This is rather logistical (please disregard the jumpiness, I must recap):

I've heard from: Katherine, Maggie, David, me, Jeremy (possibly) that March 3/4th might work. Should we set a specific time and day? Jeremy/Neva-maybe you should clarify what works best for you.

Neva--we'd love to see you--any Iowa City-bound carpools around? Plus, I think we should go ahead with the "At The Edge" exhibit proposal. Would you like to spearhead the writing/details--since you are our shiny-token Chicago artist? I'd be happy to have some conversations/revisions etc. via email or the phone. I think we should jump on any collaborative ops we find (sending several out is often more opportunistic than sending one or two, especially as the ball is rolling and the DVDs are crisp and fresh and the proposals are written in a current Moving Crew sensibility).

Here are some details from the BEMIS UNDERGROUND:
We will receive one keg of beer-gratis-for the opening reception (thanks to a local brewery).

The show (Nolan) prior to The Moving Crew will end June 2nd with a week of breakdown following. Thus we can enter the space and begin around June 11th or so-officially our slot is June 15th until July 21st, but we have a week before and after to work. Our press release must be planned, fine-tuned and completed very soon (hopefully in March for full coverage and hype, international journals and such). During our meeting I'd like to decide upon the opening date. Some discussion has already ensued regarding opening later than June 15th, giving us an extra week to develop the space, live in it, gather the troops. Other discussions have touched on the nature of schedules--births and moves to Seattle. So please, each of us, begin to gather specific information about June and July and our potential engagement with the BU space.

A trip is being planned to visit the Bemis Underground in March (probably during Jeremy's spring break March 19th-25th). Anyone is welcome to come along--keep me posted if you are interested--I'll let everyone know when ASAP. Part of the visit will involve a discussion with Jeremy Stern, the Bemis Underground curator, about details of the space (flag poles, sleeping in the space, sticking a trailer somewhere, the dock, the river, Carter Lake, local vigilantes and regulations).

Distant?: We need to create some sort of list for the objects/projects within the show (although this is an alternative space and our project has very little to do with the salon of objects and sales-- Mr. Stern claims patrons of the space frequently need guidance). This is something we need to ponder--signage is another alternative, leading the audience through, a path, the proposed maps and manuals.
