Please don't ask anybody just yet?

I am not satisfied doing this without some opportunity for people we don't
know having the chance to submit. I am not interested in only showing folks
we already know.


Is Karen Tauches the only female artist in Atlanta? I don't think so . . .

Suggested so far (with some opinions):


Pablo Gnecco Flux artists (they are many and from all over)- just had a
show at 72 Marietta
Micah Stansell - seen him a lot lately
Stan - four "yes"
Bernard Praz (Dali-style agglomeration with lens) - probably not feasible
Karen Tauches (at least two votes "no") at least one vote "yes"
Dennis Coburn -
Crash Hottman -
Maxwell (self-nominated!) :-)
Kris Pilcher - one vote no, two votes yes
William Massey - he's already commissioned for the big project in October

Artists known for responding to site:
Patton White (performance)
Helen Hale (performance)

Literary artists?

Other performers?

Musicians?

It's a perfect opportunity to do what Eyedrum claims to like to do in terms
of working across media.

I'll be running this idea by other committees' folks, too.

I'm writing up the parameters, making calendar, etc., but won't have it
ready until late this afternoon/early this evening.

Could interested parties get together in the next day or so to
plan/discuss? this evening after 9 I could do. Tomorrow after 9. Friday
before 7, after 9 (running concessions stand to make Eyedrum some $ at West
End Perf. Arts Ctr. We could meet there)

Taking care of other Eyedrum biz.

Feel free to telephone if you want to.

THANK YOU ALL  for being engaged. This is fantastic.
