Tutorial with Rachael RE: Assignment 5

Have been clarifying ideas about the assignment, spoke to Rachael about ideas to hold an exhibition of animations and maybe the artefacts that were components in the films. I mentioned Hazel Blears' initiative to use empty shops as cultural spaces. Rachael suggested that if I only wanted to put on a short exhibition then clearing a shop would probably take up too much of my time and money compared to what I would get out of it... Jack had mentioned to me about exhibitions above the Hen & Chicken and at the Cube cinema. After discussing these options with her, Rachael thought the Cube would probably provide more the kind of audience I was after.

I just went to an animation night put on at the Comedy Box above the Hen & Chicken, from Show Me The Animation, put on by Helen Brunsdon and Vicky Brophy. They organise regular showcases of animation there in an informal atmosphere, for free. They're also showcasing the graduating MA students' work there on 16th June. I enjoyed this evening and the curators are lovely and very friendly; however the screen is tiny and since the seating isn't tiered it's impossible to see all the screen unless you're sitting at the front. I have sent an email regarding hire to the Cube regarding pricing. If it would cost too much for me to cover myself I would have to charge entry. I would rather not do this so if the cover charge would be too much I would consider holding it at the Show Me The Animation showcase.
