What is the organization & Governance?
Dynamic Association -- Members can change from month-to-month
Need 3 jobs - exchequer, scribe, & facilitator
ideal size 6-8 people willing to sign up.
time frame for when to do it.
suggest a theme by Sudo Room.
Sudo Art collective artists discussion-
Only showing art that is part of the collective?
this would need structure.
Advantages of having a small group go in on the Sudo Art.
split cost for space
for paying Art Murmur (or joining)
Need to figure out advantages & disadvantages of joining Art Murmur.
Wine & cheese - some for that.
get local restaurants to serve & advertise.
Mobile payment - Pogo.
Different model - rotate curator. w/ these people.
When the curator is really good.
We can also have lots of Internet art.
on Artist payment
Mission co-op on Valencia - what's already been done.
artists keep something like the 70%. 1 shift per month per person taht takes a cut on the side. 10% house. 20% seller.
Sudo proposals:
Press a button if you like something & a portion of proceeds go to the author of the work or the artist that did it.
People pay a flat fee & then it gets distributed
How should we get these 6-8 people?
Critical here is curation.
should not be too controlled.
Dynamic Association of Displayed Art - separate Sudo Art, co-owners.
curators - people who decide on what goes in there each month.
Connect to the Art World.
email describing it and the invitation to be forwarded around.
Tweet out to people who are artists.
MIscellaneous:
6-8 people as rotating gallery curators.
Signage - Get the logo on the building!
