just one more thing...
if you have any ideas about FUNDING, should we really need it (eg, sponsors). please let me know- as I'm drawing a blank.
What we're about
Hi!
I'm posting below the intro (aims, content, methods) for our proposal; but we all need to have a think about how we see ourselves as a group, and what we intend to add/ glean from the project individually. I love that word.
Anyway. Please post your thoughts, especially if you want to make changes in the text, and also if you can think of a snappy summary to put on the website.
Invisible Show: Proposal
Aims:
The Invisible Show aims at providing a space where art can be created, shown and discussed. Unlike a traditional exhibition held in a discrete physical location, the Invisible Show is to live in the virtual environment. We hope to use this space to link together artworks, events and ideas in a way that reaches beyond the usual experience of the viewer; using the virtual space to remove the physical boundaries of space and time.
The concept of the Invisible Show acknowledges the importance of virtual space: it’s accessibility, its facility; and as a global framework. As such it is potentially powerful in housing ideas, making them visible across the world; as well as a means to promote itself. Furthermore, the virtual space lends itself to discourse much more easily than a traditional space. Thus, we also aim to establish a meaningful critical platform beyond the usual journalistic models; through which, individuals can express their opinions and add their ideas.
Content:
The show is to be composed of images, ideas and information- about art and about the show itself. Beginning as a blog between a group of students at Camberwell College of Art (UAL), we hope to see it grow in form and in reach. We aim to increase its internal structure by creating a website, adding images, including feedback from viewers, and documenting the show’s growth. We hope to grow the show in virtual space by linking it with existing sites, and so make it more visible.
Methodology:
At the same time, we aim to make interventions in physical space, and so allow art to grow within both virtual and physical arenas- and in the space inbetween. Input from physical space will include artwork by the group members and events conceived to work within the invisible show. Through the website and the events, we hope to sensitise the public to the concepts of virtual and physical art; and to provide a richer environment of ideas upon which the invisible show can feed. In turn, we hope this will encourage people to approach art with questions and with confidence, adding their ideas into the show.
In conclusion, the show will be a broad mix: images, artwork, discussion, publicity, events, and documentation about its own growth. This melting-pot approach aims at using the virtual space to better represent art. Instead of being a sterile, static exhibition, we hope to support a living, growing show; and so, to broaden our concepts of what art is, and how we experience it.

Agenda for next Tuesday's meeting
PPD Group Meeting, 26 Feb
Time: 1pm
Place: Drawing computer rooms
ANGENDA for meeting:
1) Listen to Ros’ tutorial info (which happened today!)
2) Bring Art to upload onto www.invisibleshow.org Website
3) Write/bring BIO’s to put on the Website
4) Ask Mary about written proposal (DUE: 7 March)
5) Business card design/layout
6) Other promo material / ideas for further printing
7) Real life ‘events’/exhibitions plan – Include Ellie’s documentation of Supermarket Jaunt and Fry-up Exhibition for Website
Any additions to this list? Things are really shaping up!
It would be fantastic if we all brought just one piece of artwork (even if it is the tiniest thing), or the very start of a piece of artwork on Tuesday.
It would also be fantastic if we brought a little bio , even if it is 2 lines. Others in the group can help us develop it if necessary.
Piers - anything to add?

Business Cards
I have done mini research and here is a pricing guide to get business cards printed: ( in matte)
QTY
250 £3.74
500 £6.79
1000 £9.51
1500 £21.24
2000 £28.24
Additional Options
Uploaded logo/photo/design (If you place an order with an upload, there is a one-time fee per uploaded image. After the initial fee, you can continue to use that particular image in other products of successive orders at no further cost. You may incur additional fees if your order contains multiple free products). £3.49
Blank Back Side FREE
Black & White Back Side £3.49
Colour Back Side £9.99

265g/m² Premium Matt Paper £7.99
Foil AccentStarting at £7.99

So basically, business cards don't cost very much! I have saved a minimal design using Ros' tea stains image with 'www.invisibleshow.org' vertically at the side. Will show y'all on Tuesday and we can decide what additonal text is needed.
Think it takes 3 days to arrive ! yipee !

Another Idea For Cards / Flyers etc.
Very much inspired by Ros' teacup ring. I think I might need a smaller pen though if we're going to use it!

Team Roles
Hi everyone,
I have finally got around to uploading the roles that we agreed the last time we met. Nothing to stop us all doing a bit of everything but it's good to have people designated as having the final say about things - design by commitee is generally not a good idea!
So, what I came out from the meeting with was:
Team Leader - Piers
Meeting Organiser - Tal
PR & liaison (canvassing for on and offline links & potential sponsorship) - Ellie & Mary
Design (templates, layout, graphics) - Tal, Ferdinand, Ros
Content (administering posts, researching related material, online curation) - Juhi & Ros
Writing Proposals & Releases - Mary
Events Organisation - Mary
Obviously everybody has collective responsibility for coming up with ideas and submission of material because without that we would have nothing to post! Feel free to comment if anybody wants to change roles or come up with new ones.
See y'all tomorrow
