Clash - Magnificent Seven

Days have been so beautiful and warm that everything seems so much easier and lighter than at the beginning of this week. Yesterday I spent some time at the office of The Arts Council of Central Finland (reading dictionary - but that's another story). After just hanging around for a while I left for home but as it felt so good just to be I stopped in Gallery Becker and called Timppa. We went out to eat (in Sohwi). It was pretty much a perfect day.


Today I made an exhibition poster and an invitation to an exhibition for Timppa (+ then the new invitation here). Actually, *we* made. Timppa took largerly part in designing the whole thing - maybe the next ones will be his design from the beginnig to the end. The biggest problem we had was the size of the original photo's of painting. We need A3+ size and their resolution at A4 size is 300dpi. So, for poster purposes there is only about 170dpi availability. Not very good and really makes me a bit anger. But we'll wait and see... The printed stuff will be in our hands next week.

As I'm thinking of starting to print some of Timppa's paintings to posters and postcards, I'll propably will order new photos which are all taken in a proper studios with a right kind of equipment. I'm a bit excited about that plan - to go and do something I really don't have any experience with. Whoooo.

Right now I'm coding Taidemajakka ('Art Light House') project site. I actually just found a few technical solutions to the layout - propably very simple but for me it was like I just invented a wheel. These kind of small thingies give some power to go on...

+ The usual updates: Alvar Aalto Foundation + The Craft Museum of Finland + Gallery Becker.

edit (a bit later): We'll propably cancel the Välittämö exhibition we have planned to organize. I haven't been really active in this project and I wasn't planning to exhibit anything but still... I'm not disappointed or anything like that but still there is some kind of void feeling. More about the whole project later.
