For the term I will detail and experience the process of putting together a show for a gallery.
When one decides to put on a show, the first thing one has to worry about is the pictures.
Little do they know they have to consider space, unity, frames, and all the little nit-picky things that are involved with that process. What I plan to do is produce a body of work, (actually three bodies of work that fit together as one... holy trinity muahahahaha) and put those visuals into a tangible, concrete organized viewing.
The first set of images are the 'Lover' photographs. These will have to first be taken, manipulated, have a size determined, printed, framed, and organized.
The second set of images are the Helga mugshots. These will be taken, manipulated, sized, chained to the first set's frames, and laminated.
The third set of images will be drawings visually articulating the connection the other two sets have to art history in Helga Minelli's mind. These drawings will be researched, related to the 'Lover' series, preliminarily drawn, final drafted, matted, then placed in a box which will be on display on a low pedestal.
My term's work is to do all the little stuff outside of actually taking the pictures.
Today my little task is to turn in gallery papers contracting the show. Then I will measure the gallery walls I have been assigned, and determine what best option I have for sizing my images.
Later, aside from all of the little stuff previously described with the image making, there will be refreshment duty, advertising duty, and many other duties I have yet to discover. The beauty of it all though, is that it will all be documented here.
My timeline is a week before the show goes up, which is November 22nd-Dec. 10th, so November 11th.
Today's deadline is the contract with the art department.
There will be more deadlines, but they are in flux with the other projects, so they are to be announced and will be posted.
