Written on the back of a Misc. paper...
here were my notes from class....
Power point:
List the gallery : Front Door
List the Artists:
List the date of the show ( Nov. 29th - Dec. 11)
Photographs of pieces + dimensions
include the list of leadership/organization
and the budget
some things for us to discuss would be what we want the space itself to look like
maybe we could include a layout of the space? also if we want to paint it ( which I think we should, but thats just me)
ok thats the notes i have on the power point.

ether
Marji ok-ed the ether idea via telephone message to me today. She said that she would look over the timeline again but for tomorrow we need a list of possible ideas and I think a little more elaboration on the idea (?) I don't remember I will listen to the message again. Just letting everyone know, she didn't specify that anything new was due, I think we just need to bring something to talk about.

no puppets
Hey everyone, The puppets are a no go. They are both incredibly busy and aren't willing to risk shipping the puppets. Sorry I really thought it was a possibility... :(

more on puppets/ theme
"Ariel is currently collaborating with poet Leonard Schwartz working on a series of pieces based on images generated by the myth of Orpheus and inspired on Giacommetti's and Brueghel's imagery, among other things.
Ariel decided to explore the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice about nature, beauty, death, and music, after he realized that very few of his many artist friends knew anything about the archaic myth central to the life of the artist. The myth relates to the central question of where our inspiration comes from, and how do we emerge from death and the loss of the soul. What inspires us to go searching for what we love and have lost? "
- i stole that from their website. i think that sounds really cool, if we could maybe elaborate on that idea i think that would make an amazing exhibition!
so, just for an update - have we decided on three ideas to present in class yet?
just to get things rolling on things due tomorrow... this is what I came up with for a breakdown on "leadership organization". I image that we all would like to be a part of all aspects of getting this project off the ground, but here we go. - feel free to object.
- i kind of broke things up four ways ...
1) someone to keep track of funding / publicty ( seeing as i think we discussed most of our money would go towards making artist cards and promoting the show anyways and we might also fundraise with the other group )
2) someone to keep track of all the paper work/ documentation ( we need artist statements, a power point presentation PR statement artist contracts... all that jazz)
3) Someone to stay in contact - make initial contact with artist(s) about exhibition.
4) and for the 4th I kind of just figured there would be someone to make sure everything gets done by the due date, keeps the group organized and on top of things ( think president with not such a totalitarian ruling ).
- we could also decide to not follow this at all, and just turn it in for the assignment.
what does everyone think?

two more dead
idea one.
"ether"
3. the upper regions of space; the clear sky; the heavens.
4. the medium supposed by the ancients to fill the upper regions of space.
this would be in reference to ethereal space:
1. light, airy, or tenuous: an ethereal world created through the poetic imagination.
2. extremely delicate or refined: ethereal beauty.
3. heavenly or celestial: gone to his ethereal home.
4. of or pertaining to the upper regions of space.
5. Chemistry. pertaining to, containing, or resembling ethyl ether.
essentially this idea comes from citiques that we had with Marji's homegirls Margo and Lisa who made that Silvia documentary. Margo after seeing a handful of student work made the comment about how it was interesting that a lot of our work dealt with "ethereal space" and how interesting that was both culturally and generationally, specificaly the latter.
so, my idea for this show would be to call it "ether" and to find work that seems to represent this idea of ethereal space. I already have a fairly big list of artists in mind whose work would fit in with this concept and whom i feel would definately be down to have their work go into the show.
idea two
"drawing" - (a more intersting or specific title could be concieved once the work was narrowed down a bit)
this show would be pretty simple, but i think could be really interesting. i have a few ideas on how it could be approached...the first one would be to try and get drawings from people, faculty especially, who aren't really known for their drawings and try and pair those drawings with drawings that come from students or alumni, or anyone really, that would make sense with said drawing. or we could just try and curate a show of work that all deals with drawing on some level, ideally different levels that show the versatility and importance of drawing.
that's what i have for now, i might revise these in a bit once i havea chance to go over them again.

puppets
This is the website for the puppet troop http://www.nakedpuppets.org/. We have a couple of options as far as they go. The director is a professor and is in the middle of his semester so i don't know if he could come down. However two of the members have a group on their own and there is the possibility of getting them. One of them is in washington and the other is in portland (as far as tickets go) And we could get puppets to put on display, some of them are with them and some are with one of the members in Chico and i would be willing to drive and get those. Also one of the members is a singer this is his website http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=230421967. I think this could be really cool and unique. So let me know if you guys want me to contact them.
They're really cool and have done this all over the country. They could do a performance and then Shawn could play during the opening. Also they could probably stay with my sister so that wouldn't cost...
I think that we could probably pull this off if we wanted to so let me know!
