Sculpture and Stimulus Plans

This note from Greg Lundgren this afternoon.

I am sad to have missed your talk last night at John Boylan’s conversation. Probably good I stayed away as I can be a little long winded about sculpture, what it is, who it serves and how it manifests in ways that we don’t immediately consider. I read the blog post and it reminded me that I wanted to talk about my Bumbershoot exhibit this year that I am curating in the Olympic and Orcas Rooms. It is called Dada Economics, and I think it’s going to be quite fun. I’ll be announcing and producing (12) + Arbitrary Art Grants over the next 5 months in mediums such as dance, writing, painting, music, art dealing (hey the market’s falling) and sculpture. Actually, sculpture is the first one I am announcing and even though the art grants are only $500.00, I anticipate the collective project to generate a lot of work (and yes it will be the good, the bad and the ugly). Anyways, I’m waiting for my new website to grow wings, but all of this talk made me want to say hey- it is going to be a busy year, I have a few different economic stimulus plans in the works… Here is the poster:
