The past two weeks have been filled with much excitement and even more work. Thus far, we have gutted (with much help to Dave Clayton) the interior of the RV, developed architectural schematics for use in our future design and execution, gotten this blog going, read some enlightening articles, and recieved much needed and appreciated insight from experts. This week, Melanie Cohn of the New Museum of Contemporary Art in New York lent her expertise in community art to us by sharing some of her personal experiences and the work of other collaborative artists. Melanie also provided us some excellent advice on publicity, collaboration, and community art. In addition, we met with one of our Technical Advisors, Ron DeRutte, for the first time.
Over the past week, in addition to getting our publicity started, we've been developing scale models of the RV-- of both the architectural and sculptural sort. Sam addresses this in depth in her post. Stay tuned for images and discussion of the models in Week 3!
Personally, I've been pretty involved in getting blog set up-- and I'm very excited that now other members of the team will be able to update the blog from their own, personal accounts. Also, I invite anyone else that is interested in our project and process to participate through comments-- we really appreciate any and all feedback! And though we've gotten quite alot done in the past weeks, we've still got plenty mountains to move and balls to get rolling-- and I can't wait to get started.
