Friday 24th

Hi guys, just an update on stuff!! Nothing back from venues, feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall. Spoke to someone yesterday she said Borders or Waterstones sometimes put up artwork, I am up to my eyeballs this weekend and won't get into town (one good bit... seeing Pink!! Yey!) if anyone is popping in .......?

BTW the funny logo(ish) thing is me ...1, wanting to see colour on the blog and 2, utterly fed up with writing reports...give me an essay anyday!! (Its all the paintings blended together) Crap but colourful. lol!!

Charlie...do you want me to paint the sides of yours white seeing as I have them and you won't get back til next week?

Wed 22nd

That's great I will carry on with the photo's no worries about cost I have them here anyway, I usually pick them up cheaply when I can........don't expect them exactly like Polaroids tho!!!!

No reply from artspace....but got hold of Jo from Space 109 (sorted Hoardings placement first) then asked 'if she knew of a venue we could use' if were lucky she may know of somewhere if not at Space 109.

Does anyone remember the email that was sent to us all from York uni asking if we wanted to exhibit? I know it was for a specific exhibition and would not relate to us......but I think I'll email them later.....I will wait to see if I get anything back from Jo.

Do you mean paint the edges of the paintings white?

Summary of Mondays meeting.IMPORTANT INFO!

Present, Tara, Susanne, Charlie.

Agenda; Initial showing of paintings and boxes

Analysed pictures and boxes very telling about eah other!

Dicussed exhibition: thought an interactive plan would be best mounting our work on the wall randomly with named identity boxes of each of us so people could see a snapshot of our personality and then identify who created which work and of who. to do this small photos of each work will be made so people can write this information on them.

we also dicussed having this interaction in three stages:
firstly a group made up of people that know one of us very well.
secondly people that know us all but not well, ie fellow students.
thirdly complete strangers.

P.O.A

Susanne is creating small pictures of each of the paintings, 20 of each.
Tara is liasing with bex to get on the Blog.
Connie please can you look into 'the white cube space'at uni Nathan Chenery has it scheduale, think we would nedd it for a few hours preferable afternoon early evening.
Charlie, emailing helen about empty shop space another possible venue?

NEXT MEETING MONDAY 27TH (2PM as a start at studios, if this is inconvient for anyone please let us know)

IF EVERYONE CAN CHECK THE BLOG DAILY AND JUST GIVE A YAY OR NAY TO EVENTS THAT WOULD BE GREAT THANKS.

if i havent heard form you all by Friday will contact people individually.

see you all soon

The Beginning of Painting Perceptions

Hello,

Five of us are about to embark on a collaboration looking into how both people are perceived and perceive themselves through the chosen medium of painting. This will act as a spring board for our ideas to develop and isn't prescriptive or restricts us to any particular paths we want to take. The essence of our work is the focus on how well we collaborate together. Our group is formed through friendship and complementing Belbin Team Roles. The five main artists of this project are as follows; 

Bex Earley - Plant

Charlie Barnes - Resource Investigator, Shaper

Clare Nattress - Implementer, Resource Investigator

Susanne Davies - Completer Finisher

Tara Brown - Co-ordinator, Shaper

We welcome all thoughts and input into our project.
