FRAME WORKSHOP VISIT & DIARY

(Mo, Malcolm, Steve and Borin, 19.2.11) We met with Robin Peters at Frame Workshop & Gallery, 22 St Nicholas Street, IP1 1TJ to discuss Freelance's 'The Discarded Made Beautiful' exhibition to run through April. 2011. Dates. 1. Thursday 24 February, 8pm: Freelance meeting at Angela's to make final decisions on costings, initiate VistaPrint postcard invite to P.V. (Andrew). Print-run: 100 / more? 2. Monday 7 March: deadline for label text (to Mo): Name of artist, title, medium (in brief), price. Complete file to be emailed to Robin for production as card labels for show. Also deadline for Artist's Statement (or C.V.) text. 3. Thursday 24 March, 8pm: Freelance meeting at Angela's (brought forward a week). 4. Tuesday 5 April, 9 to 11 am. Delivery of work/hanging (Susie, Borin with a car). 5. Wednesday 6 April, 6.30 to 8.30pm: Private View at Frame Workshop. 6. Thursday 28th April, 8pm. Freelance meeting at Angela's. 7. Saturday 30 April. 'Discarded...' show finishes. 8. Take-down Monday or Tuesday following. 'Selling off the wall'. We have enough stock, we think, to make this possible - accepting that the exhibition will change accordingly throughout the month it is open. Towards the end of the run, we suggest that any pieces which are held in stock will be brought out to be shown. The exception to 'selling off the wall' will be the Private View. Suggestion is that anything sold at the P.V. will remain on the wall with orange spot for the following week, to be collected by buyer then. This will make things less frantic on the evening of the P.V. Table. We do have quite a bit of material which needs to be shown on a flat surface. We will provide one large and one small table + white sheets. Suspended work. There are four screwed-in metal loops in the beams above the large front windows of the gallery (two loops on each side). The window to the right of the door (as you enter the shop) has lettering on it. Mark's mobile would look good on the clear window on the left. Anyone else who else would like to suspend work? Could suspend a horizontal rod from loops and hang more items from the rod? Promo. Press release to be written by Borin, OK'd by members at Feb. meeting. Ferial to send out to her mailing list. Any other texts to be written by Borin. All to be shared with Robin at the gallery before publication.
