Exhibition Summary
The aim is to have a number (4 seems the most popular but could be fewer or more?) of exhibitions where the participants are encouraged to show their images or image in a public place. The participants would find out about the location and timing of the event through advertising on the internet (Facebook etc.), media publication (e.g. Timeout) and printed publicity (Posters, flyers etc.).
The locations would be different for each exhibition and the style of presentation could/would be modified depending on the location.
Locations
The location mentioned so far are (I'm not sure if we dismissed any of these but thought I'd include them at this point):
We would try to have the events over four consecutive weekends.
May 12th thru June 2nd were pencilled in as possible dates i.e. after the essay is handed in. (We need to check that these dates don't clash with any other major event e.g. Golden Jubilee).
Exhibition Name
Free Range Photographic was suggested and will be used as a working title.
Roles/Tasks
We agree that we would need to have someone assigned to or make sure we cover the following:
Advertising/Publicity
Possible advertising routes are:
We need to give some serious thoughts to how the exhibitions are advertised. In this context it was suggested we should take some images in the next few weeks in possible locations and then use photoshop to produce some mock-ups of the poster etc. Also suggested we try to produce an artists impression of the exhibition.
Exhibition Styles of Presentation
A number of possible approaches could be taken (this isn’t a complete list but should get us thinking):
Should we encourage people to sell their images? Does this create problems in terms of local bi-laws, museums etc.
Audience
Not sure we discussed this but who are we aiming this at? Arty types, university arty types, photography enthusiasts, anyone, all of the above...........
Research
We should all start to research similar events that have happened either in London or other places. [All]
Budget
We didn’t discuss this but we should try to get some idea of how much we want to spend on this!
Next Meeting
Next Wednesday 15th Feb. after/before the lectures

Exhibition Styles of Presentation
A number of possible approaches could be taken (this isn’t a complete list but should get us thinking):
- People would bring small, medium and very large images to the location and stand with their image discuss their images with other people.
- A more performance oriented approach would require a curator, providing some narrative where images are arranged in groups
- A more conventional approach could be taken where there is a physical wall e.g. Stoke Newington or the V&A Tunnel with images put on the wall. (Something like the The Royal Academy but without the vetting process!)
- Images could be displayed via a projector onto a wall, tree or whatever is nearby
- etc.......
