Hi guys! We've been talking a LOT about Paris over here in Philly, brainstorming, trying to pound out the sketching. And we've come up with lots of ideas! Including:

1. WE'RE SO EXCITED!!

2. It seems like we could use an additional "theme" to help visually tie everything together. We've all done a lot of great email brainstorming about the sorts of projects we can each bring, projects that tie into the concert hall idea and showcase our many talents, and now we just need to figure out how they can visually relate. We've tossed around ideas like aurora borealis and a black hole (the lights being invoked by Lili and James, the swirl of a black hole being conceptually invoked by the structure conglomerate that we build, and the symphony of sounds that will be happening) among others. It's not a theme we'd necessarily want to state to the public, but it'd be another layer that provides depth and visual cohesion. Thoughts??

3. In the process of talking and brainstorming together, we realized that much of the energy that RH brings to a projects happens face-to-face. It's those magic connections that happen when everyone's in a room together and spark off each other's ideas quickly, in a way that's hard to replicate on email. So instead of skyping, we (V, B, and I-- A's at a wedding in FL) are talking a Philly break and are headed back to Ny for the meeting tomorrow. We are really looking forward to seeing you all and brainstorming out ideas to make the Concert Hall visually cohesive in a way that highlights everyone's projects in an awesome way!

See y'all super soon!

Hey guys

I'm excited to know you're coming to NY for the meeting. I wish I could join you as well.

I'm looking forward to seeing your sketches and everything.\Do you think you could scan them and send them out ahead of the meeting, this way I might even be able to render them on Sketchup.

Design of the space should be the number 1 priority for tomorrow.

See you guys.

Best

I think part of the problem we've been having is that we really want to consult with everyone to make a cohesive idea. The drawings we have right now don't yet reflect that-- they're in chicken-scratch pre-idea phase still. We've been having trouble getting you more "final" ones, because email's not usually how we work and it's new for us (we're so very happy to do it of course!! It's just that it's different for us, so it's slower cuz its a new process). 

I think it would waste your time less if we could just talk with everyone tomorrow? Is that okay? Because things will shift quickly as we all talk. V and B, I'm not sure your schedules exactly (they're doing a film that's being projected on to the New Museum, so COOL!)--- would it be right in saying we can spend time after the main part of the meeting sitting at Flux and drawing all the drawings that Jean needs then?

I might have to join you over skype, since my dog is not feeling so well, but I'll go to flux if i can!

No worries there, Serra – Some artists tend to be more email-savvy and others work really well in person, and as long as we can come to the table and hammer out some concepts together, we'll be golden. (I think we managed to plan our "small groups" well, in this case!) Still, with Rabid Hands in Philly over the next few weeks and several of us overseas, we'll need to keep the communication channels wide open!

Sure thing, you folks can hang at Flux for a bit after the meeting, if you'd like to flesh out your ideas a bit more! I have a friend coming into town in the afternoon afternoon, so I'll have to leave around 3-ish.

(The New Museum! That's pretty swank, guys!)

hi all,

 

this is our floor plan sketch/idea for our meeting today - also a bit of a map.

 

looking forward!

one more quick sketch for brainstorming today.

 

keeping in mind that the public can't climb steps/ ramps -- the public walks into these structures.

 

this drawing shows how unique architectural installations could be collaged together - the structures would overlap sometimes under or over adjacent structures and by different amounts and artists could build one large portion or build smaller portions throughout.

 

the patchwork installation could rise organically/abstractly from all sides - no actual front, back, side so that it works on the round as a huge sculptural piece in itself that can be entered and approached visually in an interesting fashion no matter where the public happens to be.

 

the drawing shows 5 people building structures that the public walk through - is this right? are 5 total people building "housing" structures? Serra, Ben, Vanessa, Andrew, Nick?

 

Ranjit, are you building as well?

 

just thoughts to keep the ideas flowing.

 

Georgia, it would be great if hard copies of these could be given to everybody at flux (if possible) to mark on as we throw ideas around and i am happy to make another floor plan for Jean that reflects updates from the discussion today as a companion to the 3D sketch up.

 

soon,

 

j+l
