Zoe Strauss Final Work-

Thursday, September 17, 2009

Slideshows will be 10% Spain folded into the existing body of work.
Projections will happen at both the solar and La Casa Encendida.
Along the route, there will be the smaller images, with larger groupings at the Bibliotech at the Metro, the theater back doors, the ventanas on either side of calle Valencia before Calle Dr. Forquet and in the window of the store on Ronde Valencia.

Workshop Exhibition:
All photos have been approved, but they want you to put it on cardboard or a carton of some kind... someone will be there at six to explain.
Vinyl design with measurements has to get to Ignacio tonight.

i don't understand very good all the new comments. but if you need to print i'am in puerta del sol or send an email to rociomarvc@gmail.com with the pictures.

SCHEDULE PLANNING

Budget is in and so now the route is locked, with varied sizes of the smaller images.

1. I have to reconfigure the slideshow today, which is about a minimum 12 hour job.
2. Bring the additional photos to be copied
3. Decide the order and placement of the smaller images, and think about the shops... Silvia and Aitor! Thanks so much for nailing that shop on Ronde Valencia!

for the exterior papering supplies, we only need the brown craft paper and to insure that we have buckets

Friday-
in the evening we can start to put the color photo copies in the windows of the stores.

Saturday-

11 AM I have to pick up my wife at the airport

Between Noon and 2PM people can come to work on the exterior color copies.

-----

I have to be available for the slide show test for both projectors when they tell me, that means at any point on Saturday. And I have to be available any time from now until Saturday when the solar is opened.

Today, can someone help me to make a comprehensive schedule for what needs to happen Friday through the exhibition?

Gracias!

El presupuesto es y lo que ahora el camino está bloqueado, con varios tamaños de las imágenes más pequeñas.

1. Tengo que volver a configurar la presentación de hoy, que se trata de un trabajo mínimo de 12 horas.
2. Traer las fotos adicionales que se copian
3. Decidir el orden y la colocación de las imágenes más pequeñas, y pensar en las tiendas de ... Silvia y Aitor! Muchas gracias por clavar esa tienda en Ronde Valencia!

para los suministros empapelar exterior, sólo necesitamos el papel del arte de color marrón y para asegurar que tenemos cubos

Viernes -
en la tarde, podemos empezar a poner las copias de color de la fotografía en los escaparates de las tiendas.

Sábado -

11 a.m. tengo que recoger a mi esposa en el aeropuerto

Entre el mediodía y de 2pm a la gente puede venir a trabajar en las copias en color exterior.

-----

Tengo que estar disponible para la prueba de presentación de diapositivas para los proyectores cuando me dicen, eso significa que en cualquier punto del sábado. Y tengo que estar disponible en cualquier momento desde ahora hasta el sábado, cuando se abre la solar.

Hoy en día, alguien puede ayudarme a hacer un horario amplio para lo que debe hacerse de viernes a la exposición?

Gracias!

Final Decisions.

Wednesday, September 16, 2009

Hi everybody,

we finally selected about 40 pictures for the poster and divided them in three folder A3, A5 and A6. They are all on Zoe's HD. The pictures have different resolution and different sizes, before printing them we should probably assign them the same resolution and definitely resize them accordingly to the paper size.

Who is gonna do that? Zoe, will you do that such that they can be printed tomorrow morning/early afternoon and brought to the taller in order to decide the final layout? How can we do?

error with pictures

i´ve tried to upload some pictures i tokk yesterday at class, but there is a constant error. i will bring them this afternoon.

see you!

Printings

hi!

I will be able to bring 1/2 of the printings (more or less) today. It is printing very slowly becouse of the size.

Zoe, can you have ready the other cd with the prints at the begining of the class? i can not stay longer today, I have to do some extra work.

ORGANIZATION and SCHEDULE PLANING

Buenos Dias, mi amigos! Right to work, right to work.

1. You guys have to make your own prints for the show and I am giving 100 euros to do it. Today you have to decide the sizes, where they are going to get made, when they are going to get made, how they will be adhered to the wall, who will execute the installation of the photos, and find out the time frame of when the photos should be hung from Maria at La Casa Encendida.

2. I am very happy with the adhesion test for the outside photos. I think the brown craft paper looked amazing. It's fully appropriate as a defining separation from the wheat pasted posters and allows enough of the background images to show through. And, thanks to Aitor and Sylvia, there's a number of stores to put the photos in! On Friday, we'll begin installation in the store windows and on Saturday do the exterior paste up.

