More Planning Makes Perfect

June 9th, 2011, 8:55 pm

 

We went into greater detail about what we would specifically like to see from each group. We are beginning to have a better idea of what we would like the set up to look like. This may change once we begin bringing in the projects, prototypes and other materials into the gallery.

As for right now we are trying to figure out spacing and creative ways to integrate one project into the other without one over shadowing the other. We are aiming for a natural flow between the projects and throughout the overall gallery.

This is what our map looked like on Tuesday.

 

We realized that the gallery may end up being a lot smaller than we imagined. With that being said, we had some of the groups with large prototypes take measurements. We intend on finding a safe yet, creative way to hang the Guerrilla team’s tire swing.

This is what our map looks like today.

There is still a lot of planning to be done in regards to set up times and transporting projects and prototypes into the gallery but the Media Team is working hard to ensure things run smoothly.

Mapping Out the Details

Kristen suggests ideas about final presentations.

Today, the media team went around to each group to discuss what we would like each group to have ready for Thursday, June 9th. We gave each group ideas of what we would like to see on the day of the exhibition. Each group will provide the media team with photographs of their prototypes and the work that has been done over the course of the semester.

Kristen gave each group a list of things they need to have done by Thursday. We are on a strict deadline which means we have to double and triple check to ensure things run smoothly.

Media Team examines the gallery space and dimensions.

A walk through the gallery gave the team an idea of the space we would be working with. We went over ideas of how we would arrange things and move walls. We also drew out a site map and jotted down additional notes.

The Media Team goes over additional ideas.

There will be enlarged photos, working prototypes, and interactive demonstrations.

Open Corridor & Drive Thru Symphony: Culture to the NAFTA Highway

January 4th, 2010, 8:23 pm

Canada’s busiest international border corridor was transformed into a drive-thru art gallery this summer by the University of Windsor’s Green Corridor. From June 18 to September 23, 2009, the Open Corridor Festival featured outdoor public art exhibitions, events and performances along the area identified as “the Green Corridor,” on Huron Church Road between College Avenue and Assumption High School.

The Drive Thru Symphony, which premiered on September 23, 2009, was a site-specific, real time installation and performance work that incorporated sight and sound while integrating vehicle traffic and drivers into a collaborative event. The stream of live sound from the musicians and the traffic was also broadcast over CJAM 99.1fm’s airwaves as it happened, encouraging contributions from those driving through the performance. Pictured above, students power instruments, lighting, and sound equipment by riding bicycles.

Featuring the work of ten artists with connections to Windsor and Essex County, the Open Corridor Exhibition, which opened on June 18, 2009, found public art installations, performances, and interventions at the edge of the NAFTA highway. Images from the exhibition are featured below, while a catalogue of the entire festival is currently in the works.
