Mr Sjolander,
Your request was considered by the
Senior Management Group at their meeting
held this morning.
I regret
to advise that the Senior Management Group has refused
your
request.
The Authority thanks you for your interest, but
unfortunately is not willing
to proceed with the proposal.
Kind
regards,
Ranee Crosby.
Looks like I can not send you the attachment so please
look at the main
picture at:
www.artinvest.homestead.com/
It is only a sample of a big print mention in my letter as below !
Not how
the design of the actual space will be
designed!
Ranee Crosby,
Thanks very
much for asking, it was in my mind too after my last message
to
you.
First of all, there will be no cost at all for the Port
Authority, nor for
the City Council or any other authorities.
I intend
to entirely finance the project myself with some backing support
from
particulary a small number of Island Tourist Enterprise.
The life expectancy
- as far I can see it now - would be 12 months at the
time and after that a
renewal of the contents/"picture".
My view on, running a public
competition for the visual and information of
the content on the space I
believe would be futile as it suggest a finance
from an authority.
I
intend to produce a large poster print on vinyl similar to what e.g.
Real
Estate business are doing and my experince of doing such large scale
prints
are good. My contact for producing the prints are located in
Beenleigh,
Brisbane. I enclose a Print of the size 270 x 520 cm I did a year
ago as a
museum object.
The construction are made of a light aluminium
frame attached to the exiting
structure.
I would of course get some
revenue in form of personal presentation within
the large space approx. 3.5 x
12 meter. The visual and the text information
shall be easely seen even from
the Townsville Entertainment Center opposite
the water channel. The absolute
best view will be from the passengers on the
Ferry to and from Magnetic
Island.
The contents has to be worked out at a later stage and I am happy
to give
the Port Autority's Management Board, full transparancy and
control.
The priority for me right now is to save the space for the
project, a space
never ever used before.
I hope this comments will
help to clarify your questions and that the Board
will approve the basic
proposal and from there we can go further with the
details.
Naturally
and reversed I should be glad if the Port Autority cold uplet the
space
witout any charge as my intention is to rather beautify that Port area
and
contribute to our City promotion.
Cheers
Ture
Sjolander

Ture, Thanks for the note. A couple of other questions spring
to mind which
I would appreciate your comment or advice if known:- - has
there been any
consideration regarding the costs of carrying out the works
and who will
meet these costs (i.e. Townsville City Council, Townsville Port
Authority
etc); - what would be the life expectancy of a sign of this nature
(i.e.
repainting after 5 years?); - what would your view be on running a
public
competition for appropriate design and/or wording?
Kind
regards,
Ranee.
