Laura,
How exciting!!! I'm down with everything -- I suppose I should meet
with Jill as soon as possible. Let me know how I can go down there to
check it out. I'm not clear on when we will be "catching" our overflow
artists though -- I suppose we can contact people from the seeking
page after a certain date? And perhaps put out a request in an email
blast? Sorry I didn't make the meeting to talk to you about this; I'm
way under the weather this week.
This sounds like a great installation opportunity... So, I'm curious:
I work with a collective of artists called Urban Studio that is
partially associated with my school, partially external. Some of the
people actually live in Bushwick, but as a group they've worked on a
lot of public installations (including with the Department of Transit,
and at Art Basel Miami). I was wondering if I could give them a shout
about this space, and we could put together a piece for the show
there? If it's huge enough for everyone in overflow to be including,
you know?
Let me know your thoughts.
-Julia
