"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?

i think your break up of tasks sounds good, even if it's just to turn in on tuesday. as far as ideas go, i think we should just stick with aby's puppet idea and at least one of mine(or both, i will flesh them out a bit more and repost them later today). although, this
"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? "
is really cool and if something could be worked up around that i would be into it.
sometime today, unless someone beats me to it, i'll start a post that will be my ideas as far as budgeting goes.
well, i stole that off the naked puppet website, so whoever wants to do that write up of the puppet idea can somehow incorporate that into the theme of the show, that would be awesome.
so that gives us two artist ideas, so we just need a 3rd,
I have either one of the ones we talked about on Sat.
rob's room
or
some sort of gathering/happening/temporary gallery space.
does anyone have any ideas to add to them? or a completely new idea?
I think the puppets and both of robbs ideas would be good to turn in
