04.19.12 To Do List

• the postcard (with correct info on the back, which I have on the HD for Anny)
• catalogue layouts.--AI files.***
• additional info/ideas/details re: exhibition. Begin materials list (ie paint, with specific colors) the students need, so Evonne can start to collect/set aside.*
• PSA storyboards and some rough cuts (crit on May 3 @ Met)
• Cyanotype hand-out with corrections from markups (I have from Emma)
• Web team to post more images, fill in some content. Create a post re: Saturday.
• Catalogue team onto flickr to start using the images in their mock-ups
• Check in re: flickr...make sure that all photos go up (from individual students' cameras and what's on the drives)

***Two things re: the catalogue:

We need to figure out the printing

We also need to think about the size and if it works for images and text. It's really small what they proposed. Just something to think on/reassess when we have more work from them.

Team Building Research Trips 04.12.12

Print Team:

As a group...

4/12: Visit the Met (we have arranged a discussion with the publications department). What did you take away from their process? What is important/essential for inclusion in any good exhibition catalogue? What is considered unique? Successful? What are some examples of inspirations you take away from this trip, which may or may not be of use for the IB catalogue? Each team member should have a sketchbook entry from the trip.

Web Team:

As a group...

4/12: Take a trip to the Whitney Biennial's WATCH AND LISTEN page and review the biennial videos. Please do a detailed review of the interviews with the artists and curators. Do you gain a good sense of the show and the goals for the Biennial? How do the videos contribute to your understanding of the vision for the Biennial and/or the work exhibited? What do you think works in the interviews? What is not as successful?

Research the documentation and interviews used for this exhibition: FEEDBACK

Not every project in the show has an interview. However, the video interviews (featured on the right side of the project pages) are very well done. Not all of the documentation is that amazing. Please do a detailed review of this exhibition's online archive (from the video and video documentation, to the project arrangement and descriptions, to the overall sense of the exhibition that you are able to glean from this site).

Compare the documentation and interviews above (their styles and functionality in terms of conveying information and process). What can you take away to incorporate into the IB documentation?

Exhibition Team:

As a group...

4/12: Go see the Paper Tiger exhibition at Fales Library (upstairs in Bobst). Survey the exhibition. Take notes on the how the work is presented. Do you come away knowing more about Paper Tiger and its history? Who were they? What did they do? Why? What are the key exhibition elements (videos, photos, journals, posters, etc.)? How is the information about Paper Tiger and its history provided (wall labels, didactic wall panels)? How is the work labeled (what is the content of a wall label)? What are the successful/inspirational elements of the exhibition that you would take away/modify for the IB exhibition? Each team member should have a sketchbook entry from the trip.
