Final Installation Requirement Dates

Below are a list of final dates (confirmed with Tom and Paul) concerning the senior show installation. They are set in stone! You are all getting notice of these final dates with plenty of preparation time. No excuses.



Number of prints to display: "Use the space appropriately." If you want to show exactly five prints, request a space in which five of your prints (whatever size you print) would look good in. If you want to show seven, take that into mind. Make sense?




Monday 26th
Paul's class will be meeting during class time at the gallery space to go over final installation locations. Everyone will choose two (three at most) ideal locations for the installation of their work. Niki will be in charge of writing them in an organized manner in reference to a map of the space (map being made this weekend). We only ask that you please be mindful of the size of your prints when considering location choice. After recording locations, the class will continue to clean the space.

Tuesday 27th
Tom's class will be meeting during class time at the gallery space to go over final installation locations. Again, 2-3 preferred locations to be recorded per person. Cleaning the space follows.

12:00pm: The Admin Panel meets at the gallery space to consider everyone's location choices and fairly work out who is going where. AKA: You will know by the end of this meeting where you are putting your work up.




Wednesday 28th
Paul's class meets again during class time in the gallery space. You MUST have your lights/extension cords/surge protector strips at the location by this date. If you do not have hot lamps at the location by this point, consider yourself not having lights for the final show. This is NOT negotiable. The class time will be spent preparing for the installation of lights. This means running extension cords through the ceiling to power outlets and placing your surge protectors in the ceiling above your installation location. Actual light installation will take place at a later date. Work as a team to help each other... there are only one-two step ladders. Check power outlets instead of assuming they work.




Thursday 29th
Tom's class meets during class time in the gallery space for pre-light installation. You MUST have your lights/extension cords/surge protector strips at the location by this date. If you do not have hot lamps at the location by this point, consider yourself not having lights for the final show. This is NOT negotiable. Run extension cords through ceiling, etc (see Wed 27th for more details).




Friday 30th
10:00AM-3:00PM: Final light installation! Everyone will be clamping their lights in final locations. Install your final work in your space. This will allow you to position your lights exactly as they need to be. You may take your work down after your lighting is complete so it doesn't have to stay up all week. We have an office that locks, so everyone can store their work in portfolios safely.

If you have a legitimate reason not to be at the location during these hours, there will also be a two hour period on Saturday (10:00AM-12:00PM). If your lights are not hung by this time, you will not be in the show. If you still have a commitment you cannot avoid this weekend, you may give explicit instructions to a classmate for your entire installation. This is not recommended, but sometimes things are unavoidable.




Saturday 1st
10:00AM-12:00PM: Final light installations for students that cannot make the Friday schedule. Read Friday 29th (above) for details.

If your lights are not hung by this time, you will not be in the show.




Wednesday 5th & Thursday 6th
Final cleaning takes place all day long (specific times will be given at the time draws near). Last minute mopping, vacuuming, glass cleaning, etc. Set up tables for food, post cards, books. Put up show posters, etc.

Hang your final work back up. You have already installed it once at this point, so re-hanging will not take long.

All preparations are done by Thursday afternoon. No installation/set-up will be left for Friday the 7th.
