WAMminutes 8.18.09

Marina, Minerva, Norma & Mewow met at Quetzal last night to discuss the progress on our body of WAM works for the Tedda Hughes gallery show. Here's the highlights of our wee meeting:

A new name for Cherry Pop?

• Minerva suggested that the name Cherry Pop does not adequately convey the theme of all our assorted pieces, and that we should brainstorm on a new name once we see the complete collection.
• We decided the works submitted and proposed all still fit under the "pop surrealism" label.
• Most of this work could be said to...
• ...reference the dark side of sweet/cute
• ...examine the tension created by limitations, bodily imprisonment
• ...the conflict of superficial ideals with bodily realities
• ...others?

Costco Print Order Deadline • Thursday, Aug. 20

• Flannery emailed Stella about emailing Tedda about picking her favs for the show so we can include those in the Costco print order.
• Minerva recommended we use www.getdropbox.com for the transfer of large photos. (log in wam.now@gmail.com, password: wamnow)

Other show updates

• Flannery pulled Amelia's images out of the Tedda selection folder since she still hasn't heard back from her.
• Minerva's entering a selection of Little Monsters in the show. She has the prints at her shop and can show Tedda in person.
• Somebody else will be showing at Tedda's during October... Stella, do you know anything about the art? Will it fit with our theme? Should we co-promote?

Mark your calendars: Next Meeting Tuesday, Sept. 1, 7 p.m. @ Quetzal
