I'm loving the quilt things in the email account!
I think we could make a really interesting exhibition out of that kind of stuff, and she also mentioned doing some kind of performance on the opening night when I spoke to her at the meeting.
Graeme - I totally agree with what you said on the reply email about getting the other people who worked on the kind of 'craft' theme (like Laura Thomas etc) involved in the same exhibition, and hopefully doing some kind of workshops etc.
When is everyone back in Leeds? Maybe you could all come round to mine one evening for a meeting, plus wine and food?
Merry Christmas!

Hi guys
good to hear theres some good proposals- alec doherty is my housemate- he's got some really good ideas and he's pretty organised and motivated, and i think theres two other people that he wants to do an exhibition with.. sounds good.
I havent had time to complete my proposal as yet but i can give you a general idea about how things are progressing- it's looking like i'm going to collaborate with another nick- nick davies whos on my course. We both work in a process-based way, me mostly on a large scale and sculptural, his usually smaller and 2-d - drawing writing and scrawling: we have some similarities but we are also very different, i think it would be a good contrast:
The idea is that we spend two-three weeks, in january, working in the space every day and building up the installation, culminating in an exhibition at the end of jan. The exhibition at the end will predominantly consist of what we have created in the time, and maybe some other bits, including some film/animation of the construction process, and maybe some previous works. My work will consist of architectural constructions made from brick, mud, organic matter, wood and all manner of other junk that will 'grow' around the space. The exact nature of nicks work i'm not sure about but i imagine it will be largely drawing, i envisage his work taking up more of the walls whilst mine takes up more of the space. The extent to which our work interacts with each others work is as yet indecided and may evolve as the work progresses.
The idea is to have it as an open studio so people can come in during the construction period whilst we are working if they want.
Possibly this could be organised into one or two 'open studio' afternoons instead of any old time.
I also though about having other activities during this period- for my part these will consist of practical workshops- a rocket stove building workshop and maybe another 'building stuff from junk' workshop, and maybe we could get other people to do other workshops\activities during the period.
i would like to start the construction on or around the 7th jan. Graeme will it be alright to spend quite alot of time in your basement over the course of january? Also whats the key/landlord situation? I'm not that keen to do too much more preparation until that is sorted.
see you guys soon happy christmas

***Updates!***
Howdy!
Hope you're all having good Christmas holidays so far! I'm stupidly excited about going home and eating Christmas food until I can't move off the sofa.
Ok so, proposals. We've had two that sound potentially good. They're both in the gmail inbox if you haven't already seen them. They are:
- Alec Doherty - does really cool illustration type stuff, including work that they do live to music and animation. I think he works as part of a collective so this could work really well as an event night and subsequent exhibition of the work that gets made without us having to find other artists to supplement it.
- Alice - does photography of architectural details and nature and things. She's got some interesting ideas about how to exhibit it, but i've asked her to email us some examples of her photos so we can get a better idea what they're like. I think we'd also need to find people who work on similar themes - like architecture - to be able to make it an interesting exhibition.
I've emailed both of them today to say that we'd like to meet up with them in early January to chat to them some more about their ideas. Hope that sounds ok!
How's it going with your ideas for your exhibition Nico? And how was Berlin?!

Call for proposals
Hey kids,
This is what Graeme and me wrote earlier and has now been sent out to the mailinglist, facebook group members and on myspace:
Hi there,
Firstly, all of us at the hydeOut would like to extend our thanks again to those who came down to the opening meeting on the 27th November. It was really good evening which it seems was enjoyed by everyone - the mulled wine was a particular hit!
We have now ploughed through the postcards that everyone kindly filled out but unfortunately for those of you who requested a fight club or a vegetable garden, you may be sadly disappointed…
On the whole, there was general enthusiasm for art and photography exhibitions but there were a number of calls for open mic nights, workshops and film and illustration projections. We now need to start forming plans for exhibitions and events for after Christmas. So those of you who already have art, music or film that you’d like to have exhibited/shown/performed, and anyone who’s got a definite idea for something specific they’d like to do in the space, please email us your proposals, with pictures or links to your website/myspace/facebook/youtube, and we can get the ball rolling! Our email is hydeoutgallery@googlemail.com. Or if you’d prefer to talk to us in person over a cup of tea, just get in touch and we’ll meet you for a chat.
With the festive season fast approaching and many of Hyde Park’s residents heading for homes in other places, we’re asking that artists try their best to and get proposals to us by Tuesday 18th December (just under two weeks time), so we can start putting together plans ASAP.
Much as we’d like it to be, we can’t guarantee that your work will be shown, but we want to find out what is being produced around Hyde Park and the surrounding areas and if we can fit you into a particular theme or event we’ll do our best to do so!
Look out for future updates related to the goings on at hydeOut. The planning for our first exhibition is already underway and once we have a date, you’ll be the first to know.
Cheers,
The hydeOut team x
