installation meeting
Well, it was painful to say the least. "Anyone have ANY ideas?" .....*crickets*......*tumbleweed* ok so there were some good ideas thrown out after awhile, but still. You guys gotta learn to just say whatever comes to mind. I mean you heard me suggest slinkys and plants didn't you? Does our final idea have anything to do with slinkys or plants? Ok I'm done complaining, because it was a pretty successful meeting after all.
Here's what we did for those of you who couldn't make it:
Decided that the space we're using will be the ramp and that we'll set it up on Tues Nov 6 after school so that it can be up for the half days on Wed and Thurs and for the open house.
Basically talked about what I wrote in the last long entry about the general idea of an installation and started to think of ideas for a theme, something that would tie it all together (this is where the slinky/plant idea came in) and then I suggested a tunnel over the ramp... so we went out to look at the ramp, and it is a very large ramp, a lot bigger than I thought it was.
The rest of the meeting went on looking at the space we're going to use.
Our final idea turned out to be one of a diner/cafe type theme. The floor could be checkered using black and white paper in places, and the lower side of the ramp can be the counter.
Here's some things to be considered:
-lighting
-the 2 ways you can go/should we block of the steps so people have to use the ramp?
-furniture
-the walls
-a Fishes issue for the installation or a separate zine or zinelike thing to go along with it (this could be a good way to incorporate creative writing)
Mr. Kuhn was supportive of the idea, which is very encouraging. I should probably check with Mr. Martin about using the space, but he does know this is going on and he did walk through the meeting yesterday without asking any questions.
THERE'S A MEETING TOMORROW ACT A IN MR. RAFAIL'S ROOM!!!! COME OR YOU'LL BE COMPLETELY LOST!!!
And you won't know if there will be a meeting at my house over the weekend because I won't tell you unless you come :P
