Notes on Exhibition planning and curating talk

Employability week - Tuesday 5th November 2013:

The Thought of stuff: May 2010
Alison wilding, Johnathan Callan, Adam Gillam, Jack Strange, Wayne Lucas, Esmeralda Valencia.
Curated by Andy Price and Leila Galloway.
Had a graphic designer
Had a mailing list for private view – adverts in two major art magazine.
Press release – long writing piece.
Idea of exhibition started in 2007
2009: proposal for the show, only one artist out of the original three was actually in the show
Budget draft - £6000 - funding from DMU and RBS funded them but didn’t give them any money, they let them have the exhibition space.
Then did a more realistic budget.
Went over budget by £600 – paid for the all the work to be collected but not taken back afterwards
Insurance for the van and the gallery - where the work was being kept.
Cut the cost a bit by packing up the work themselves, for bigger shows or moving work abroad you would pay professionals.
£800 to pick up all the work
Programme:
5 year old did the title because it fitted better than what the designers had done.
Everyone’s CV had to be emailed to the curators.
Write a little on each artist for the programme, then send it to them to check they are ok with what you wrote.
Instead of having the photos of the artist’s work they had them take photos of their studio space.
Formally keep track of work – a receipt
Create a website www.mittencrab.org  - brought all the other websites so that no one else’s comes up on the search engines.
Gallery seminar
Paid a professional photographers £200 to take photos of the exhibition and the work.
