Exhibition Challenge Roles
All of these roles involve substantial extra work, and extra credit. If there are multiple people who are
interested in one role, the final decision is made by Lori, and will be based
on your previous performance in the class and the specific skills involved.
Look over the list, and see if there is anything here that
appeals to you. If you are interested,
please send Lori an email by Wednesday, 4/24 with the following information:
- Your name
- The role you’re interested in (choose ONE only!)
- A few sentences about why you think you’d be a good fit for
that role
Editors
(4-5 per class) – Compile all of the poems and artist’s statements from your
class. Review them for typos or
proofreading errors, and deliver them to the Editor in Chief.
Editor in Chief
(1) – Compile all of the work from the editors into the correct format for Lulu
books (they have a template…this should be fairly easy). Save documents as PDF files and upload.
Videographers
(1 per class) – Make sure our entire exhibition is captured on video tape. Edit video (minimal), and give final copy to
Lori.
Scheduler
(1 per class) – Create a schedule for the exhibition that is workable
technically and that provides variety (i.e., not all the kinetic texts should
be grouped together). Communicate with
tech and hospitality crews as needed.
Interior Decorators
(3 per class) – Develop floor plan, gather all materials and furniture, plan
art displays (for visual art pieces), and enlist other students to help you put
together the room. Also responsible for
working the doors during exhibition, and for any publicity (posters, etc.).
Vendors (1
per class) - Coordinate and distribute any refreshments during our
exhibition.
Tech Geniuses
(1 per class) – Coordinate technology, get all recordings and kinetic texts
on hard drive of one computer, manage tech during the show and announce name of
next poet.
