Another hectic day!!

So, I got up this morning, planning to have a more relaxing day than yesterday, however once I checked facebook, that all changed. A couple of the members of the group got these emails...

Hello Ailsa,

You missed the meetings with Adriano to go through your spaces, you have Fred Aldous window you need to confirm this and meet with him otherwise you will lose it.

Regards

Robin

...and...

Hello Perform 5.

It seems that none of you turned up for your meeting with Adriano yesterday. This is unprofessional practice and disappointing.

You must all attend tomorrow; we have arranged for you to meet Adriano at Fred Aldous management tomorrow (Friday) at 3pm.

Please all reply to this message and confirm that you will attend this very important meeting; without this discussion you will not be able to install your work in time for the festival, and this will need to be reflected upon.

Best wishes,

Eleanor

Obviously we were all confused, as two members  of the group went to Fred Aldous yesterday and Adriano wasn't there so they talked to a member of staff instead. There is clearly some bad communication somewhere! Anyway...who is Adriano? We havent been told about him until now! Anyway, we went to see Susan at the tutorial, originally wanting her to look at our work and discuss our final piece however, we were more concerned about the lack of communication. Susan seemed very confused about the emails we had received, however she calmed us down by saying that it would be a good idea to find our own space and forget about Fred Aldous as there clearly isn't any space for us there. She also said that  our work was looking very good and that we were heading in the right direction. Within the tutorial, we decided that it would be a good idea to share our images with each other, so we could all work with a collection of similar faces.  We also discussed the idea of printing onto acetate and hanging the sheets up. I think this is a really good idea as the overlapping of acetate in front of our main panels, will create  even more distortion, looking very effective. Also if we place a spot light in front of the acetates, the colour will shine through into the exhibition space, creating more of an atmosphere.

Later on today, we also found out that we had a compulsory tutorial tomorrow, at the same time as a our meeting with Adriano. Once again, many people within the group had other plans, however we have arranged that Anne will go to the tutorial and Gabi and I will see Adriano. We have talked to the other group with a spare room in their space and they are fine with us using it so we rang the manager of this space (Incognito) to check that it is also okay with him and he is perfectly fine with it.  Therefore when we meet Adirano tomorrow, we can explain everything and tell him that we have a space! Things are looking up!
