Exhibit Preparation – Plan for the Artwork – Part 3
Upcoming Solo Exhibit
Part of a series of posts on the preparation for my upcoming solo exhibit, Dwelling, at Macky Gallery, Feb 17-March 17 with an opening reception Sunday, Feb 21 from 1-4 and artist talk at 2pm.
To see photos of the artwork as I’m creating it, check out my page on facebook: www.facebook.com/LisaCallFineArt. Images of Home #10, in progress, were posted over the last few days.
If you become a fan (click the ‘become a fan button’) you’ll see these updates in your newsfeed. If you aren’t on facebook you can still check out the page every once in a while as it is public and you don’t have to be on facebook to see the images. So I can focus on creating the artwork I’m posting the images on facebook as it is quicker than posting them on my blog.
Is There Time?
In the last post I estimated it would take 273 hours to complete the artwork for this show.
With 7 weeks to do this work I came up with the following schedule at the beginning of the project. The time estimates for each week are based on work holidays.
In general I estimated I can work in my studio an average on 3 hours on work days (my day job takes up most of the time) and 8-12 hours per day on weekends and holidays depending on other activities I have planned for the weekend. To make it to 273 hours, I tossed in a few vacation days from work.
With the chart below I was able to convince myself there was time to get everything done and jumped in on Dec 27 to make it happen.
Tomorrow I’ll post how I’m doing as I’m 2 1/2 weeks into the project.
