After a group of us got together to discuss logistics we decided that the exhibition would need to follow a cohereant theme as to not confuse and to bind the images. We threw around words and quotes and came up with a shortlist of possible words, the two most prominent being 'dreams' and 'catalogue'.
More discussions took place and we ultimately decided that because of the large variety of work people wanted to produce 'dreams' didn't quite fit into everyones initial ideas. 'Catalogue' on the other hand could allow any work to be included. So wether each indivual made a catalogue of images or the images were only catalogued as a curators selection we would be able to fulfil the title.
Also of interest is that I suggested that due to limited exhibiting wall space we should include a book (later taking form as a 'catalogue') of images from first and second year classes. This would eliminate the need for individuals to produce business cards or individual marketting materials, cutting individual costs and keeping them to a minimum.
So for now that is it. We have formed somewhat of a political team in that everyone present will get a vote on everything we do and the involved group as a collective will finalize all key decisions. Further details of job roles will be described and explained in a future post.
