street art dealer launch update

We now have a full list of artists that we will be showcasing in various ways to launch street art dealer in Bristol. The exhibition will be focused mainly on an installation provided by Joseph Watts and Haywood slucutt. Joe coming from a fine art sculpture background and woody(haywood) design the boys have come up with a interactive installation that we feel both accommodates the nature of the QR code whilst also focusing on it's viability in a multitude of representations. Combining this with street based works will in theory launch the nature of the technology to a broader audience. We are planning to release a print of the installation in a micro form that the viewer will be able to take home for free after using the qr technology. In the current climate it's becoming more and more evident to us that creative marketing is key. We are also looking to use the micro print as a way to reward possible street art treasure hunts again in order to push involvement from the public as much as possible. The idea is also to keep the gallery un-manned, if this actually possible. At the moment this is what we are aiming for as I think it will be great to show the autonomy of the qr code or at least it's potential though there are quite a few security issues with this and it may end up not being possible. So at the moment this is all to be updated tomorrow I will be speaking with estate agents to finalise the venue location which we will then release with press on artists involved and obviously the qr code.

We are currently looking attempt venues in Broad-mead to host the exhibition and in talks with various Bristol people about wall spaces to use for the treasure trail.
