Collecting for the Collective.

So no one has really done much collective wise. Things have been busy and we all understand.

Lydia and I have been chatting extensively about ideas that we could do for shows. In our discussions we have mentioned appropriating our works together so we can show work and kind of let the collective actually "BECOME SOMETHING"

At KCAI people have been bitching about not having any gallery shows in the PD/F space. We thought that we experiment with collecting mass amounts of a certain media and displaying them all together, along with a joint statement. For example i have an obsession with Cell phone pictures and picture-mailing. So we could all individually print cell phone images and the collaboratively curate a show out of them. Another example could be test prints or practice images, this way people in other medias (graphicdesignBencoughcough) could submit pieces as well. (This is a great way that our foreign members can actively participate too.)

We have come up with some other ideas that could be used as well but pending on feedback to this post, this idea can be pursued more in depth.


ALSO! We have discussed that the publication idea zine, fliers ect... should be better thought out over the summer.

eh. thats all.

Yo! I like this idea of collecting a big bunch off stuff (cell phone images etc) and curating them into one big show. I also love the idea of collecting lots of peoples tests and scraps and proof sheets. Sometimes these ( or a lot of them) can be better/cooler/awesomer than a finished polished work. Again just putting in my 2 cents but yea. I am planning to send you guys stuff in the next few weeks by the real live physical mail...so it may be a collection of things for this sort of idea. yea.
