Today I met up with my Unit X group as we have had a 3 week break for Easter that has given us time to develop our ideas. I notified the group via a brief Facebook post a few days before this meeting to remind them.

After a good turn out, we sat and talked about what ideas we had come up with and how we could link it to appropriation. We went round the circle and got an idea of where each member of the group was coming from. A vital thing discussed is how we would hang or display our work, so that we could think of a way to utilise the space we will be given at Federation house. There are a lot of painters within our group, so we discussed ways of displaying these pieces without using a wall. As we do not have an assigned curator, it is crucial that we practice the layout of our exhibition before the main event.
After looking at each others brief notes and sketches, there was a few ideas floating about that stood out to me, these being:

• Iconic imagery
• Taking images/ideas out of perspective
• Manipulating images
• Consumerism
• Re-working old ideas to create a new outlook
• Influences

Other things we discussed were how we could make a collaborative, simple piece together as a group within the short few weeks we had. I suggested a panflet/zine that has collective images and passages from each of us. The images being of our work or work that has inspired us. This idea went down well with the group and we talked about making it a rather amateur looking piece that we could duplicate and distribute with ease. We thought another good idea would be to make the publication into a piece that reflects the amount of adverts contained in modern magazines, by putting a lot of images of modern art in-between our own passages. This would reflect the 'distraction' element of advertisement's used in these magazines.
After closing the meeting, we agreed to meet Friday the 24th and bring our images and passages for the panflet/zine then.
