Week 5: First Site Visit & Meeting with the Landlord

For week 5, Cay and myself (Nicole) had our first site visit and meeting with the landlord. The potential site venue our was looking at was the 5 Roxburgh St. (Mount Victoria) space. We first found site advertised on shared space and we think location is accessible, being at city centre.

The concept of having a house for our initial pitch 'Behind the Facade' was appropriate for our theme.  The feedback for our space had a few problems to deal with like fireplace, curtains and the domestic appeal of the space. These distractions may affect how we present our artworks.

We met Denise (landlord) on our first site visit. We liked the look of the space, as much as it is domestic, it does give a gallery vibe with high cielings, white walls and the constrast of the black floor help give that gallery vibe (even with some distracting elements).  We manage to discuss with Denise our plans and what can possibily be altered on the space.

From the images shared on Facebook, I liked how the space was wider even though it is only one room.  Photo from Facebook group  5 Roxburgh St Mount Victoria  The Roxburgh St Art was our initial location that we found more suited to our original concept of Behind the Façade, we decided to stick with this as it meets our price range how close it is and we like that it is not completely similar to a white cube gallery space. Before we locked down the space we had a phone call meeting with Denise to discuss what we wanted to do with it as well as set up time for a site visit. We kept in touch mostly through emails.
