Ceiling Space have accepted our proposal and so the logistics and ideas begin to swim.
Here’s a Skype discussion from today part 1/3:
Benjamin: so installation shots on the 6th, setup finished on the 5th
Christopher: Rich Man’s spa on the 7th.
Benjamin: Yey, definitely rich mans spa
Benjamin: and how long would we stay there?
Helen: one night at the spa
Benjamin: ok
Christopher: Goodbye meeting with Ceiling Space late morning on the 8th?
Benjamin: ok. and when would we deliver the prints for them?
Christopher: Leave for Beijing after lunch on the 8th or early morning on the 9th?
Helen: then we were thinking of doing a small publication too. I think we work on this so it’s ready for the opening. I’m going to start writing now.
Benjamin: great
Helen: Have a think about the format and what you would like to include
Helen: It would also be good to get going on invite and poster now. Can you design this if I give you info in the next couple of days?
Christopher: We’d deliver prints for them before the show opens so that they know what they have available when people come for the opening. The prints should not be the installation shots.
Benjamin: yes, i think so
Helen: Do we print them in London or Chongqing?
Benjamin : chonqqing must be cheaper and easier
Christopher: Chongqing
Christopher: We’ll get advice on good printers once we’ve designed them.
Helen: Okay.
Christopher: And worked out the edition.
Benjamin: have you seen the thunderstorm in chile
Helen: ey?
Benjamin: the volcano thunderstorm
Christopher: No
Benjamin: i was thinking that we could keep going with the clowdy sky background and text thing we did for the london show
Benjamin: but this time the sky would be stormy and with lightning bolts. hang on, ill find the image
Christopher: Yes, cool, Ben. I need to get off the line soon. Helen, can I leave you with Finnish CNN, here?
Helen: I showed them the multi-colour object design and they liked this…would this not be exhibition poster?
Benjamin: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://img.dai…
Helen: hokay, adeui chris
Benjamin: oh yes
Christopher: Yes, that could be the poster. Does it make any sense with the show? Maybe.
Benjamin: that one is good as well. i was just thinkiing that clouds seem to be our thing as an ongoing theme
Benjamin: clouds smoke etc
Helen: I’m confused, which one is the edition and which one the poster
Benjamin: the clouds for the invite?
Christopher: That last text from me was about the little crystal poster we did. Ben, the lightning clouds are fucking amazing! I’m definitely up for that!
Benjamin: cool
Helen: yes. clouds are v.cooool
Benjamin: i think thats more coherrent with our poster/invite look
Benjamin: the sky that is
Helen: Yes, I like crystals as edition
Benjamin: yes. perfect
Helen: I like that the crystal image is stolen, so the edition becomes a copy of a copy.
Benjamin: than we can play around more with the prints
Benjamin: exactly
Benjamin: i also like the idea of having high quality prints of the installationshots sold as editions
Christopher: Really? Installation shots?
Benjamin: yes, signed, framed
Helen: can you work on the invite and poster soon if i give you info, then also think about what we include in publication, do you think the weiwei to hell text would be part of this, or something new?
