Window project
So here's what I got so far for the window project, let me know how we should revise this. Actually, I was thinking of a general notice and then a more specific one for those who are interested.
Short info:
We have moved into a new studio which features a large 6x11 foot window that faces out onto the street in downtown Durham. We've decided to open up this window as a project space for artists to execute work in. Work can be made and installed by the artist, made and sent for us to install, or possibly sent to us as instructions and executed by us. In general we were thinking of temporary projects, as the window gets the early afternoon sun pretty hard and will likely fade anything like acrylic paint, though we can be flexible. Initial idea we've had include hanging multiple objects, using contact paper, silhouettes, hanging paper prints/drawings/etc on long rolls of paper. If you have an idea, send it along, and we can try and coordinate it, and see if we can work it out with a potential visit (work could be executed here too, we've set up a screen printing station and have a variety of material you could use.) We will set up a website to document the projects soon, and we would have a display plaque with the artist's name, location, website, etc on it in the window. Here are some images of the window and the building. If you're interested, send along any questions and I hope we can show all of your work...

I was thinking one month, just to keep it simple. that commits us to finding 23 shows (there could be people doing multiple shows or perhaps extended showings), but i think that can work- just "June 2006- Justin, July 2006, Mary" etc. I can think of a few people who would be interested, pending on when they could do it, and from there it can generate it's own interest.
People to invite-
Justin, Durham
Mario Marzan, Chapel Hill
Sam Brown and Karen Griffiths, Minneapolis
Micah Bornstein, Chicago
Jerome Grand, Grenoble
Mark Rice, Bloomington
Michael Markwick, Berlin
Mary Lewandowski, Rochester
Dan Hlavinka, Denver
I can think of some others, but I would think these people would be interested in working with the long-distance thing or coming here to work. Perhaps send out the feeler today? Other people who may be interested, but maybe not interested in long-distance or doing a project like this, unless they see is working well...
well i am in,, you let me know when where and i will start thinking about what and why...!
