Response: was very strong going by the guest book. A badly timed world market scare + a strong eagerness to sell over show and a small level of grasp of what I'm on about I think where some of the bigger reasons the stats are quite uneven here.
Gallery: John did most of the arranging, but if I was in not so much a rush, I would like to of put "stairs in mustard" in the spot of No.1 and No.2 because mustard is a stronger and newer work than 1 and 2
I also think now that some of the morning series could of replaced some older work that's been hung before. And if I left the hallway free of work thus cutting down the catalogue could have been worth it to.
Opening night:
Turn out was 20% well-wishers. 20% free food and piss, 40% tafe teachers and x students, and 20% advertising/nas groupies.
Two works sold on the night one to Claire and the other one arranged by Claire.
No postcards sold on the night. Witch where price at $15 each at the time (down to $5 meant I sold 7 of them)
Speech:
Well I had or these great things to say before hand, but when the moment came, I just said thanks to all and handed it over to Claire. Claire was not at her most, but you give and take when you want a show opener, I wanted to open it earlier than I planed because I felt everyone who was going to turn up did. But Claire and a couple of other got me to hold until seven.
After Claire opened, Mel handed her the flowers and everyone clapped but there was a exception of something else. Someone said later there I should of thank Everone. But Mel reckoned it was fine as it was.
Advertising:
I first thought I was going to print out 500 but the quot was too much ($190ish) but making one side b&w and halving the run, got it down to $75. Witch was fine; I have around 15 invites left the day after show.
Post stamps cost about $70 as well, but to date I'm not shore if they're made it to anyone throw the post.
This time around for the email list I had Jason make up a mass post device but the first post was seen as originating from his email. And this coursed some confusion.
One week later I sent it again and by than Jason have it pointing back to my email address, this got instant responses from friends.
Tally:- 140 post, 163 emails, and hand out of about 80.
What I think I missed on was going out side my known fields to attact new visitors.
Sponsorship.
Came off well, considering this was a new feature from my previous shows. Halfway throw this part of the show, I had a relativity pill, which is I'm was not a bankable name and in the eyes of sponsors, advertising could be spent better on other artists openings who are more established.
I did feel like I over quoted on food and piss, I brought 6 casers of wine where only 2 where consumed. And I'am about two dishers over out of 9. but having seid that, I was still aquired these deals so its hard to discredit .
Cataloge: could of had an artist statement on it.
