Artists Meeting – minutes April, 8, 2008
In attendance –James Andrews, Daniel Blochwitz, Eliza Fernbach, G.H. Hovagimyan, Thomas Hutchison,
 
The group discusses moving ahead with the project of putting warning tape across the entrances of Madison Square Park (23rd & Madison Ave). Thomas had visited the site as had Eliza Fernbach.  Thomas had drawn a map of the park and counted eight entrances.
The discussion was the sequencing – Each taper gets 2 entrances, one to tape up and then walk to the another entrance and take down the tape.  There was another level of philosophical discussion about public space/ private space. Also the notion of Dérive , a situationist technique, originally conceived  to disrupt the flow of consumerism. Daniel talked about the idea of free cities in Germany and G.H. talked about Hakim Bey’s  book T.A.Z  (temporary autonomous zone as being inspired by the idea of pirate democracies in the Caribbean in the 18th century.
 
The discussion of how to proceed with the Madison Square Park was discussed. Thomas said there is an arts organization. He had researched getting a film permit but thought it was too costly.  He said a parks permit was much easier and more appropriate.  GH said when they met the British guy doing the gorilla projections on Union Square Park, didn’t even have a parks department permit. The park manager told him he couldn’t have loudspeakers but he could project on the facades of the buildings.
 
Eliza Fernbach talked about her project Rushing to Your Death?   And there was some free association on the idea of pausing or reflecting.  The discussion was about what to print on the warning tape and also the title of the project.
Some suggestions were;
Special Bulletin
Pause
Faire La Pause
Piano Piano
Fünfzehm
Break time
Closed for Surveillance
 
The idea of pausing the park  was proposed and the idea of having various languages on the tapes was discussed. 
 
James said we should have a “fake construction” billboard that said “future site of “  and have a picture of the park cover by a mammoth skyscraper with the park on the top!
Tomas said he would meet with the Madison Square Arts committee and propose our project.

Next scheduled meeting is Apr. 29th
