12/12/2017 - CURATOR MEETING 3

Although the group had initially planned to meet on the 14th, the day before the deadline for the proposal form, a couple of people in the group couldn't make this date as they were going home for the holidays, and it was instead rearranged for Tuesday 12th. Me and Tessa decided to send out a message to the other curators the night before just to prompt the artists along with their proposals, but I wasn't sure if there would be much turnout for the forms yet as only half the time had passed, and indeed unfortunately Tessa had only recieved one form by this point. Only a few people came to this meeting and there wasn't really much further we could discuss alone so we discussed some ideas for leaflets.

Claude had brought in a lovely example leaflet which, aswell as boasting lots of information and a neat folded design, also folded out into a fullsize poster. This made the leaflet feel much more like a tangible art object in it's own right, and gave it a permenance as something that could be taken home as a souvenir, for both us, the artists and audience. We decided to use this format instead of supplying induvidual pieces of information for each piece to encourage people to drift through the space and absorb the artworks and information in their own way. This also allowed us to associate larger pieces of information with each piece, which helped as the works were dealing with such a broad range of themes, some of them highly personal and delicate for the artists.
