Anderson-Proposes making prints with the color separations used for the catalog reproductions.

Donaldson-Reports on exhibit at the Market 5 Gallery projected for 2 weeks in the begining of March '79.

Critique of Rose Auld's Work-
The piece she displays was shown at an earlier meeting, it is now nearing completion.

Akili-When do we know when a piece is finished?

Frank Smith- When to reduce (remove) an element makes it incomplete and to add an element makes it something else.

Donaldson- "Superfluous." This issue needs to be decided in Afri Cobra on a group level.
He notices the full field color and full field form in the painting.

Auld- Total use of the given ares/ design and embellishment, total interrelatedness of color.

Donaldson-Voidless.

Smith-Full field image.
