Beth: The posters that I spent a lot of time on in the print room had been discussed beforehand, as for colour etc. I have expressed this in meetings and the posters I posted on the blog that I had found to fit with the theme matched the colours used for the posters. It was only a matter of asking for what colour was going to be used, but with the blog background matching an all, i didn’t think it would be all that discreet. The colour of the posters was discussed and decided before the fabric bought and the t shirts worn.
I went in to finish the posters on Friday morning, to cut them and to add information to find people had took my designs and just placed them around the college without the information. If it was such a desperation to be put up the day before it would have taken two seconds to print out information and stick it onto the posters which I had to do Friday as my posters has already been used.
I’m concerned people are forgetting the show is an ‘art’ show and are focusing more on making themselves and the room freaky which will draw attention away from the work which a few of us curated…the whole idea of the project being the curation.
I have put a lot of thought and work into this project and don’t appreciate people, however subtle, pointing a finger at me.
I can also stress how important the meetings were and also that that weren’t always at convenient for everybody but there was very few people who actually turned up to every single one, if any at all, to point out Max Emily and Craig for being there every time. I know I wasn’t at every single one, but I attended as many as I could and have been involved as much as I could.
