Week 1

I expected to spend the first week getting accustomed to the city: getting orientated, exploring the food, finding out where to get certain amenities, finding out how to get from point A to B, and final securing a place to stay and possibly work on a project for WFB. But so far I’ve only been relaxing, I was extremely exhausted from my last week in New York, packing up my work and putting it all in storage (which by the way I managed to fill up an entire unit with all the work I did in my two years at Brooklyn College’s MFA program).

In any case I hope to get more organized this weekend as I will have a somewhat stable place to stay for at least 2 weeks. I think this weekend our plan is to get a kind of get some sort preliminary press release together to send out soon. A few friends are helping out with mailing to local people. I believe Ama will have to sort the information on the video show and possibly with some long distance help from Hsiao, and I’ll be more concerned with deciding what to produce for the space. The original idea was to produce a book and possibly a video in the space. We should also be concerned about the planning each of our days as time can pass without notice. In betweens all his we hope to go to Istanbul for a few days, perhaps next weekend.
