Leave a reply

I recently made contact with Sal Randolph, who runs intheconversation. From her, I heard about the one2one festival going on very soon, in New York. Wish I could be there!

details:
one2one festival, November 20, 2005

Be Something announces the first biannual one2one festival, taking place at private and public locations throughout Manhattan and Brooklyn on November 20, 2005. A small and intimate participatory performance festival, one2one is based on the concept of direct energetic transmission of the artist to the audience and back again. All performances are designed for an audience of one (or in very special situations, a pair of close friends or relatives).

In most cases, performances run consecutively throughout the day. Appointments for individual performances can be made through info@besomething.org.

A closing party will take place in the early evening, open to participants and general public. Location TBA.

participating artists:
Michelle Nagai
sto
Jonathan Osofsky
Sal Randolph
Kathe Izzo
John O

just a quick note about four things:

http://www.massobs.org.uk
"The Mass-Observation Archive specialises in material about everyday life in Britain.
It contains papers generated by the original Mass-Observation social research organisation (1937
to early 1950s), and newer material collected continuously since 1981."

great lil blog about uncollectable art processes and "social architectures"

http://www.hostelprojects.org/about.htm
"Hostel is an organization dedicated to the support and presentation of artwork in public and social space. We have a particular focus on supporting artists who wish to research or execute work in cities other than those in which they live." [thanks to Lisa for the ref.]
