Trasnah gallery's pioneer batch

went to visit the potential gallery space that has been much talked about.  i was 1 hour late in meeting the trasnah boss.  told them that i thought i left my ezlink card at home when it was wedged between my handmade books.  he was rather nice despite my misconduct.  

here's the view from the entrance

through the door

artist studio

backyard to do spray jobs, drilling, 

sawing...dirty messy work

here are some pics of the space.  our task is to organize a pioneer committee to plan the running of the gallery, the interior design, placement of art, contribution of works, pool of exhibitors, how to go about with shows, planning of POPs ... we don't have to worry about publicity because trasnah's coporate side will do its bid to push sales of ALL artworks exhibited. 

here are the terms:  

1)you don't have to be an art student or artist

2)you don't have to pay for the gallery space

3)you have to be a matured teenager (don't want old artists)

4)you set the price of your work.  the gallery will evaluate and if it thinks that they can push the sale at a higher price, you will get what you proposed and the gallery will make cash from the difference.  and 5% of your earnings will go to charity

        A)(eg. you set $400.  gallery thinks it can sell your work at $500.  work is sold and you get $400(proposed) while the gallery earns $100(difference) and $20 will go to charity(5% of earnings)

this could also be the scenario...

       B(eg.you set $400.  gallery thinks it can sell your work at $1000. work is sold and you get $400(proposed) while the gallery earns $600(difference) and $20 will go to charity(5% of earnings)

this could also be the scenario...

        C(eg. you set $400.  gallery thinks it can only push your work to sell at $450.  work is sold and you get $400(proposed) while the gallery earns $50(difference) and $20 will go to charity(5% of earnings)

this could also be te scenario...

         D(eg. you set $400.  gallery thinks it can sell your work at $500.  after a month of advertising and blah blah, work still can't be sold. gallery  re-evaluates and sells it at $450.  still no sales and gallery negotiates with artist to sell it at $200.  work is sold and you get $200.  gallery gets $0 and $10 goes to charity(5% of earnings)

5)about four charities will benefit from the donation ( HIV, Yellow ribbon project...)

6)works have to undergo boss's green light before being put up

7)advertising is all done for so no worries

8) the boss assures that all work WILL sell through trasnah publicity and road shows alongside prisonmates' works. 

9)artist studio can be used by contributing artists during free time(its our space!)

10)contributing artists will not be paid if they come back to do organization planning or to do own work and experimentations ( only paid if work sells)

11)old items like lamp stands and wooden pieces can be used for reworking to be made into installations or other forms of artwork.  anyone can come and make sth outta it, quote a price and if it sells, the cash goes into ur pocket, and its the same as point 4) just that some raw materials are provided already for recycling into sellable works.

dunno what else to add ... anyone wants to contribute in the planning committee or even put up works please contact me !!! due in 2 weeks.
