Set-up Time!

So the day is finally here ! Its time to set up the show !

Thanks to Georgie who painted the plinths a day earlier, making our job easier . Everyone is helping to set up the show, Kim joined our group now, its quite a last minute, but she really does helped as much as she could and being part of all the activities we are doing for the pass few weeks.

Alex, Emma and Bethan helped to hold the woods together so that Georgie can nail them down.

At the main time, Bethan and I painted the wall with the white paint Emma bought to cover up some stains on the wall from the previous exhibition.

Kim arrived afterwards because she went to town to get some materials for us to set up.

In the main time, Bethan and I went to the fabrication studio to drill a hole and to cut out a space on the top part of the plinths so that we could attached the computer to the plinths without worrying it will fall , and the space/hole is for us being able to reach the knots to screw the computer onto the plinths.

 

Once the first plinth is done, Emma , Kim and Alex helped to cover up some hammer stains on the plinths with the white plaint.

After everything is into place, we started to decorate our booth, Georgie and Alex went to the Epi Center to borrow one of the computers while Kim and Emma start sticking paper houses to the wall.

When they came back, we all helped to cut out paper Ivy leafs , make some LEDs and put them into the little paper houses. Alex and Kim helped a lot with the decoration, Bethan went to look for some materials from the fabrication studio , lending some equipments to hang the black fabric , I where as went to see James and Chris from the Fabrication Tech centre to enquire about the auto switch book I'm making. I manage to get it done and it came out just the way I want it to be.

The lights are turned off when the book is close and it will be switch on when the book is open.

After a two day set up (Tuesday and Wednesday morning) Our booth is finally finished.

After that Georgie, Emma, Alex and I went to Asda to get some refreshments such as wines and crisps to put in the gallery for visitors to come look at our artwork. We got help from everyone from the other group as well with cleaning up and putting stuffs away, moving heavy things, it went well :)
