ephemera, books, crates

A while back I was part of a show called "F is for Free, Eph is for Ephemera." The idea was that each participating artist made a multiple of something that would be distributed as part of the show. The curator actually made an online catalog of the project plus a CD version that was distributed. Check it out here: F is for Free

I was thinking maybe we could take this idea and use it for a publication somehow. Each crate that gets created (if we go that route--I like the idea) could have a distributable component--to be decided by the artist. Then we can scan or photograph or otherwise get the "ephemera" into a format that can be used for a book. The ephemera could be something truly cheap and easy to reproduce--if you wanted to make a print, the distributable part could just be a photocopy but the actual editioned print could be included in a portfolio that could then be for sale... The ephemera could be, as Lydia said, a way to brainstorm ideas for the actual project. Then the ephemera could actually travel to Croatia as well... or, it could be another fundraiser?? A complete set of ephemera included with the deluxe edition of the book?

Also, I visited a really great gallery in Zagreb called galerija miroslav kraljevic. They show work and work with artists doing really interesting, interactive, outside-the-gallery kind of stuff. I wonder if we can collaborate with them somehow...
