Schedule (11/24-12/3)
Monday 11/24, Time TBD -- group meeting in Marsh gallery to mask off/mark the layout of the silhouettes, and to give all remaining input on the location of the mounts for the pipes, floating shelves, foam symbols, etc. As soon as the silhouette locations have been marked, tell Colin or Mike ASAP so Colin can adjust the lighting before we install bajillion strings.
Tuesday 11/25, 3 pm? -- Cutting string, threading pipes, installing pipes, installing foam symbols, installing hooks, tangling and de-tangling cords as desired/preparing the string for pinning later in the week. I recommend getting the framework up, and leaving finishing for a few days later (filling holes, painting foam symbols, etc). That can be done the weekend before the opening--first priority is to get the stuff of the wall, and then next priority is to see how much more string and cord is needed to make the space the way we want it.
Wednesday 11/26 - Friday 11/28 --TBD. These are the days with the most people missing. Those who are in town can decide if they will schedule meetings on these days depending on the status of the install.
Saturday 11/29 - Sunday 11/30 -- filling holes, painting foam, pinning and hooking and looping string everywhere, arranging take aways, paper shapes for writing, stickers, tacks in their respective spots, evaluating string and cord content, sourcing more if necessary, adding small printed instructions for participating if it seems appropriate, punching holes in text bubble paper and tying string onto it maybe?, construct take-aways...ETC.
Monday 12/1 -- mounting the prints on foam, continue to work on presentation in gallery, construct take-aways if we didn't get to them over the weekend.
Tuesday 12/2 -- hanging the mounted prints in their reserved spots on the wall (can do this on Monday depending on how quickly the prints are mounted)
Wednesday 12/3 -- whatever else can be done before 6.
Tasks, loosely prioritized:
COURTNEY & MARYAM -- finalizing silhouettes and sending to printer
COURTNEY -- finalize Statement, print and dry mount for show display, Print 2: 22x28 show posters and a few 11x17 posters on personal photo paper
MIRANDA -- printing cards, posters, and sending us a PDF of the flyer for us to print and distribute around town.
KIM -- building shelves for print trade, helping with mounting wall items
GROUP -- masking, marking locations of all wall mounted elements
GROUP -- cutting cord, threading and knotting in pipes, evaluating string quantity
STEPHANIE & SUZY -- cutting foam into symbols and painting, and cutting appropriate
size rectangles for prints and painting edges, printing stickers
GROUP -- mounting pipes, floating shelves, foam symbols--anything that's ready to go on the wall
MONA -- if you are able to get your hands on some of that cable you found at Surplus, that would be great to have just to see how it looks with the rest of the stuff
GROUP -- typing up, printing out, and cutting apart words to provide for pinning--made up internet words, social media terms, e-mail phrases, anything that you can think of to add to the supply of things for people to look through and choose from for pinning.
GROUP -- constructing take-aways
PRIYA -- cutting out lots o' text bubbles and any other appropriate shapes I think of on colorful unlined paper. sourcing more plastic cord, yarn, etc. I'll leave it upstairs--group can decide what they want to use and not use, I'm good with any of it.
BRANDON -- silkscreening t-shirts, laying out contact paper for refresh symbol?
CHRIS & TENIA & COURTNEY -- mounting prints onto foam when they are ready.
PRIYA & ... -- hanging prints. I can do this, I'll just need a hand from one or two additional people. I also want to make sure I've got the process right for drilling the holes and placing the hardware, so I'll go over it with Stephanie before I dive in. Chris, if it's possible to mount a small piece of photo paper onto some of the foam so I can test out drilling through the prints before going for it on our nice ones that would be awesome to have.
GROUP -- publicizing. hang up flyers, post on fb, invite friends and family, etc.
LOOSE ENDS --we didn't discuss who would be purchasing contact paper, laying out and executing the refresh symbol on the floor. I put down Brandon tentatively because he did a nice job with the tape upstairs. Kathryn mentioned a specific way to clean the floor so that we get good adhesion--we should probably get advice from her unless someone has done this before. Vinyl can also be purchased from fabric stores, or of course, vinyl shops--but we would need to figure out how to adhere it.
Here's a funny cat video (we earned it).
