BOOKS
The book panel has enough books for everyone, however, if you want more copies, you must comment on this post by Monday, May 16th to request copies in time for the final bulk order.
EXHIBITION
The exhibition clean-up is scheduled for Monday, May 16th. There is a good amount of work to do even if you are finished with your own de-install. For example, everyone's trash was collected in a separate room and needs to be removed. There are still many items left over from the food stand as well. Please plan to be at the bank to help during the clean-up at some point.
SECOND EXHIBITION
Anyone who wants to participate in the second exhibition during graduation weekend, please comment on this posting. Drew Smith is officially in charge of this second show, and all administrative-typed questions should be redirected to her. Obviously, a good amount of people should want to participate for the show to happen, so don't miss out!
REIMBURSEMENT
After the final book order is placed, including books for the juror and teachers, and the Kickstarter goodies are printed/paid for, we will take a count on the money we have left over. The amount will be split 28 equal ways to reimburse everyone for a portion of their installation expenses.
KICKSTARTER CONTRIBUTION
If you have not already, please send your 8x10 image file to Kim, so she can finalize the kickstarter stuff. Remember, until everyone has done this, there will not be any dealing out of the aforementioned reimbursements!!

IMPORTANT Preliminary Exhibition Info
These are a few preliminary items to discuss regarding the exhibition preparations.
Saturday and Sunday are WORK DAYS in the Bank.
If you are available you should be there helping prepare for the exhibition.
Please bring with you the following items (WITH ID LABELS)
-Every utility light you own or can get access to!
-Every industrial gauged extension cord (just not the small indoor ones bc they are a fire hazard.) you own or can get access to.
-Every grounded power strip you own or can get access to!
(We will be asking you to bring vacuum cleaners early next week but probably should not leave them there initially until we get locks for the inside doors.)
Remember, every item we can supply for free, the more you could be reimbursed for paint and other supplies from the kickstarter account.
IMPORTANT:
THERE HAVE BEEN ISSUES WITH PEOPLE SWITCHING ROOMS/WALL SPACE. THE JUROR IS A PROFESSIONAL CURATOR AND IS THE ONLY PERSON WITH THE AUTHORIZATION TO SWITCH YOUR EXHIBITION SPACE. HIS NAME IS ON THE EXHIBIT AND OBVIOUSLY WANTS IT TO FLOW ACCORDINGLY.
YOU MUST CONTACT THE JUROR IF YOU WANT TO SWITCH BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING IN THE SPACE YOU SWITCHED TO!!!!!!!!!!!!
MEETING:
There will be a meeting in the space tomorrow, Friday, April 29th at 2:00PM. Please come if you can make it so everyone has a chance to get on the same page for cleaning/ installing/ etc.
The timeline for cleaning is really important, so everyone needs to make sure they are doing things in order...
#1---Lighting will be key. We must light the entire space with utility lights like the ones from the critique rooms. (The wiring will be strung through the ceiling, which will cause dust to fall on the floor...hence this is the first step!)
#2---Painting
#3---Floor vacuuming and steam cleaning. (Basically, this needs to be the last thing we do besides hang work. period.)
There is more to come, after tomorrow's meeting, so everyone try to come at 2pm to the Bank and save yourself the trouble of reading the blog for all your updates.
THANKS

basis or with students in an order he elects. Be prepared to discuss how you see your work best
displayed or to answer any questions regarding the work such as concept behind the image. These
individual meetings should last no longer than 5 minutes per student.
To Be Announced – Students pick up their work submission portfolio and find out their designated show
space.
Work Submission Portfolio:
Students should have a box or binder of prints that can be left with the juror to be viewed. This may or

