Preliminary
Proposal
I am proposing an open raffle as a participatory
element for one of the 2016 On the Line one-day long exhibitions. The raffle concept will be in conjunction
with the local community aspect of being held at a specific library site and
the celebration of the statewide legislation to hang laundry in California. The
raffle can also be viewed as a participatory element toward the engagement with
discussion about laundry lines and understanding the On the Line exhibit.
The
raffle will offer the opportunity for visitors of the On the Line outdoor exhibit to win the objects needed to
personally participate in the statewide legislation. All the basic essentials
to dry laundry outside will be the raffle prize. These objects include two packs
of wooden clothespins, clothespin bag, a length of clothesline, two metal
eyehooks (for hanging the clothesline) and a laundry basket.
Preliminary
Logistics
I am proposing a morning and an afternoon raffle
drawing during the timeframe of the On the Line outdoor exhibit. The raffle timeframe can be for
a half-hour to forty-five minutes before the drawing of the laundry line
essential prize. The reasoning behind a short time frame for each raffle
drawing is the timeframe of the one-day event and to include the public/
visitors that will be coming and going from the library site. This allows two
chances to participate during the day event.
The
specific raffle times can be included with the marketing of the one-day event.
During the event, students from University of California Riverside and/ or
event volunteers can hand out free raffle tickets (1 per person) and
communicate the prize, time and specifics of the raffle drawing as well as the
art to be viewed/ corresponding events. Carrie will provide both prizes and
raffle tickets. In addition, she will conduct the raffle drawing.
Documentation
and Archiving
To document and archive this participatory element of On the Line, I (Carrie) will provide a text concerning the
background and the participatory element of the event for the On the Line web presence. I would like to also collaborate
with the person in the photo or video role of the exhibition to have images include
with my text.
