Lightspace Update. Because thats how we roll.

Hey peeps,

After a super awesome 8am start, I would like to say a fantastic job has been done on the installation. We are about 95% complete, wrapping up just before 19.00 this evening. So I would just like to say a massive thank you to The Scotch Tape MotherFu*kers, aswell to Michael , Ben and Katie who made it across to help us out today. Greatly appreciated !

We are going back in tomorrow morning to finish off the last bits at 9am.

A few things :

To the guys and girls who were gonna come down and help out tomorrow , I rate as it stands, we are practically almost finished, so rather use the time tomorrow to finish off your Photoshop stuff or catch up on any work you need to hand in.....

Ok there are some issues I just would like to throw out there.

Issues related or issues that involve my team and you ;

1. 1.We noticed there are some images we do not have in our possession, so as the whole submission dates and the rest were so very lenient, we decided to take a different route. Easy as, this is the story - If we do not have your outstanding image, mounted by you, and in our hands by 10am tomorrow morning, it will not be in the exhibition... Sorry, we are not sitting around and waiting for the images. The exhibition is tomorrow. And we worked our asses off today to layout, and put up everything so it’s all spaced out correctly and looking good. We have left one piece of wall space empty to accommodate these late pieces, and on that wall space they will be installed. There is no second option on this.

2. We noticed the program has a few issues , people’s names were not correct, a few images are missing off the program (I know if my name and image was not in the program I would not be a happy camper) This has become our issue, as the mistakes have followed through on those little artist statements that we need to put on the images. We kinda need that corrected, and in uniform (Uniform, I mean all left aligned text, full names and statements) by 10am tomorrow morning. A lot of them were correct, but some were very wrong. We do not want to install statements with incorrect info onto the images, and we don’t want to have to install only the correct ones leaving out some of the peoples info because its incorrect, so please can this be rectified and delivered to us tomorrow .


Issues not related to our team that are related to you;

Ok, there is one mount kit left. And I know there is more than one image yet to grace us with its beautiful presence. So I am not sure who needs to address that. But just letting those people know so when they arrive tomorrow, if they arrive with their image... There is only one mount kit left. This is not a problem related to my team, but I rate its pretty unfair if there are mounted and newly installed images that haven’t been paid for... And if one of the outstanding images that arrive tomorrow have been paid for doesn’t get a mount...

Program needs to be addressed. Some people’s names are incorrect, images are missing, also the outlined points in class, like the box for people to write image names or artist names, they saw and would consider getting into contact to purchase was not put in. Back page formatting needs to be looked at better along with the inner contents to accommodate everyone’s images.

Cool, on another note – Think you all will enjoy the display of your images tomorrow night when you arrive at Lightspace!

  1. Hey Guys - nice work!

    I wasn't able to get to the last class due to work so I'm not sure if mine has been mounted yet or not. I've organised to pay tomorrow night already, does that mean I'll be able to mount it myself? Just not sure what I'm going to be able to do!

    Thanks anyway,
    Rebekka (cutorial)

  2. Branding - A guest book has been purchased for attendees to inscribe their interest in a particular image. Cheers Brett.

  3. Sounds like your team did a good job today thanks guys!!!

    I was also wondering whether you knew if my image - No. 113 Katie Morgan - was there or not??? I had mine printed in the late round (along with a few other people) and we were meant to get them back at Tafe today but didn't....so I'm not sure if they are somehow at light sapce already?? Thanks

    Our team is also trying to get in touch with branding tonight so the program can be fixed and we can reprint it before tomorrow night.

  8. Hey Katie,
    What did your image look like? Should be able to tell you off hand if it was installed today....

    Hey Brett, would you be free to come to lightspace tomorrow to organize on where that book will be setup? I honestly didnt think we were putting this book in as it was discussed in class that the whole selling aspect/ expressed interest for purchase was going to be addressed by email ?

  9. Haha thanks for replying Rob!

    Mine would've been in the first printing round - the girl with painted tattoos on her arm and a blue sky background? Does that mean you've already done it? If yeah, high five man haha. It's all confusing cause Nigel was away today so I couldn't get answers off anyone.

  16. Hey Rob & any others that this may concern. Please note: the brochure was made up of the images that were given to either Nigel or Jonathan on USB, a list went around class 2 weeks in a row for everyone to write their names & image names, an email account was set up for everyone to supply their artist statements, changes etc- this was also up and running for a few weeks. If your image, title or artist statement was not given to us via any of the above methods, we are neither mind readers nor miracle workers. Apologies if names were not spelt correctly, I had a list ( not a class role to go off - many of which were illegible ). Space restrictions meant that a "box" for attendees notes was left off the brochure, Nigel checked it over on thursday prior to being forwarded to the advertising team and gave his approval. At this late notice I seriously doubt changes of mind or lateness can be accommodated for. Either way it's going to be a great night. Congratulations and thanks to the all the teams for their hard work. Cheers Tania

  17. Well done to the Installation team and other helpers in meeting your groups requirements in such a tight time frame.

    With regards to the catalogue - yep what Tania said.

    I had a quick look over the catalogue, looking more so at the layout than proof reading it and it looks great, thanks to TJ & Tania.

    See you all tomorrow.
