Setting up the Exhibition - Day One - The Dowse Art Museum

Tue, 22 Mar 2011 00:27:17 -0700

Today Chris Jackson and I started to set up Yield at The Dowse. It took a while to unpack the frames/stands and unwrap the boards and after we'd got that sorted we started to place the stands and PSP supplied boards in the right places. Tomorrow we dress the Purfex mannequins, put everything together and do the tidying up, making sure everything is exactly in the right spot. So far it has been a relatively straightforward build - it was designed (extremely well) that way, by Chris Jackson - everything just slots together, no glue, no fiddling about with things, easy.

The panels look great - great scale, layout etc and really crisp line work and the colour looks perfect. Great work Gerbrand!

With the mannequins and garments on the stands it will give some much needed height to the exhibition, the space is really quite high (although the panoramic photos don't show it).

Looking forward to tomorrow!

Yield Stool Production

Today I have been assembling stools for Yield, as well as a few other jobs. They have come together well, although not always perfectly.

Luckily, using cardboard thee is always some yield (excuse the pun) within the structure when fabricating, and it can be much more forgiving than other sheet materials.

You can see that there are two other graphic patterns, other than the test print that we used, which look great and add an extra dimension to the design, thanks to Gerbrand van Melle.

Photoshoot

Sun, 13 Mar 2011 18:36:08 -0700

Over the weekend Thomas McQuillan and I shot all the garments in the exhibition, front, three-quarter, side, back and other side. After initially having a minor disaster which looked to stymy us completely we pulled it together. Check out some of the behind the scenes action!

Yield Stool

Here is a finished Yield Stool.

This one is cut from the test print of Timo's panel. There us a black rubber extrusion that protects the base, and the two black lines in the spine are two pieces of pine.

As the tool we bought to cut the 72 degree angle for the spine didn't work, the stool now comprises of two 18 degree pine wedges to attain the angle. These are stained black, and give a visual link to the black extrusion on the base.

The stools are amazingly light and surprisingly strong with some yield within the structure.

Using the Xanita board as a fabrication material for furniture has been quite challenging, but I think I have produced a stool, perfect for a short rest within the exhibition that also escapes the 'cut & slot' aesthetic synonymous with this material.

Gerbrand van Melle's fractured graphics really make the piece and each set of four stools will exude a different graphic quality.
