The group talked about the Whitney Highline proposals. Everyone agrees
to read or put their proposals online at the artists meeting list. The
list archive to view back proposals is
http://nujus.net/pipermail/artistsmeeting/

Please put your proposals up on the list ASAP <artistsmeeting(AT)nujus.net>

Chris suggested that a venture capitalist site called the funded might
be a place to pitch the artists meeting fund. http://thefunded.com/

The Whitney proposals are the top concern for the group. Raphaele
suggested we all read each other proposals and critique them in some
manner. Lee suggested a winnowing down of proposals. GH said he thinks
we should give them all the proposals as an example of the amount of
energy the group has.

GH says that he will try and write an overview essay over the holidays
that everyone can add to.

Lee suggests that we have a Table of Contents with a two sentence
description for each proposal. One idea was to make the evolution of
proposals ongoing. This can be done on the AM joomla site. It was
suggested that this process of an ongoing evolution of proposals should
be part of our methodology.

Daniel suggested that the idea of working together as an investigation
is another viable strategy and overall theme.

The group talked about the idea of engagement in each others’ processes
and also engaging the public. There was some discussion about including
the public in the creative process as for instance a painting party and
then the group re-packaging and presenting the finished product. GH
pointed out that that’s a strategy similar to web 2.0. The group
takes the position of privileged artist and aesthetic gatekeepers.

Raphaele unrolled the anti xmas mural and there was quite a bit of oohs
and ahs! The final decision was that we would take separate photos of
each rendition and use give them to the group as e-cards for xmas.

Finally it was agreed to meet at GH’s again in one week to finalize the
Whitney proposals.