3. Today we need to nail down what supplies are needed for Saturday, the sizes of the windows that will get the brown craft paper. I need to know the store where Julien got the supplies and we need to triple them. We also need a "enjugador de goma"

http://www.lidcoproducts.com/Twelve_Inch_Wide_Format_Squeegee.cfm

I am still waiting to hear about the budget and the solar and will let you know asap as soon as I do. From today, until Thursday night I am working on the slide show.

Communication: any online ideas?

Communication for exhibition

Hey guys, just thinking....

Should't we, as curators, have something in hand to communicate the exhibition online?

I was hoping to send some friends an email to share with them about what we've been doing and to invite them to come around on saturday night.

La Casa has produced these bright green postcards. It's cool but the information is not complete and it is not altogether.

Any ideas?

ORGANIZATION and SCHEDULE PLANING

Hola. Today we need to split the class in 2... they need the design for your exhibition vinyl immediately. Coco, can you pump out a PDF or Illustrator file today?

And Julien has the papering supplies so I need people to help in the street with testing and making sure that the photos will hold for the night.

Also, I need people to go to store and ask if it's possible to put photos in the windows just for the night... not on the windows, but inside the windows, and we can do that on Friday. I will need at least 2 people to do that today.

Be ready to go.

murphy's law

Hi Zoe
we can't read the hard disc you gave me yesterday. could you record everything in a disc and bring it here today? Puerta del Sol, nº 4, 5ºfl
i am sending you an email with my phone number in case you need to contact me.

Guernica

2003:

from "UN conceals Picasso’s “Guernica” for Powell’s presentation" By David Walsh, February 8, 2003

"In an act with extraordinary historical resonance, United Nations officials covered up a tapestry reproduction of Pablo Picasso’s anti-war mural “Guernica” during US Secretary of State Colin Powell’s February 5 presentation of the American case for war against Iraq.

Picasso’s painting commemorates a small Basque village bombed by German forces in April 1937 during the Spanish Civil War. The painter, in desolate black, white and grey, depicts a nightmarish scene of men, women, children and animals under bombardment. The twisted, writhing forms include images of a screaming mother holding a dead child, a corpse with wide-open eyes and a gored horse. Art historian Herbert Read described the work as “a cry of outrage and horror amplified by a great genius.”

The reproduction has hung outside the Security Council chamber at UN headquarters in New York since its donation by the estate of Nelson A. Rockefeller in 1985. As the council gathered to hear Powell on Wednesday, workers placed a blue curtain and flags of the council’s member countries in front of the tapestry.

UN officials claimed that the cover-up was simply a matter of creating a more effective backdrop for the television cameras. “When we do have large crowds we put the flags up and the UN logo in front of the tapestry,” asserted Stephane Dujarric. New York Newsday, however, reported that “Diplomats at the United Nations, speaking on condition they not be named, have been quoted in recent days telling journalists that they believe the United States leaned on UN officials to cover the tapestry, rather than have it in the background while Powell or other US diplomats argued for war on Iraq."

ORGANIZATION and SCHEDULE PLANING

For me before class...

Julien: 10 En La Plaza Lavapies
10:30 Solar
11 Buy Paper, tape and supplies.

Juan: 1 en La Plaza Lavapies to head to calle de la huerta del bayo 8

-----

Tila and Laura, can you please give an update on what the theater says? Because to hang a large one there will be awesome. Muchas Gracias!

And who is heading up the works in progress class exhibition?

Tomorrow can we plan out who can do the actual "papering" of the photographs on Saturday? Do you guys have any ideas other than the spots I showed you guys today? Can people come up with some suggestions for the streets with very few exhibition spots? And people must be asked if their space can be used, so if you see a good place stop and ask some one there.

Can someone please make a comprehensive list of everything that has to get done? Tomorrow we should have the schedule for the rest of the class locked down. This is going to be awesome.

Para mí, antes de la clase ...

Julien: 10 en la Plaza de Lavapiés
10:30 Solar
11 Compra la cinta y suministros.

Juan: 1 en la Plaza de Lavapiés a la cabeza a la calle de la Huerta del Bayo 8

-----

Tila y Laura, ¿podría dar una actualización sobre lo que el teatro lo dice? Debido a colgar una grande habrá impresionante. Muchas gracias!

Y que está al frente de las obras en la exposición progreso de la clase?