considerations form on the work submission form. Also if you are showing a non-traditional media
format and not submitting a DVD please make an 11x17 print of a video still, sketch of installation or
photograph of the sculpture; you will attach the works submitted form to this print. You may submit a
print and a DVD if you like of the same work. If you want to include a DVD please ensure the works
submission form is attached to a DVD or CD case and the disc is inside of a case.
About the Juror and his Duties:
Francis Thompson will be the juror for our senior show. He will be looking at the work you are
submitting to put into the show. Based off of the work you show him he will decide on where you will
install your work and how much space you will be given to do so. Francis will include every student in
the show but the size of the space allocated to each student will vary. To be clear Francis will not be
selecting individual works for the show, he will be selecting the space each student will show in and how
much space they are given. Francis will also be designating one work as “Best in Show” and potentially
other works with more designations such as 2nd and 3rd. Francis has offered to be at the show space
during the installation to help students in deciding what order to show work but he will only be making
suggestions. The purpose of this is to help ensure that the show has a good flow and the best
consistency we can achieve with showing so many different bodies of work.
About the Show and Installation:
After you have been given a designated space by the juror, you the student will decide on what work to
install in the allocated space and how many works you see fit to install. There will be some limits on
installing work in your allocated space. Students are not to install work in a salon fashion unless it has
been addressed with the juror prior as being relevant to the work itself. For example work should not be
installed from the ceiling extending onto the floor in your allocated space unless it was noted as such on
your submission sheet and the space was allocated by the juror. Each student will have their name
printed for them to stick on the wall next to their work and numbers next to each piece that
corresponds to the works list. These artists’ names and numbers will be provided by the Juror.
Complete Works List:
After the juror has made the selections of which student will show where in the space our class needs to
come up with a complete works list that will be available at the show for visitors and potential buyers.
The complete works list shall list all of the numbers of each work in the show along with the name of the
artist, title, date and a price if the work is for sale. This list will need to be completed several days before
the show so we can have the labels printed to correspond to the list.

Each work being submitted for review by the juror needs to have the below form attached to the back of
the print.

The following summer of 2008, Matt interned with National Geographic Magazine, traveling to Peru, India, Rwanda and Botswana before returning to Ohio to complete his degree.

Eugene Smith Grant and was selected for the 16th World Press Photo Joop Swart Masterclass. In 2010 he was awarded the HCP Juried Fellowship at the Houston Center For Photography, was named one of PDN's 30 Emerging Photographers to Watch, received the F25 Award for Concerned Photography and the National Geographic Innovation in Storytelling Grant.
His work has been exhibited internationally including three solo shows at The Houston Center for Photography, Blue Sky Gallery and Lorrie Saunders ArtGallery.

John's work has been published in local, regional, and national interior design publications, and John served as the primary architectural photographer for Richmond Housetrends Magazine from 2005 until late 2009."

Venue
The exhibition panel would like to give an update on the venue for the space our show will be held. As of right now we are fairly certain that 904 W. Broad Street will be our venue, so walk by and take a look. We will have access to the building from April 29th through May 15th. The cost will be $550 for the two weeks and the space does need painting and minimal cleaning. The total estimated cost as of right now is $850. If you have any questions feel free to e-mail anyone on the panel.
Thanks,
Mark Waldhauser

We need people to work shifts on Friday. This is not a difficult job and it is not for a very long time.
We need people from 5-6pm to help prepare the goods for sale.
then we need people to run the booth from 6-10.

VERY IMPORTANT IMMEDIATE DECISION
The exhibition panel is pleased to announce a potential candidate for juror.
(Bio from 1708 Gallery Website)
Emily Smith, Executive Director
Prior to coming to 1708, Emily was the Curatorial Fellow in Modern and Contemporary Art at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts where she worked from 2007 until 2010. Projects at VMFA include the exhibitions, The Ludwig and Rosy Fischer Collection of German Expressionist Art; Matisse, Picasso, and Modern Art in Paris; and Labor and Leisure: Works by African American Artists in the VMFA Permanent Collections. Prior to VMFA, she was Director of Exhibitions at Piedmont Arts in Martinsville, Virginia (2004-2007) and the Assistant Director at Second Street Gallery, Charlottesville, Virginia (2003-2004). Smith was an adjunct faculty member in art history at Patrick Henry Community College, Martinsville, VA and was a critic for a Charlottesville, Virginia weekly paper.

Emily's decision to juror our show will hopefully be a quick one, so we want to make sure everyone is on board.
Zack, myself and the exhibition panel, considering the alternatives, have decided this candidate will provide the best judgment concerning our work, which is mostly conceptual and theory-based.
Please contact me, Zack or Shannon with questions or concerns.
