Just throwing this into the stack of ideas. A simpler design to go on. Using Ben's Card Back Design with less type and eliminating extra type/text on the front.

Global comment on Critiquing:
Are there or should there be rules for critiquing? Do "rules" then unfortunately border on gag-orders or do planned restraints and perimeters face-off bullying? Should critics practice restraint? When do one's opinions cross boundaries of human acceptance? When do opinions become detrimental? Should anyone say anything no matter what comes out of their mouths based on the right to free speech? Shooting from the LIP. Where/when do societies/ groups/ artists/ writers/ critics-draw the line? What is destructive, false, reactionary or "harmful"?
Language? What is humane, constructive, creative, valuable, considered, thought out, truthful and productive?
Governments face these questions continually. In Canada for example: In practice, the right to freedom of speech is not absolute and the right is commonly subject to "limitations". This is because exercising freedom of speech always takes place within a context of competing values.
Limitations to freedom of speech may follow the "harm principle", for example in the case of pornography, or seek to limit "hate speech".
" Professor Lee Bollinger argues that "the free speech principle involves a special act of carving out one area of social interaction for extraordinary self-restraint: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee_Bollinger
Business Team Leaders face these dilemmas daily. The REAL WORLD… Perhaps some skills could be borrowed, with a grain of salt, from the Real World even if those skills don't directly apply to Art Critiques:

How can artists and writers maximize creative solutions and potential gains by addressing the problems productively without being degrading and bullying? To process: It is necessary for artists to be Reactionary and/or Ambiguous.
Artists MUST be able to "process" and that means OUT- LOUD at times to Think-Tank problems and solutions out. Is there a way to deliver information constructively, even emotionally within an artists' community or group without this information being delivered as or interpreted as a "personal attack"?

Presentation issues
Iva wrote,
"I would like to get few clarifications on the schedule regarding the floors. Are we going to paint them as a class? Otherwise, I will come in on Sunday and paint ONLY the critical areas. If there is more people involved we could get the whole gallery cleaned. I think presentation is at this point crucial."

How to use this blog
1.
One post per topic. Reception date is one topic. Presentation is a separate topic.
2.
Keep replies limited to post topic.
3.
If you want to bring up a new topic, begin one.
4.
If you can't because you don't have access, contact me and I will give you access.
This will keep communication clear. When conversations spontaneously begin to cover various topics it becomes harder to maintain a thread of focus.

Labor Day Weekend Cleanup
Hey guys! I just want to let you know that i'll be out of town for Labor Day. If we decide to do the show reception that day, is there anyway I can help clean up that Tuesday or something?
Thanks!
Thanks!
Show Reception Date
Hey all,
Are we going to have an opening reception Thursday? What if we could just have one reception during the CAM show since that's when more people will be there? We'll have more time to plug the party, it'll be on weekend day which draws more people, and we can save money.
What do u think? ;)

Giving back to the Shop
Hey folks! This semester most of us have received help from Chuck and Irinaeo (sp?). Elisabeth mentioned yesterday that it would be nice if we were to actually give them something legit as opposed to the case of beer Lyndsay and I were suggesting as a thank-you. Maybe we could make them a plaque...or give them a piece of the show? I'm not sure what exactly will suffice, but it's up for debate. We could even present it to them during the opening to make it more "official." You know, because we're all professionals.
What do you think??
