Hey hey the MLE!

Welcome back.  I so can't wait to have our meeting on Friday.  So much to talk about work-wise and no.  It's my last night in New York, quiet sad.  Our meetings in Baltimore went well.

Focus... Suzan, focus.  Writing blog post now.  We did some work on this for our client Portland Green while you were away, and thought I'd bring to your attention.  To quote Portland:

"S.A.D is an archive that is collecting small, discreet, performative actions, and non actions, that have been realized by artists and citizens from different communities, as a response to the inequities, discrepancies, absurdities and abuse of historical laws/bye-laws, demands, constitutions and commands of government as they impact their specific local communities and spaces. Each action, which places the body in a different public space, is a form of local or personal empowerment, cultural disruption and a form of civil disobedience."

The Tim Etchells’ project Certain Cancellations really stood out to me.  It comprises a set of three posters/flyers which unequivocally announce the cancellation of a series of entire days.

There is so much to protest, speak out against, and fight in the past couple years, yet everyone is so complacent.  It's always nice to see art like this.  I have some ideas for our own resistance project re the banking crisis and all it entails.  Basically, the problem is that it's such widespread corruption that affects so much, there is no centre.  There is no king to behead, no war to oppose.  I think maybe we can use graphic design to add some clarity.  Hatching ...  Let's speak Friday.  xx
