ROAR! gallery meeting

Hi guys, so it is fine to use the gallery in an ongoing manner for meeting which is great. We close at 5pm wed to Sat and 6pm on Thursdays. We are closed Sun Mon Tues so any time on those days if we needed it. We also have comfy chairs.
Good on you ladies for getting us a place in cyber space.

So what I remember from last weeks meeting........a big pencil, discussion of trying to decide what exactly we are gonna do so that we can move things faster.......a day out Alex mooted greyhound racing and also a picnic where everyone has to bring their favorite sandwich.......discussion of artist muses adn how their role is passive as opposed to an active part in a collaboration. Liz's thought that to be a (good?) collaboration each person must have the potential to effect or affect the results.

discussion of the Prospects show and different compliations of a help desk....my thoughts were that it would be good to have a porous desk in some way so that the help can go both ways ie we are not setting ourselves up as the people who know everything but rather might encourage people to 'help themselves' (how very new age) in terms of trying out their own thinking about different works. in this vein we might supply flow charts which guide people through different possible ways of thinking about artworks / formulating opinions.
After the meeting with Heather today I get the sense that we need to differentiate what we are wanting to do from the usual gallery information which is provided.

Hmm, probably enough for the first one. See you tomorrow at ROAR! 6pm Sian
