Final Decisions.
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?
SCHEDULE PLANNING
Friday Night- Interior glass store window
Saturday Day- brown paper and 200 photos
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"

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.
Pictures of the workshop
Hi everyone, here are some more pictures of the workshop. Tomorrow I won´t be able to make it, but feel free to select whatever, in case you need some more to selected from.
I need blank DVD
Tuesday, September 15, 2009
Todos III was closed and that's the only spot I know to buy recordable cds/dvds so IF ANYONE COULD PLEASE BRING 2 BLANK DVDS OR 4 CDS THAT WOULD BE GREAT! If not, could someone please ask at La Casa Encendida if they have a few we could have and if they don't someone has to go and buy them!
Muchas gracias!
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.

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."

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.