Mañana podemos planificar que puede hacer el actual "empapelado" de las fotografías el sábado? ¿Ustedes tienen alguna otra idea de los puntos que ustedes demostraron hoy en día? ¿La gente puede venir para arriba con algunas sugerencias para la calle con muy pocos puntos de exposición? Y la gente se le preguntó si su espacio puede ser utilizado, así que si usted ve un buen lugar donde parar y preguntar a alguien allí.

¿Puede alguien hacer una lista exhaustiva de todo lo que tiene que hacer? Mañana debemos tener el calendario para el resto de la clase bloqueada. Esto va a ser impresionante.

I know the above doesn't make much sense because it's from Google translate.

Series of the residents

Sunday, September 13, 2009

And hello again... so another thing I would LOVE to do is a little series on the residents of this apartment building... I have been fascinated by it since Julien and I went there and met with the lady with all the animals. A couple of things have stuck in my mind since that first visit but the biggest one is that the neighbors seemed to come in and out of each others apartments. Also, the mix of people in that building is amazing.

If anyone has an idea of how to help me approach the residents and tell them that I want to do a series on the residents and their apartments, I would be forever in your debt. This can't happen for the exhibit, except for the slideshow, but I know I can knock the ball out of the fucking park if I could photograph there.

Muchas Gracias!

big prints spots

Hello, hello mi amigos.

1. The theater doors are a great sight line and I was wondering if we can ask for no parking in front of theater doors for the night of the show? And should we ask the theater to use those doors for the night or just go for it?

2. We need white glue or another water soluble adhesive, double sided tape and large sheets of white or "natural" colored paper. Can this all be gotten at Artesania Chopo or is there a better place? And what about a roll of craft paper? That might be cheap and get the job done. Or whitewash over the posters where the small ones are going? Can someone help me out with getting these supplies? I've got cash for them!

3. Can the places to hang the big photos be firm by Tuesday?

4. In terms of the smaller ones, I think we have to have a test run on Tuesday, with paper and glue and tape to see how it will hold up for the night.

5. Lucia will know for sure about the Solar tomorrow, and when she has confirmation, we can work on electricity for the projector. Also, it will be amazing to get into that spot to have a sense how the show can be set up.

6. The projector in the classroom doesn't have a connecting cord, so could someone please help me ask for that on Monday? I might be able to do it beforehand, but I'm not counting on it. Also, I could someone help me confirm that 2 laptops will be available for the night of the show.

7. Mi Espanol es no mejor. So I am graciously requesting that if you guys have anyone who you think would both be a good subject for a portrait AND would be into making the portrait, PLEASE hook me up.

8. POR FAVOR! If anyone sees the Twins PLEASE stop them and ask if it would be possible to make a formal portrait of them. I just love them so much.

MUCHAS GRACIAS!

Spots for the prints.

Text for the newspaper

Saturday, September 12, 2009

Hey guys! Sorry I couldn't come yesterday, I was feeling a bit ill but now it's much better :)

Zoe, do we have to pick an image from your flickr? Is that the homework for the weekend? ;)

Carolina and Zoe suggested I could help with the introductory text for the newspaper, as I don't have any pictures. I don't know if I was still on time, but I sent it to Carolina today... I'll also post it here to know if it's ok for you:

BIEN, EN LAVAPIÉS

Los comisarios del taller de fotografía de Zoe Strauss toman el barrio cámara en mano.

¿Centro de Madrid o South Philadelphia? A miles de kilómetros de las calles que suelen servir de escenario a las acciones de la fotógrafa estadounidense, veinte jóvenes comisarios retratan el popular barrio madrileño que, como si de un suburbio de Philadelphia se tratase, acoge esta vez las potentes imágenes de Strauss que no dejarán indiferente a nadie.

Hugs and good weekend!

Ángel

Test copies for the little prints

Rocío, the test copies are perfect... I'll have everything to print on Monday.

Final route of the exhibition

Buenos noches!

Not that you need to know this, but I came back to mi casa pequeño and fell asleep immediately and just woke up to do some work right now, at 1:30AM. I know, it's sick.

Here's the final route of the exhibition.

google map La Casa Encendida

Solar webpage

Oh, it's on Madrid! It's on! Es el, Madrid!

I should be out examining light levels but I'm going to sleep instead.

Here's my flickr page... http://www.flickr.com/photos/27822510@N00/

Not everything is up for contention. For example,almost all of the recent love letters project photos are installation shots for my friends project... but everything goes up for everyone to see.

And hopefully there will be more books on Monday, but if not PLEASE share them! Gracias!

Con Amor,
ZS
