sprinkling) it with dirt and detritus.

Or, using Mr. Acconci’s method of using a thesaurus, I started at emerge, and ended at Coming to Light. This just screams to exploit the ambiguity of the title, and can be done in a number of ways. Advertisements could picture a seed coming to the light. A low-lit space could work, with small spotlights on the work itself. We could bring people in by using LED throwies on the sidewalks. There’s a lot of stuff that could come from this.
