Front Door Gallery is now showing “Ether”, a show dealing with the concepts of space; both figurative and literal explorations by local Reno artists. Not just a show about space ships- it’s about the interaction with the existence of the intangible.
The concept for the show was formulated out of a series of critiques done with Margo Pelletier and Lisa Thomas, the directors and producers of the documentary Silvia. Margo, after seeing a handful of student work made the comment about how interesting it was that a lot of artwork dealt with "ethereal space" and how interesting that was both in relation to culture and this generation.
The artwork included involves many medias; invented photographic processes to traditional drawings that question the idea of ethereal space, its bounds depths and dimensions.
ok. thats due tuesday.
we have a meeting tomorrow at 6 in our chairs. - god speed.

getting the art
candace is available tuesday morning before 12:30, i believe, and wednesday before 3. if any or all of you are good with either of those times let me know and we can work something out to pick out and get work from her.
i've also contacted nolan preece, his website is here if you guys want to look through it and let me know of any pieces that you are interested in i can inquire about them, i was thinking about some of his nolangrams, but you guys feel free to bookmark anything that interested you and you think fits within the theme of ethereal space.

Things we still need to be done:
here is a list of things still left to be worked on:
1) Art - list of artists maybe? maybe some images??? Need an idea of this stuff before the Curitorial Statement gets underway...
2) I have the Loan agreement forms - Rob you are picking them up from the gallery on Thurs. between 1-5
3) The Cards: now that we have money ( hopefully enough to cover) I think a good idea would be to get the cards designed and on their way, because we all decided not to mail them out, we are going to rely heavily on word of mouth and distribution. Some people are going to have to volunteer to drop off cards around town, I have a list of a couple main places we want to start with, but we want to drop them off with enough time to circulate too. - we also need someone to write up the press release, i have the format just someone needs to do it.
4) we also need artist contracts. I have not typed that up yet, but that would also be something to bring along when whoever is going to do studio visits does. I took notes from Marji in class on what to change on the form if someone else wants to type them up to have them ready by Fri.
5) Paint - the other group ended up getting money donated, so thats cool. I don't know how sales ended today, but I am hoping we get a little extra to buy some paint. I will check into that situation tomorrow, but Sunday and Monday I will be painting the wall in the Front Door gallery. I am going to Home Depot tonight to get some idea of what color paint to paint the wall, but knowing what some of the art is going to look like would be helpful for this part as well.
ok.
thats the list.
i think we plan on meeting tomorrow/ friday? I know I threatened Rob with vulgar text messages if I did not hear from him by Thursday ( and that still holds true ) but what about Aby and Rebecca?
I will be in the gallery from 1-4 if you guys can make it anytime to kind of divide up the rest of the jobs we have left, that would be great.
one final thing:
when we have the final list of artists, do we want them to write up a little artist bio on themselves or does someone want to take on that task? I suggest we have the artist do it.
thats all I got for now.

Written on the back of a Misc. paper...
here were my notes from class....
Power point:
List the gallery : Front Door
List the Artists:
List the date of the show ( Nov. 29th - Dec. 11)
Photographs of pieces + dimensions
include the list of leadership/organization
and the budget
some things for us to discuss would be what we want the space itself to look like
maybe we could include a layout of the space? also if we want to paint it ( which I think we should, but thats just me)
ok thats the notes i have on the power point.
