FINAL AIM
Aim:
We will impose our personal workings onto a public space, allowing the interaction between the public display and our personal works to form a new narrative within the space.
The space will function as a platform for a conversation between the five members and the properties of the space, cleaners, vandals, &c. The group discussions and interactions will be entirely in the form of material interventions within the space.
Memorials and shrines are our starting point, we are interested in shifting the use of these things from the veneration of politically-motivated cultural metanarritive to venerating our personal experiences, in the style of an impromptu memorial.
Accumulation of physical actions and materials will inscribe a narrative onto the adopted space.
Methodology:
We will have a blog, log, bibliography and box to collect our research and communication with each other. However, we will not discuss anything to do with the actual interventions with each other, such discussion will take place through the interaction of our interventions.
Bibliograhy: http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dgnmf3m2_91hzhfqfc6
Timeline: We will endeavor to make one interaction a week each until week 11. That's all.

Group Meeting Notes 13/08
Hannah Feels its too broad.
Should we modify each others work?
Hannah want to provide gifts for people to take but does there is disparity in the limited ability to negotiate a response to each others work without hurting on each others work,
nevermind, yes everything is up for grabs yo. (we have decided that everyone is equally
vulnerable in the space, as much to the public as to each other)
Right now the conversation between the interventions right now is quite random and incongruous, we think a rhythm will be stricken with further efforts.
Hannah isnt good at vague, maybe she should try to impose a structure.
Bruno doesnt want it to get stuck in public vulnerability rather than private experience.
We are relating in the work as a conversation in itself.
We should quit talking?
The Blog should be for research and questions only.
Not talking will allow the space as a conversation between the five of us
so Everything gets filter through the blog, log, bibliography and bow for photo and research
should we use post pictures on blog? yes.
log is only for single sentence descriptions.
Wednesday will be our joint picture day (without talking)
haha
hannah is afraid of materials.
put in aim we are all interested in the shrine like element of accumulation.
nevermind, we cant take each others stuff.
fuck.

Drafted up an aim for y'all.
Aim:
We will impose our personal workings onto a public space, allowing the interaction between the public display and our personal artifacts to form a new narrative within the space. We will re-contextualize both our personal pieces and the public place, blurring the boundaries of the public and the private.
Methodology:
We choose a space and impose our personal onto it, each will make one (personal) intervention in the space per week. We will not seek permission before each intervention, allowing the properties of public space, (cleaners, vandalism, etc.), to interact with our works. Over the weeks things will accumulate and our works will begin to interact with and respond to each others' and the new environment we will create.
Do you guys think I did it right??
Do we all agree on these things as the basis?

Questions Posed By the Group 06/08
What do we hold allegiance to, the site or the intervention? i.e. in the Public meets Private debate which is primary?
Do we post an open invitation into the intervention process? renegade art?
(this posses the problem of inviting vandalism)
What about staging an impromptu memorial of some kind and inviting people to contribute personal artifacts?
What are the possibilities for the roll of failure in out work?
Does an intervention have to be seen? If the aftermath is not visable should, then, the process be? If a tree falls in the forest...
What about the site as a platform for communication? Is art communication?
If so 1>who are we trying to communicate with? Massey? Each Other? Only the staff in charge of keeping the space clean?
2> what are we trying to communicate?
Are we interested in the historical, architectural, or situational contexts of the space?
What is the roll of colour in the space, or in our work?
