Luke McKinney has a wonderful idea
what if we teamed up with some real estate agents working on selling foreclosed homes, putting art shows inside these homes that coincide with open houses. we could do this in multiple homes around the city, giving the agency publicity and also ourselves. Luke also thought it would be valuable to get Abe Morell on our side, since he works with rooms and spaces for his giant camera obscuras. that could get the event some serious publicity, as well as the possibility of funding
so let's work on this, guys, because i think it's a swell idea!
we need to have a meeting before Morell talks at the Nelson on Thursday. How about Wednesday after class (2:20) or around 5pm? thoughts?

Abelardo Morell
Just found out this guy (who turns rooms into camera obscuras) is coming to the nelson atkins on february 25th for an artist talk. We should be making sure we go see this talk.
SECOND COLLECTIVE MEETING!
Collective Meeting
February 11, 2010
Discussing “like minded” artists, connections between works.
- Art being “cultural criticism” no postmodernism. Who participates… ? no one even knows that its criticism because they don’t pay attention.
- Creating a new movement that is not postmodernism
- Talked about Lydia’s rambles
YOU CANT ARGUE MOOT POINTS (examples where given…)
- We put too much faith in the ideal of photographs
- We cant define photos anymore than we can define art
Image to reality comparison, if its in a photo it happened, if its in a drawing its fake…
- NOTHING IS REAL, everyone filters differently
- The context influences the reality of something, if its digital its fake ex.
- People say you cant trust a photograph, but you really cant trust the photographer
- You look at photographs to fill the gap of what you cant explain but we cant explain reality?
-
Ben doesn’t understand what’s going on… I don’t either…
We decided to discuss issues about photography so we can research deeper
- We shouldn’t praise “great” artists if we don’t agree with them.
- We need to tell everyone our ideas, TELL MINOR WHITE.
- What?
IDEA!?
- Maybe we should start a monthly art magazine?
- Work towards it?
- Ben is totally into it.
- Gallery fix ups?
- Painting having a show in the block space?
- Outside of school SHOW.
SHOWS DO IT
“Doing the littlest thing is better than doing nothing.”
--- The people who are here lets have a show
The end
Lydia, Ben, Austin, Cory, Brandon, Jason
Don’t try and make things match because you can change your self to be what some one else wants. Do your own thing. Being a “technician.” Learning how to light things in a machine like fashion.
The zine doesn’t have to be all photo based, artists in other medias could be involved. And writings can play a large part in assisting our work.
Content for zine?: local artists, photography based? But not really… Austin rant column. PLEASE. Local news, expanding things from facebook,
The publication should come out as the same time as the show, because you will be able to use the mag. as a catalog of images and writing featured by the artists of the show. The first addition maybe writings of WHAT THE COLLECTIVE should be, and if it’s suitable maybe those ideas could be published.
Add in student show dates
GOALS!
1. lets have a show
2. hey about a zine?
3. Lets fund-raise!
4. GET OFFICIAL.

7PM Jannes Library, by the fireplaces.
bring your ideas, your work, whatever you want to share.
the main topic of discussion shall be searching for purpose amongst our collective (ha! that's our name) works.
From Alex_Question for KCAI crew, skype hook ups? me and mish are keen to get in on it so if you have two laptops we can both be here with video and audio. Yea??
in other news, there's another collective out there... The Wooster Collective. they focus on showcasing what is essentially street art. their website is pretty neat to look at, so check it out.
