blood wedding?
Adam-
Do you know Rachel Finan with UICA's X Performance Group? They are
working on a large theatrical production of Blood Wedding that will run
two weekends in September. It will be during the Ordinary Aura show.
Like all of our Visual Arts shows this coming season, the work will
need to be primarily 2-d with any 3-d works on the perimeter of the
room. In recent discussions with Rachel, she has some things in mind
regarding set design for the production. She has asked me what they
would be able to do based upon the work that will be up. Of course I
had to tell her that there is no way of knowing right now since the
works are still be developed and we won't know how the space will be
laid out until we can see the actual work. I did tell her that she
should communicate to us what her wishes were, and we could keep them
in mind when we lay out the space.

workshop call
Adam,
So, I'm thinking that if there's an opening on Friday, a workshop could
follow on Saturday, making the best of the artists' time. Have you
heard back from anyone if they were interested?
An idea that comes to mind is the creation of stations, that featured
artists may set up in a certain area and people move from space to
space, but leave their creations behind. That might scare a lot of
people, of course.
It could also be a large piece that is created as a whole, but people
move from segment to segment of it, forcing them to give up ownership
to their own part and hopefully encouraging more creative action.
As you probably know these artists to some degree, what suggestions do
you have about a way to collaborate with outsiders? How would you pitch
a collaborative drawing/art making workshop to someone?
John
what should we do here
it seems like john would like to get an idea of what the workshop will be like
i like how he talks about leaving things behind, ownership
it speaks to the ritual element of aura
what do you think
will everyone be here for the weekend
some folks i think will come for the week before to install
you are all welcome
we will find lodging
let's move on this workshop idea soon
i will forward comments on this post to john
thanks wolpa
