New York New York and meeting in melbourne in August
Hi Guys
I'm down for the Justin curated show from Monday 20th - Saturday 25th August. I am installing at RMIT Monday and Tuesday so any time and day between Wednesday - Friday to meet up and discuss stuff would be good.
I was speaking with Justin and I think we should consider making a work which is both a wall design but also is presented next to a table which has a free A4 poster (limited edition) that is given away + a folder layed out on the table of all the other projects. i think it would interesting to set up a dialogue where the work is both definative within its owns aims but is also transitional or in situ. I think this type of working model would really suit it. Also I think in the past we have tended to get further and further towards making definate objects within a given space and time frame, where this work can be considred either finished or transgressional. Also in new york there is a great space called the Drawing Room which I think we as a group should apply to do a kind of seminal planning room of inverted topology which could incorporate all facets of the group, our individual aims and also what we are attempting to say through the work. Also i think this form of open active dialogue is beneficial because we all have our own personal studio work and concepts/theories and I think making things like this would take the work into another area. Also I think at some point we should think about producing a book as a work for an exhibition instead of an installation.
Anyway this is my virgin blog. it's been a long time coming but finally got it out of the way.
cheers, Kyle

This I.T. project sounds good.
Count me in.
But, similar to Kyle's idea, what I'd like to do is err on the side of simplicity with this project. Because it's a fairly new approach, we need to keep it very economical in means.
I concur with Kyle's sentiments on developing the installations more towards the conceptual, rather than the object-based. I also see the value of the I.T. project being more in it's 'authorless' process, it's automatic production techniques, it's situationist temporality.
But to initiate the concrete planning in terms of the work, I was actully thinking that we should just submit a very basic acetate overlay. Printed onto this overlay could be one geometric drawing from each contributor. All drawings could then be flattened and printed out. From there, whoever is installing it could then project the acetate, and create the wall
drawing from there.
In terms of painted elements, perhaps Danny could source a small number in time for when we all meet for the A/A/S show. We could paint them then, and decide on where they would be positioned in relation to the wall drawing also. In terms of the work, this would be interesting because then you would have two different facets working in relation to each other. The painted elements need not be highly complicated either - if the wall drawing was flat black, perhaps the shapes could be a neutral mid-grey.
If there were fluoros to be installed, perhaps we could just indicate which of the rectangular elements they should be fixed to the side of, or even underneath if raw pine spacers can be made. Two fluoros? Red tubes?
And that's it. I really think that getting too detailed here would be counter productive.
That's my suggestion, and that's my answer to how this work could be 'brought into being' when everybody is down for the A/A/S show.
I also think that Kyle's idea of a comprehensive table display would be a great inclusion, positioned at a right-angle to the wall painting. Instructions, designs, books, and statements.
What an interesting work that would be. And a great lead-in to a more comprehensive show later on, where the entire breadth of the project could be displayed...
i like justins suggestion of an individual acatate drawings to be projected as a wall drawing. its a good way to adjust to the scale of the work to the site esp if someone else is installing on our behalf. its also makes sense conceptually and is an interesting 2d/3d sensibility.
im in melbourne for 3 nights from tuesday 21 august around 4pm. look forward in catching up. mimi
