We held a meeting today to discuss the design submissions for the show. However we were told point blank by Phil Thomson (who is now in charge of curating the off site show) that the University will not support a show at Curzon Street with the title 'Juicy'.
The title is deemed to be too 'studenty' and we can use it for the MA degree show on site, but for Curzon Street it has to be more sophisticated.
Basically if we persist in using the name 'Juicy' for the off site show the University will not chip in on funding. So we have a problem now that we must solve quickly, otherwise we will miss our deadline to get the promotional print and invitations distributed, and we really can't go ahead without their funding.
Also, the emphasis for the off site show now is that it is not a student show, but an exhibition by a group of international artists who have studied in Birmingham. The off site show will therefore be linked but not a copy of the on site show.
So, we need a new title ...
I was thinking about using something that links to Juicy but a word that is more sophisticated (OOZE maybe? PER:OOZE? Just ideas ...). Or we could go with something completely distinct?
We need your input on this quickly as the clock is really ticking now and there is so much to organise ...
PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS AND IDEAS!!! ASAP!!!
