instructions for portfolio organizers
ARCHIVE SETS OF PORTFOLIOS:
All theme exchange portfolios will have two additional sets, one for the SGC International Archives at the Zuckerman Museum of Art and one for the Ewing Gallery of Art and Architecture at the University of Tennessee. Typically, the colophon and/or title page of the portfolio should list this information. For the SGCI Archives, each portfolio organizer should complete a SGCI Portfolio Datasheet. In addition, each portfolio participant should complete two forms, an Artist Print Data Sheet and an SGCI Limited Purpose Release. Portfolio organizers will be responsible for collecting and turning in this documentation with the set of their portfolio for the SGCI Archives.
ACCURACY OF INFORMATION:
All theme exchange portfolios have a dedicated URL on the conference web site. The description of your portfolio and the list of participants posted on the web site should be checked by the portfolio organizer for accuracy, as this will be the basis for the information to be printed in the conference program. Any changes should be sent to Jessie Van der Laan (jvander5@utk.edu) by January 10, 2015, at the latest.
Please review this document of signs being prepared for display of your portfolios, and email SGCI2015@gmail.com, with any changes by Friday, February 13, 2015.
EXHIBITION OF PORTFOLIOS:
With a few exceptions, most theme exchange portfolios will be exhibited in the Art and Architecture Building on the UT campus. Portfolio organizers are asked to ship the University of Tennessee copy of the portfolio to the UT School of Art to arrive no later than March 5, 2015. This should be the numbered edition for donation to the Ewing Gallery, and should be clearly labeled if you are sending this with additional portfolios. Most portfolios will be installed in advance in our Art and Architecture Building for conference viewing Friday, March 19. We will take care of de-installation of all portfolios.
PORTFOLIO EXHIBITION LABELS:
Portfolio organizers are asked to email a MS Word document to Jessie Van der Laan (jvander5@utk.edu) with the following information by March 1, 2015: Name of Artist City/State/Country of Artist Title of Work Medium Please include a label for the title page and/or colophon. We will produce the labels for all theme portfolios using a common typeface. We request that all works sent for exhibition are clearly identified, and when appropriate, indicate the top if this may be a potential issue.
TABLE PRESENTATIONS OF PORTFOLIOS:
