BSA203, ProPrac, gallery considerations, 12 April, 2016

We went down into the RAW gallery to scope out the space.  It's sparsely set up with the current exhibition and I'd like to see us really fill the space.  Lots of ideas on how to do that:  Anna and Morgan could display their pieces on mannequins and hang support material behind them, Ken and Reuben think setting up angled desks? covered in white table cloths will be nicer than plopping stuff on dirty tables, and the filmies seem very interested in the dark blue partitions that are in use as a "booth" for one display.  There are 6 filmmakers,  12? animators, and ? arts/media students.  Juliette has seen Otago University use their display spaces to good advantage.  I'm thinking about how great that Alexander McQueen exhibition was at the Costume Institute with each room telling a  different story.  Quite ambitious, and more than we can successfully handle, I'm sure.  Still, something to consider.  Because now that I look at it again, we do have a bajillion of those white cubes around the drawing studios.  And flat screen tvs.  And mannequins will be involved.  So, maybe not so farfetched after all.

Pieces need to be finished a week before set up to the point where we know how many and what they might be so we can pre-plan how the space will be used.  I may have a tree/doll with book, just a book, and an animatic playing on a screen.
