Meeting Minutes – July 1, 2008

In attendance – James Andrews, G.H. Hovagimyan, ThomasHutchison, Raphaele Shirley, Edita Zulic

Conflux festival has accepted our proposal for theirfestival Sept.11^th-14^th the proposal is on the A.M.Website http://artistsmeeting.orgunder the link Public Exhibition Space. James says that we should try and have some presence at the Center forArchitecture that will be the main meeting point for the exhibition.

Part of the proposal was to create a psycho-geographical mapsuperimposed on the map of publicly owned private spaces. Raphaele suggestedthat we select sites from the NYC gov map http://www.nyc.gov/html/dcp/html/priv/mndist1.shtml

 And create placards that go next to the placards that are already on the site.

She suggested printing on silver paper and laminating tofoamcore and then attaching to the wall. The new placards would have phrases or sayings from the Artists Meetinggroup.  The psycho-geographical mapwould then be placed at the festival galley space for people to look at and/orfollow to see the interventions we plan to do.  The content of the placards can be stream of thought,psycho-geographical statements from the group.  Here’s debords statement on psychogeography http://www.bopsecrets.org/SI/urbgeog.htm

Also check google image search -> situationist maps

The brochure placed in the Center for Architecture can becalled a “library of concepts”

Division of Labor –

Since this is a large project we need to have severaldifferent people responsible for different sections of the project. If you wantto be involved in the project please sign up for a specific task and assume some responsibility.

1. printing barricade tape and taping up areas- The suggestion is to print the phrase “Public Exhibition Space and document via photo and video

1. produce placards (conceptual psycogeographical statements)

1. office temp interventions

1. Documentation videos (shoot, burn dvd and take to Center for Architecture) set up tv & player at architecture center, do daily “rushes”

1. Manufacture of seating cushions

1. Raphaele Finale “Melting City”

1. Do psycho-geographical video interviews with people on the street in front of chosen map places.

Since there is no money for thisproject we suggest that each member contribute $50.00 for materials.

GH says he will try and find outabout the materials for the arts to get some for the cushions.

Sign-up thus far.

Item 1.  G.H.

Item 2. Raphaele

Item 3. James

Item 4. Raphaele

Item 5. Thomas

Item 6. Raphaele

Item 7. 

It is important to have more than one person involved in each of these projects because they are each separate art works that should bearticulated as fully as possible. Also in the collaborative more than one person makes for better art !

In order to focus and facilitate the project we’ve decide toorganize a walkaround to the sites on Sunday July 13^th.  It’s probably best to meet at 11Harrison and plot our walking tour from there. Let’s meet at 11 am and perhapshave a brunch after a couple of hours someplace like the south street seaport.
